September 2012

Ah September - we were gone exactly half the month. We started with a birthday celebration for Nathan, and ended with a birthday celebration for Jim. In between - 2 visits to see Sami and Mel in Florida, and a week vacationing in Aruba with Jen and Tom. Ah - September!

Florida visit #1 - Sami, Willie, Jim and Mel all pose for the camera.

Goats, burrowing owls, ancient Indian cave drawings and pelicans plus the beautiful Caribbean, lunch and dinners seaside and great companions - the recipe for a relaxing Aruba trip.

Enjoying a seaside lunch--fresh catch of the day. A pelican, a regular visitor we were told, stopped by our table.

One of Aruba's newest power sources complete with local free range goats at the base.

Aruba's national bird, the burrowing owl or "choco."

Here's Mel. Sami and Jim out side the "new" house.

One more year for Jimbo...20 yr old porto,  Greek blanket and GQ satchel might help distract from the next big one.
