Our kids love the catholic school they go to and my daughter is moving on to St. Thomas in the fall. Since they are all doing well its hard to justify moving them to suit my own desire to be on the lake full time.

I took a ride up yesterday only to find my water pump frozen solid. Had I waited another day I am sure it would have been thawed back out with this 50+ degree weather. We towed it to Fay's and Supreme Marine took it away. I will be back in the water in a week or two when the work at the house is done, but am going to keep it winterized until the day I need it.

We were also sad when you finalized the real estate deal. God know I did everything in my power to discourage the perspective buyers from wanting to stay when they spent the week at your place...played loud heavy metal music through the outside speaker system, encouraged Niki the German Shepard to "relieve" himself on your beach while they were trying to enjoy it, hung underware and other laundry from tree branches between our homes, even staged loud screaming arguments with the wife....wait, those were real...ok, forget that last one. All for naught.... Island life is all about comeraderie and helping out your neighbor...calling from the mainland to see if anything is needed,rescuing an out-of-gas boat, etc. If the new folks are 1/2 of what you guys were, I guess we'll be ok! :-) Know that you'll always be welcome...we can harass the new folks together!
