Snow Mold

Ever since the snow melted, we have been wondering what is wrong with our beautiful golf course lawn. Well...... it seems we have 'snow mold' - caused by the lawn being covered in snow for so long. Fortunately, it should go away in the spring. I hope so.

Vacation Pictures

Drew and Sarah just sent us some pictures from their Caribbean cruise vacation. Here is one. Great times for them and for us - because we get to have the kids for 12 whole days!!

Caribbean

We have the grandkids with us for about 10 days while Drew and Sarah enjoy a Caribbean cruise. Here's a little of what they wrote this morning:

We had a wonderful day in St. Thomas. Went on a great shore excursion! We were on a catamaran and went snorkeling. We saw turtles, snakes, rays, and lots of fish. One was tiny and bright blue with green dots!!! I got burned so today we are going to try and do a little less sun. The Suite is awesome. Free wireless Internet, walk-in closet, and lots of other cool stuff we will tell you of when we got home. We had breakfast on our deck this morning and right now we are pulling into Dominica. Tell JJ we are going to a place where they filmed part of Pirates of the Caribbean! We will take pictures. We have had perfect weather so far.

and more......
Today we spent the day in Dominica. It is beautiful here, a "garden island". We went up into the mountains and we saw many places where Pirates of the Caribbean II was filmed. We swam through a narrow gorge and jumped into a water fall then we went to some natural mineral hot springs and soaked there. It was very fun and relaxing.

On the homefront, we are 'enjoying' temperatures in the teen's while they bask in 80 degree weather. Oh, well, we get to have the children with us and are enjoying having them here.
By this time next week, we'll all be back to normal.
