I will be with my family for Christmas, but then am leaving for Mexico. come back in January for two weeks to wrap things up... and then it's Mexico full time for me. I'm excited! It's beautiful and warm there...and my love is there. But I'm also sad for leaving my family behind. I will visit them often though. Have a great holiday!

I got enough of them at Thanksgiving that I'm not making the trip again until Mother's Day. Just so we are on the same page, my mother is very old and has lost her mind. Spending half a week there is just too much. It's draining. But my dad doesn't want to put her in a home. If it were up to me, she'd be there already. Does that make me a bad person? I dunno. But you spend 8-hours in a room with someone who has lost their mind and tell me if you wouldn't put them in a home.<br /><br />For what it's worth, Merry Christmas. And I wish I was on a cruise instead of shivering in Utah.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381261963391055840.post-6696544254147742382011-12-21T14:44:40.760-08:002011-12-21T14:44:40.760-08:00Alex - The Mocko Jumbies are incredible.

Maybe one day I can get some video.I don't know how they walk around let alone dance.You should see them move through the crowds on the dock.<br /><br />DL- probably. We are not a big Cruise destination. I'm on St.Croix. St. Thomas, due north of us is the bigger stop. We are known for our oil refinery.
