Well...Sunday and another weekend at work.....I'd sure like to be fishing today...the Mahi are beginning to pick up in numbers and in size....I saw a nice bull Mahi @ the SBM yesterday in a cooler that probably weighed about 25-30 lbs....I'm now being "guided" by our future daughter-in-law as to keeping them informed by posting more often....guess she has me wrapped around that little finger just like DD does!
So Sharmon....sister dear if you're reading this just know you need to thank Sarah!
:)
Speaking of Sarah.....she should be seeing David Lewis in about 4 weeks as he'll be in on R&R for about 3 weeks....little does he realize just how much WORK he's in for ....rearranging furniture as Sarah tries to decide where she wants what and no....I changed my mind it looked better WAY over there where it was in the first place.....as David has some prior experience helping Mom (as do all of the Galloway menfolk) rearrange and move things around....IT'S a DISEASE ...moving stuff around....my wife says so...therefore it MUST be true....
I'm in the beginning stage of preparations for our annual VP pilgrimage...check out the Arthur family's new web site www.villagehotel.com
We all enjoy our time there so peaceful and it just feels like going to see family as Bob & Patti and Jamie and all the grandkids just are so glad to see us back!
This year a dear friend and I will be cooking a Mexican fiesta dinner while we're there....last year we did a Texas style BBQ and it was a SMASH!......
To bad our children won't be there! When I get some additional information/instruction from the family geeks as to how to load pictures in with the blog I'll begin doing so....we have some GREAT shots from Scuba Santa...the Parade of lights and some really devine sunsets from here as well as other locales....gonna dash off and see what I can fix for supper!
Love to all

Kwaj just is going through some major evolutions and is not as "pleasant" as in the past....many folks have lost their primary focus and are plain disgruntled with "happenings"....any change is uncomfortable...but MAJOR changes can be outright painful....folks around here are more concerned with NOT knowing anything than knowing what is actually occuring....as time progresses it will improve....this is not the first time Kwaj has gone through growing pains and it won't be the last....more later....til then....CB&L
