Lots of Planning

Hi all, I took a little break from blogging and even updating my website.
Have lots going on and just didn’t have the umph to take the time to do updating.

We will be first time grandparents any day now. We love the kids but they are currently living with us….and it is a bit more difficult than any thought it would be. Have had other personal stuff going on as well and most is starting to wind down so I have a bit more spirit today than have had for a while.

We are looking to make a return to the islands in late May 2009. Hope I can survive that long…LOL. It is looking as if we will go to the island with a different set of friends this year. This couple is very experienced at travel to ST Maarten so would be more of someone to eat dinner with or have cocktails with in the evening. Perfect for us, allowing us lots of time to ourselves as well as some company. Both couples have started small businesses so we will spend part of our time working on our businesses as well as some time soaking up the sun.

Our business is getting off the ground, had a meeting with a business owner who has an on island shop but lives in Dallas TX. Flew down and spent a couple of hours with him. He likes my product and is coming to KC in October to view and make a decision on his interest level. All looks positive at this point.

We also have our yearly Pirate (don’t read this part Mary) and Wenches party. It will be October 25th. This is a hoot but takes some planning and costuming on our part. This year I have decided that part of the theme is everyone will be tattooed, this could be either a temporary or permanent or there is a third option…..a sharpie tattoo…
This will be a fun one and will be lots more coming on the party front.
