I'd love to offer, but we have a DVR that I don't know if we can transfer from. Sounds like Charlie's da man!

For anyone planning on recording this, I went to program it and noticed that it was two one-hour episodes in a row so don't forget to record both episodes!

Other than the really tough luck I am so JEALOUS. I want a trip to STJ! And a hat! And a Hoodie! What beach is that?

I should probably stop drinking the pinot now.

When Ruth gets this DVD she better have a whole box of tissues ready. Quite a tear jerker!

Wow,I missed the show tonight. Ironically, I was working at an event for the International AIDS Candleight Memorial here in Baton Rouge, LA. I am a case manager for people with HIV/AIDS and we had a community 3 on 3 basketball tournament and candlelight vigil to create awareness for HIV/AIDS & to honor those who are lost by the disease. Would like to find out more about Camp Heartland for my clients.

Would love to see the show--I love St. John as well as hold a special place for those infected & affected by HIV/AIDS. Peace!

The mom was wearing a "Beaches of St. John" t-shirt at the end.

Thanks for giving us the heads-up, Ruth!

That was such a great episode - anyone know the yacht they were on?

Ruth - any chance the hats will be available on your website?

Posted: **Mon May 21, 2007 6:56 pm**

The group stayed on the Yacht Irie. I met the Captain and First Mate (Robert and Katia?) in the store.

I'll try to put the hats on the web site in the next few days, time permitting!

I'm posting this for Ruth

Last night her neice in the States was watching Extreme Home Makeover and had no idea that Ruth was watching the show, too. Ruth asked me if I'd post the picture for her, but the e-mail is so cute that I'm posting an excerpt from it as well. Here are the photo & e-mail from Ruth's neice, Mairead Ernst:

Hi Aunt Ruth,

I just wanted to write you a note that a hat from your store was on tonight's Extreme Home Makeover on ABC! I saw the bottom of the logo and kept waiting for a zoomed out shot of the woman wearing it to be sure, and then I saw it was your store after all and I started freaking out. How cool! Anyway, just wanted to let you know, though maybe I won't be the only one to mention it?

Hope this gets to you,
Mairead

P.S. Here's a photo of our TV with the featured hat! It's not very good, but still, evidence.
