Three and a half days of a downed server a missing blogger makes. Service was restored yesterday afternoon but I was almost out the door. However, I am crediting the Three Kings, whose day it was, with that restoration. Things just don't get fixed on holidays around here. Or right before them. Or right after them. It's sort of a law of nature that we accept with better grace over time. Or not, depending on the circumstances. Since I pretty much missed all of Three Kings Day, and knew I was going to (bread baking all night and afternoon parades weren't going to mix, I was pretty sure, and I was right), I didn't even put straw under my bed for the camels, and yet they reached through time and space and lit up my modem. Thanks, Three Kingly Dudes!
Luckily, some people did not miss Three Kings Day. The right place, the right time is what makes those magic photo moments. Debbie was kind enough to share this with me so I could share it with you. I wish I'd been there.

On my way to a hilltop gathering of friends, we stopped for a moment (ok, we were 45 minutes late and we're sorry!) at Dinghy Dock so I could drop off some bread. The Three Kings Day buffet was just getting started, a great guitar player was there and Orlando and Mary Ann just happened to have some instruments with them. A Culebra serendipitous event, what can I say?

| Is it me or is there something about this vignette that is....so Culebra? So Neil? |
Today, Lewis, my Mac guru, is going to take away my Steve Jobs blessed computer (the only reason any of us can come up with as to why it keeps resurrecting itself, the man himself touched it) and get all my stuff off of it in readiness for transfer to the soon come new computer. Until I get it back in a couple of days, these photos of a few days worth of Culebra while I was offline will have to hold you, as far as my blog goes. Be sure to check out a couple of other
Culebra blogs in the meantime, there are some great photos out there!

And then it was last night, up on a hilltop.
