Still here and warm

Well, I am looking at the 10 day forecast in Chicago and I am thinking I could use a bit more sun before heading back. More show showers and garbage. But not here. Here it's 79 and partly cloudy every day.

The winds are a bit strong and so we are just going to stick around St. Maarten instead of trekking down to St. Barth's. No need to bang into the wind for 12 miles.

Alright, well I don't think that stories of lounging and reading and sunning and swimming are all too interesting so I'll leave you here. Oh we did take my dad's new cat swimming yesterday to teach her hot to get back onto the boat. The first try she just threw herself against the boat (just so you know my dad and I were in the water in case something happened. After she tried to launch herself on the edge of the boat we put her on a bumper that is covered with netting. She could easily attach herself to that and then we pulled her up. We made her go one more time to see if she would go for the mesh covered bumper and she did right away which is good. So baby mismo can swim and knows what to do if she falls in. See I'm working here.
