Old Folks Gather in St. Croix

Its Wedneday and everyone has been here since Saturday and I think its going pretty well. We are having some big fun despite losing Jace for awhile . Well he wasn't really gone. He had merely hitch hiked into Christiansted to buy a t-shirt and some fiber pills. Meanwhile Dirty Doug aka Goldenrod aka The Anaconda, and Raz took off in the Jeep to "rescue" him. Mary and Charlie had been pretty clear about his whereabouts but no matter, he needed to be found. He returned home and awaited there for someone to pick him up for lunch at the big house. Raz said he would, but then he started listening to Doug's ipod and got distracted and then he ate lunch and took a nap. Marg and Jim went down to see how Jace was doing and there was smoke coming out of his ears. He had waited tooo long. He had Charlie drop him off at Raz's so he could yell and give him "what for" and then he returned to his unit to watch TV and curse. That night there was a tearful reunion and all was forgiven, friends again, friends forever,

Today we took a sail on the Teroro out to Buck Island to snorkel and frolic on the white sand beach. Mary, Joy and I did a stunning water ballet with Jace as our centerpiece, the magnificent Neptune. Its nap time now. Soon we will gather again for dinner, some will drink too much, some will exagerate, some will talk non-stop. Its quite an adventure.
