When you sleep here with
the windows open you never know what you are going hear. At 1:00 am I was woke
up by someone’s alarm clock. Then the person kept hitting the snooze button and
woke me up three more times. Then at 2:30 am I was woke up to a chainsaw. A
tree fell across the telephone line and was blocking the street and apparently
needed to clean it at 2:30 am. I think it is a dead end street with just a few
houses. Brooke left this morning to spend the day with her Mom and Dad. Darren,
Wyatt, Harper, and I went down town and walked on the walkway along the water
where there are a lot of restaurants and shops, also a lot of street vendors.
We were back home by 11:30 am. Time for Wyatt to have lunch and go down for a
nap. A little later this afternoon Darren and I both took a short nap. Late
afternoon I called Cheri to see what she was up to today. Yep she has been
shopping again. After Brooke got home Darren and I went downtown to get tacos
to bring back for dinner but the place he want to go was closed. So we came
back home and ordered pizza from Domino’s. After dinner it was time for a drink
and a game of Skip Bo which Brooke won. We got to see a really nice sunset this
evening but the pictures don’t do it Justice.

I was awake before 6:00 am
but laid in bed until after 7:00 am before I rolled out. Not a lot going on
today. Darren was on the phone must of the day working. Brooke was busy taking
care of Wyatt. Chris and Sheryl came over and then went to look at some housing
as they want to move here also. So I tagged along, we checked a couple of
places and the last one we looked at they really liked. They were going to look
at another one in the same complex later this afternoon. This evening we went
downtown for dinner at Pancho’s Takos. It is a place that has a 4 ½ star
rating. We tried different types of tacos. Before we got done eating Wyatt began
fussing so as soon as I got done eating I took him outside and walked up and
down the street which he really liked. His head was moving back and forth
trying to take everything in. The sunset was cancelled again this evening do to
a rain storm off the coast. We did have a good lighting display. We played a
game of Skip Bo which Darren won, he also won the game we played last night.

I had the alarm set for
4:45 am but was up at 4:00 am as I was wide awake. Brooke and Wyatt came out
before Darren and I left at 5:30 am. We picked up Christ at 6:00 am and headed
to the boat dock to do our deep sea fishing. We left the dock at 6:30 am in the
dark. We got to see the sunrise which was gorgeous. We traveled for an hour
before we got to the fishing grounds. The weather was great with 2 to 3 foot
swales, just a perfect day. This is the first time I have done any deep sea
fishing the way they do it here. They had seven lines in the waster as we
trolled. Whenever a fish gets hooked who ever turn it is gets in the captain
chair to reel in the fish. Anyway that was what I was told as we never even got
bite in the six hours we were out. We were disappointed but was still a nice
time with Darren and Chris. It was near 2:00 pm when we got back to Darren and
Brooke’s. Brooke’s mother Sheryl was there helping Brooke get bags unpacked and
put away. This evening all seven went out for dinner at Ah Caramba (The Lobster
House). Check out the pictures and view from the restaurant. We got back home
in time for the sunset, but is raining right now. Yep sunset canceled this
evening.

I was up at 4:45 am to get
ready to leave for our fishing trip at 5:30 am and pick up Chris at 6:00 am. We
couldn’t find where we were supposed to go and did a lot of driving around and
ask people and everyone told us something different. So we were late getting
there and then was told by the Charter Company that our fishing trip was booked
for next Monday. They said that we could still go but would to wait for a boat
and crew. So we decide to cancel for today and go tomorrow. It was probably a
good thing anyway as a painter was coming to do painting today and Darren
really needed to be here for that. Chris and Sheryl came over late morning. To
get away from the paint smells the owner let us go up to the roof top patio for
the day. Darren wants to see about using it on a regular bases. No time for
cooking so we ordered in pizza from Domino’s. After the Painter left Darren,
Brooke, and Wyatt made trip to Wal-Mart. I stayed with Harper. We had leftover
pizza for supper. No sunset this evening as it is raining.

Today is my lovely wife’s
birthday. So sweet heart have a great day, wish I could be there to celebrate
with you. We will have to have a date night when I get back. It was near 7:30
am when I got out of bed. I was awake at 5:00 am but see any reason to get that
early. Darren fixed us scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then I worked the rest of
the day on the patio and finished with that project just before Brooke and
Wyatt arrived. Darren spent most of the day on the computer working from home
which is the way he will be doing his work from now on. He took a break to go
down to the meat market to get some chicken breast and then to the open air
market for vegetables and fruit. The plumber was here this afternoon to repair
the leak at the kitchen sink and replace the wax ring under the toilet which
was leaking. Brooke said that Wyatt was really good for the flight down and
even napped for about 45 minutes. Sandwiches and salad for supper. I am going
to bed early as we have to leave here 5:30 am to pick up Chris for our day of
deep sea fishing. Didn't get to see a sunset last night as was cloudy and raining.
