What a ride….
•
I just got off the water taxi from our island to the main island. The wind was blowing around 40–50 miles an hour, and the sky was turning dark. You’d think that growing up in Oklahoma would’ve given me the sense to head back home and wait it out. But…

Father’s Day
•
My kids were so sweet today. I woke up to them coming in my room with toast. Mom was still dragging (no I dont mean dressing up in some crazy clothes) and trying to get over the island virus. She promised she did not touch any of the food. I…

Last one in is a rotten egg.
•
Angie was up with Braden most of the night last night. His fever reached 103 several times and she gave him more medicine and made him take 2 showers during the night. As you know, we do not have any hot water, but he said the showers made him feel…
