Bushes and Bunnies

 First I need to post a picture I took yesterday but forgot to share.  While picking up Brianna at her elementary school, in a very quaint neighborhood, the bike racks were full.

                                            How cute these scooters look "parked" for the day.  

Today's goal - pull three bushes out of the front of Kevin and Isis' home.  The evergreens were blocking windows and access to outlets and the outside faucet.  
                           The lower branches were removed in order to attach the chains for pulling.

            Two came out easily with minimal mess.          The third required cutting roots and made a mess.


Loaded onto the trailer and transported to our "dump" site.


                            Even Brianna managed to help throw the smaller branches down the hill.

                    The "dump" site behind Megan's pool is the best spot for organic debris!


                            And now the windows can be seen and everything looks open and fresh. 

 Almost like the original!

And because we managed to complete the task early - we headed to Megan's to help with fall cleanup.  The cover is in place on the pool - thank you everyone for helping!  So much easier with many hands.

The solar cover in the rafters and the vegetable garden torn apart.  Despite the almost 80 degrees today - summer is over.

International Rabbit Day.  We had many rabbits through the years.  Megan's first arrived on Easter Sunday 1999.  Thumper was an easy rabbit.  Subsequent rabbits, not so much.

We had rabbits chew telephone cords (way back!).  One managed to jam herself in the fridge coils and we thought we would never get her out!  Most were litter boxed trained but not all.  All were rescues that wound up at our place because, "Why not one more?"
All were super cute though!





The plan - back to Megan's tomorrow to help with her To Do list.

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
