We don't get there as often as I'd like, but now that our son is in college, perhaps we'll have more time to do so. Your blog was like a warm breeze drawing me down there again.

Just wanted to stop and say how much I enjoyed reading this, and I'm really surprised we haven't stumbled across each other's blogs before. I noticed you follow a few of the same writerly people that I follow! And who doesn't love good old Stephen?? I loved everything you said in the last paragraph. Oh, so true! Happy Day to you!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381261963391055840.post-37462988889879379612012-11-21T21:20:17.976-08:002012-11-21T21:20:17.976-08:00>> . . . the rat turns and runs back behind ...<i>>> . . . the rat turns and runs back behind the Coke machine he came out from.</i><br /><br />Yeah, a lot of rats do coke.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Maybe you'll come back to the States, but you will always keep your experiences you've had in St. Croix, in your heart. <br /><br />And, I would have caused a scene in Kmart no blue light special could ever rival, at the sight of a rat! You stayed calm and for that, you are a rock star in my book. <br /><br />Years ago, I had an "experience" with a rat while staying at a surf and board, down in Puerto Rico. I was the only girl staying there at the time, and from what I understand, they still talk about the loco gringa who lost her mind over seeing a "little" rat in the kitchen.
