Today was spent on the big island doing what we just love to do over there, shopping and eating. I'd gone over by myself but ran into George and Jane and Judy, who had similar but bigger missions. Which meant that I got almost everything on my list (which fit in one small bag) and they got everything on their lists (which fit on three dolly's and countless bags). A fun day, no whales seen but a lot of laughter. Lunch was with some friends of G, J & J, a wonderful couple (who live in a condo that made me forget I was in the Fajardo area at all). We were served an excellent lunch as well. I drooled over the photo of their gorgeous Alden sailboat that they used to sail over here regularly until a couple of years ago. I guess when the captain starts pushing 90, that's allowed. As ever, it is always good to get home...the cat was happy too. No, I didn't get a camera today, the photo is from another shopping trip...soon come.I got this in email today and it was refreshing to see that we're not the only ones who get 'the questions.' Enjoy!
