The Whaleless Weekend!

To break into May, I had quite a weekend. To lead into it, Dan came back for his birthday! Wow I cant believe we are 20 already. Had a great dinner at Tuckers Point with Auntie Patti, Uncle Thad and the Birthday Boy. It came out over dinner that I was in cadets and I now have the nickname GI JANE. Which was yelled out throughout Friday Night at Dockies. Thanks boys!

I did the end to end walk on Saturday, which for those of you who are not familiar, is where you walk from one of Bermuda to the other, for a total of 24 miles! Auntie Barb, Mum and I started at 7.30 and finished at 1.30. 6 hours for 24 miles isn't that bad. Mind you Barbie does keep a pretty mean pace. The second I crossed the finish line and stopped walking, every muscle in my body shut down. I now have a grand collection of blisters on my feet that are oh so attractive.

I was then up first thing in the morning on Sunday to go whale watching on the Jolly Roger. It was quite an event, but unfortunately the closest thing I saw to a whale was about 2 dozen flying fish. We ventured all the way out to Challenger Bank, where the boys thought it smart to start fishing. A 4 hour trip turned in to quite the adventure! It was cut short once 3 or 4 people started to get sea sick, as the swells got progressively larger throughout the afternoon. Needless to say I was a little fed up by the end of the trip.

Whenever Mondays roll around, no one is ever excited to head back to the office and get work done. This Monday was especially hard. Taylor and Alexis Bean lost their mother, Tammy. My prayers are with them. We have to keep our heads up and remember that there is a time for all of us, we will reunite again when it is time. There is another angel watching over us, rest in peace.

I am signing out to enjoy another Bermudaful day on my front lawn, with A Thousand Splendid Suns, and a black and coke. Until next time!
