Catch Up

Lisa here. As we prepare for our busiest season blogging has unfortunately dropped to the bottom of our priority list. I would post lots of pictures of my trip back to PA and my brand-new lovely twin nieces - but on my flight back my camera was stolen out of my checked baggage. Silly me to put it in my checked baggage but I was trying to fit all of the bootie and wasn't thinking straight. Mark is not very happy as this is our 2nd camera stolen. I left one in the private hotel car on our trip to Vietnam and apparently the private hotel drivers are not as honest as the hotel claims. So - no pictures for a while I'm afraid. Not until I can convince Mark that I am trustworthy enough to own a camera!

Here are some quick catch ups of our recent activity in bullet form.

Lisa's trip back to the US was successful. The distribution center for the Holiday season is getting there. We are about half way through packing the 4,500 boxes.

Emily had a wonderful Halloween but wouldn't let her embarassing Parents go with her this year. She went to her friends "gated community" where there was a 40 minute car line at security of Parents with kids trying to get in to trick or treat. Needless to say she had a great time. She was Hermione again and was thankful for her cloak because believe it or not...

It's been cold here! We have been suffering temperatures in the mid-70s and the ocean and wind have been out of control! No sitting out on the back patio - too winding plus the risk of getting a wave soaking. We can't see through our back windows because of all the salt.

Mark and I had a late Halloween night at Crazy Johnny's. There were lots of costumes and even though we weren't dressed up we enjoyed ourselves. We haven't been out taht late in years!

Emily is starting to do some work for the Proud Paws organization. They are a great group of people and are really enjoying Emily's ideas and particpation.
