For those who don't believe in miracles, listen up
Yo troops....at ease. As was reported on most major networks, yours truely and his wifemate were not going to visit this year due to new girl grandbaby. She and her big 5 1/2 year old brother live in Santa Cruz. Thats about as far away as they can get from Va and still be in the lower 48. Sandie went out in May when she was born and I got to meet her in July and we just returned from Cal two weeks ago so we have had our fix satisfied. The original plan was to go for Christmas. Can we say skyhigh airfare and an overload of grandparents,aunts etc. But I digress. This past Sunday we were having a meeting at a local winery and guess who steps through the door. DC Photo and her husband. Had not seen them since last year on St John. We chatted and met there new dog. Told them we were a no go and then as my Sandie was walking away I begged Sandy and Mel,Mrs and Mr DC Photo, to see if they could take a stab at changing her mind. I did not hear what was said but two days later as we were driving she says..."now don't get excited but see if you can get us a good deal to St John." I almost wet myself. Well that certainly changed the boy's outlook.It seems that Mel is the closer of the century. So a hunting we did go for airfare, lodging , car etc. All is about finished except the villa. But we will find one with the help of Donald Schnell and his trusty sidekick Eric...Please inform the Beach Bar to ramp up Pain Killer stock piles...God bless..Bill

Last Sunday we decided to take a ride out in the Country a little bit and visit a Winery we have not been to yet. I can't believe we run into Bill and Sandie. It was a lot of fun seeing them, since they missed the Forum Party the night before. Glad Sandie decided to come to St. John this year. We are looking forward to seeing them soon.
