Blackpool

Where am I? Yes Blackpool England is the correct answer. Blackpool is on the coast of England and yes I can see the water from where I am sitting it is not the Caribbean. I find Blackpool to be gray, cold and windy which is a big change for me. I do have to wear tights, jackets and wraps which is a climate I am not used to and I have to get a comfortable with.
I have been watching so much dancing and have taken so many photos it is unbelievable like 2500 or more. I must say that for the standard style of dance which is foxtrot, waltz, tango, quick step the girls are wearing ruffles not a little but a lot of ruffles and we are seeing more feathers. Latin brings to the floor lots of skirts and this I must confess makes me very happy. I will be here in England until Saturday and back to Florida for 2 days and then keep moving south to the DR until the kids finish school June 16.
I am really missing Dougie and the kids and can't wait to see them and hang out with them soon. Gotta run.

Cinco De Mayo

Happy Monday!! We are on holiday from school and the community is celebrating Cinco De Mayo lots of buses with loads of people at the beach and much to much parting for my taste. We are preparing for Doug and Nan to arrive today. The kids are so excited to see Doug they can't stop asking how much longer. I have not seen my mom in such a long time it will be great to see her and spend time together. The past 2 days have been beautiful and the winds feel great, this is one plus to living in the Caribbean.
I know I did not mention that our butler had an accident in our jeep, this was the day before I left for Las Vegas and I am still with out a car things like this are frustrating in this country small things take so long, I am tired of rental cars and just to let you know I am on my 6th car, all the rest except one or maybe 2 broke down while I was driving them and I had to exchange for others. I must admit this place sometimes makes me loco.
Mariah is having a great time learning to ride horses she had a 2 hour lesson yesterday and was so impressed with herself that she can gallop and cantor what a big girl.
Drew enjoyed the day on the beach with friends and had a great time on a skate board ramp with his rip stick.
I am off to get a few things from the store and take the kids for lunch.

Its MAY !!

Its raining for the second day. I am enjoying the rain today, I like the break in the weather to cool things off a bit. Mariah has a fever so we are staying in and just taking it easy. I have been away from my Durham home for 6 plus weeks and I have forgotten what it looks and feels like.
We have had a great month with only a few issues, Mariah got a 2 inch piece of wood in her foot and had to go to the doctor to have it removed. Drew had a crash on his rip stick and had scrapes on his hands, elbow and knee. Drew also have some funky rash that we are trying to clear so I have had lots of practice at being the nurse. Doug will arrive on Monday after being away for a long time and the kids are so excited. Mariah will turn 6 next week, Mary 7. We are planning a party for May 10. The report cards were excellent and both kids continue to thrive. I have been busy with dance wear and interior curtains.
Will write more later have to give medicine.
