Full Moon Rising

These are hard to photograph. Just doesn't do it justice...

Much prettier

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

A little tanning, while watching the sailing lessons. Quite a learning opportunity to navigate those little sail boats around all the boats in our bay. Not everyone is successful. Fun to watch.

Got a little snorkeling in to see the pretty fishes...

Just a lazy Sunday around the condo!

Dinner and a sporting event

We are starting to schedule our dinners around...

The VERY COMPETITIVE doubles play of these 4 seniors. they play every other night, and we have a great view of 3/4ers of the court.

They take several breaks to replenish fluids...

My theory, there's Mai Tai's in the water bottles.

Easter Egg Roll

Complete with easter dresses, candy, parents with video cameras and giggles...

All the little darlings all lined up along the wall that separates beach from lawn...

Notice the angle... we had a great view from our deck, as we ate homemade cinnamon rolls and a rum based Orange Juice drink... Island Life!

This girl was Jackie's favorite.

Had a HOPPY Easter...

Then went Snorkeling!

If you read yesterday's post, this is a reef squid, sadly, nothing from the Simpsons...

We Watched the Regatta

The 37th Annual Rolex Regatta was held in our back yard. The building right next to where we live is the home of the St Thomas Yacht Club, the hosts for the race...

Don't know much about yacht racing... they line up...

Try to get better wind...

We did our best to cheer on the winners. Even brought a picnic lunch down so we wouldn't miss anything...

Couldn't tell you who won, but we enjoyed it...once

the Views from our Point

We live on a bay. It is very pretty and nice to be right on the water.

But, we also live on a point that extends a mile or so into the Caribbean Sea... If you walk the point, it is a lot of uphill, but you get a great view of our bay...

And a great view if you reach the end of the point... The island with all the houses on it is St John.

Our Condo Reveal - Shows your Guestroom!

It's built into the lease that we have a cleaning woman come in twice a month. yesterday was the first time, and since the place shined so well, thought I would take the chance to show off the place...

Living area... Couch, Love seat and chair with ottoman.

Dining room table 4 chairs

Entertainment center... complete with lending library (newest book was 10 years old), a few DVD's and VHS tapes. I think people just left em). We do have cable TV, so I get my fix of Morning Joe while I do my post).

Master bedroom (looks a little like Marcia Brady decorated)

Master bath with Ralph Lauren towels.

Guest room (plenty of room for you)

You even will have your own bathroom

But when you visit, I get the room with the stuffed iguanas on the wall.

It's not home, but it certainly is better than a hotel for 6 months.

And plenty of room for company
