Been a busy few days at the house..

And apparently a busy week in the BVI with Necker Island going up in flames in Irene..


And the Tropical Sun grounding on the Rhone at Salt Island. No, the coconut telegraph has not given a reliable store on the circumstances yet! BUT it was floated off at high tide two nights ago by shifting weight from the fore to the aft and a couple tugs with no damage to the Rhone itself. It has now been given permission to go into Port Purcell and off load its cargo. Hope their weren't any fresh vegetables on there!!!


My dear friend Janice has been really championing a newish singer, and sat me down when she was on the boat to play some music for me. This gentleman is called Levi Lowrey. I think the type of music is called Southern Ground...

She went down to Atlanta on Monday to watch a benefit they had put on, and sent me this picture of her and Levi... (she really is cute..) After convincing me to also watch the benefit on StageIt, where you pay to be on line at the concert. It is a great idea, but the technology needs some work!


Here is a sample of the music, that he plays, I really do enjoy it...


This was one of the things we had brought home to California from the BVI that Bazza had to use some electrolysis to clean up to find out what it was. It is an old caulking tool for wooden ships hundreds of years ago. How he knows this crap I have no idea!


The deer in the back yard got a change from the flowers and bows mom and dad had put on..Something more fitting with our boat lifestyle!


My father is good at cleaning my windows and they are much cleaner now then when Bazza did them! Nice having live in "help" when the parents arrive for a visit


Dad took on the sorting job of all the coins, which is only fair, since it is for him I shuffle all my coins up from the Virgin islands for him to look at in case he needs anything for his coin collections...


I now have an extra $276.00 in my bank account...Woopie...


My moms face when I brought her home a new Iphone, (she had wanted a cel phone when they are down here in the states..) apparently ms internet will be really happy to have facebook..


Her face looks much better then mine did when I had to go to the dentist's this week and get my first ever crown..
