Happy Mother's Day

I hope all you mothers had a very nice Mother's Day. I certainly did. This morning I went to the pool for awhile. It was very hot, even the water wasn't refreshing. I cleaned up, did a few things around the apartment, and then treated myself to lunch at the Blue Water Grill.

I had a really yummy salad and enjoyed a great view of the beach and the water.

I topped lunch off with ice cream from Manelly's and even tried a new flavor.

In the course of the day, I talked with both of my sons and my mother. I had some beautiful cards and have been told to look for more in the mail. Hmm.... I sent a batch of photos to Sam's to have them printed. With as many pictures as I'm taking, it seems like a good idea to go ahead and have them printed in groups. Otherwise it will break the bank if I have them all printed at one time. It will be fun to have them waiting for me when I get home.

This evening I had dinner with some friends. We ate at Red Ginger, the restaurant at The Phoenix resort. We had tapas (cheese empanadas, coconut shrimp, fried zuchini strips, bucetta with fresh tomatoes, proscuitto and cantelope) and sangria with incredible creme brulee - mango, pineapple and coconut - for dessert.

This will be a busy week at Holy Cross. We have a large group of teachers from Gainsville State in Georgia coming in tomorrow. I'll spend most of the morning with their orientation. We are out of school at noon tomorrow because there is an ecumenical worship service in the early afternoon to begin Teacher Appreciation Week. I understand that the town does several things for all the teachers on the island. We'll see what is ahead.
