Dance

Parents Day at Dance class.

Keeping up the tradition.

Soccer Mom

My life as a soccer mom is rewarding; Triple C 6, Cayman Prep 3. Proudly in the stands in support were Carol and Shirley.

Good sportsmen after a hard-fought match. Good start to the weekend.

Mismatch

Mismatch day for the children at school, thanks Aunt Shirshir for the help making them look so beautiful.

Me with the models in the parade, note my assistant keeping a close eye from the passenger seat! Yes, I brought Hawaiian Tropic back to Pirates Week and the response was outstanding.A beautiful day Sunday at the sandbar and Rum Point. These were no ordinary models, they helped find, clean and eat the conch!

Remembrance Day Holiday

After three days of rain from Ida the sun shined brightly on a holiday Monday. After Hunter's ortho appointment we boarded Greg's boat for conching. It was a little tougher today, after only a week of open season they were few and far between. But we got our limit and proceeded to Rum Point for a little socializing. A beautiful day, beautiful friends and the most beautiful water I have ever seen, not a bad way to spend a holiday. Pictures soon come.

New "Blinds"

The new Living Room "blinds", stained over the past two days and now mounted in place. They roll aside rather than open as bifolds and one can now sleep in darkness anytime night or day on the couch! One more set to go for the living room and then the boss wants the kitchen done too...

The Bed

Jenn needed a new bed and found one on-line that she liked, problem was we couldn't afford it. So we built it. And now three weeks later it is finished sufficiently to be installed, it has 8 compartments on the end and sides for storage.

It is a little higher than the average bed, well actually considerably higher! But she now has tons of storage and is no longer without a bed!

The baskets before we put in the shelves. Thankfully it has been raining for the past hree days so there was lots of time to get things done inside. New living room door pictures next! :-)

Halloween!

Hayley, Chloe and I went to the haunted house at Grand Harbour on Friday night. They made it through 3 of the 5 rooms and then decided they had enough! So we watched the surfers for a bit and then had some dinner and headed home.
Saturday night we all went out (except Rex). They got lots of candies, I got lots of proposals but no candies. Oh well, you cant have everything! Sunday was the first day of Conch season. Jenn, Greg and I went out and got our limit in about 10 minutes, cleaned em up, fixed them in two styles (mine Cayman style, hers Manitoba style) then we all got back together and ate them tonight. Manitoba style is not bad....

Rainy Sunday

The usual Sunday afternoon activity: boating to Rum Point. But the storm clouds were threatening.

Still got in a great session of Football before the rain.

By about 5pm it was getting threatening but we were a little late getting out of there and got caught in a really heavy squall.

It was a whiteout but we managed to get back to Governors Harbour safely and back home. Actually a really fun time, all's well that ends well!

More football

My life as a soccer mom continues and fortunately Hunter's team is doing well.
Today's game was at East End Primary and the score was 8-1 in favour of Triple C!

Hunter played most of the game and performed well. On the way back we picked up another load of pavers and this afternoon Jenn and I just about finished paving over the "flower beds" on the back porch. Looking forward to tomorrow... :-)

Busy Saturday

Got the Halloween decorations out in the front yard,

then made a trip to North Side house to get a load of pavers which we then installed over the beds on the porch,

and Hunter's team beat Prospect Primary 4-2! Now I can't wait for a day on the water...

Maxwell Roulstone HSF

Despite all the rain, the Maxwell E. Roulstone High-Security Facility is almost complete. If Max can jump this fence he will represent the Cayman Islands at the next olympics! He and Rex are missing their nanny, Granny and Auntie as are the rest of us. :-( Just look at those sad faces...

Trip to the caves

What to do on a Sunday morning? First coffee and Omlets with Nana, then a visit to "Uncle Darvin" and then time for adventure!

We decided to check out the caves near our North Side house.

There were no bats in the cave, just some hermit crabs and a whip scorpion.

The cave is in good condition and just one old shoe-print. Not easy to get to since Ivan but my explorers were up to the challenge.

A great trip but really hot and humid,

time to head to the water!

What better spot than my "private beach".




Fun's over, time to bathe the dogs. :-(

September 13th

It was a beautiful day, which is quite amazing when you consider that five years ago to the day we were venturing out to survey the destruction from Hurricane Ivan.
We even brought out the water trampoline, but there were also other ways to get high!

Lots a lovin!

I think the trampoline needed some air.

Fitting way to start the football season!

Where is the rain?

Sunday at West Bay with the most beautiful weather considering we are supposed to be in the rainy season!

Happy Birthday Nana!

It was a special time for Carol as she celebrated her birthday at a surprise party at 55 Memorial. And at 9:09pm on 9-09-09 she blew out the candles with the help of three very special friends. And yes, got my camera back from the shop!
