Jane... it hasn't snowed back home yet?? I LOVE snow.. the sidewalk shoveling, playing the old try to find the buried car game... and don't forget driving up and down the Schuykill... geez, did I even spell that right? I need to get back and re-learn everything.

And to think I was just sitting here thinking about actually moving back to the Philly area and leave this God forsaken, sunny, hot, air conditioned place they call Texas...

LOL

We had 17 days of soaking rain in December here in No. Calif. Never saw the sun once over the New Year's weekend. Very cold and wet. Tons of snow just up the hill in Lake Tahoe and Reno! Maybe I will head up there - I can hear the "ching - ching of the slot machines calling!

LOL denny! you forget, i don't live in kensington, i live in doylestown! it is magnificent here when it snows. and every one else's car's are dry in their 2-car garages. (we are too messy, can't even fit one in).

and i don't work...it isn't like i need to ever leave the house anyway!

Jane... don't forget your deer!! Too pretty!

Denny... your more than welcome to come my house and shovel! smile... really, anytime.

Laurie... don't go to Reno... we went to Vegas at "turkey time" and lost big time! lol Have a really GREAT time in San Pedro in May! Sure wish we could make it...

4 DAYS ibanole... LUCKY YOU!

Wow... an invite to come and shovel your snow.... you are way too kind. Let me figure out when I am free and I will call you. Hmmm don't seem to have your number... that's ok, don't give it to me, let me keep looking.

and Jane dear... I'm not from Kensington... I am from FISHTOWN, Girard exit off 95. I use to go sluming in Kensington... lol actually I use to slum in Fishtown also.

Hi JaneinPa...

Was kind of curious where you lived in Pa. and now I see Doylestown. Nice area! I live in the Pocono's myself and you are right we have not had much snow! They were talking a storm tomorrow but now it looks like it is going to pass right on by. My six year old is highly annoyed. When is your next trip to AC? We will be down Feb. 15 to March 2nd. It's been two years. Cannot wait! A funny story...our last trip we had been there only two days and having dinner at Fido's. I see my husband staring at someone across the room....it was someone he knew from his gym!! Neither knew the other would be there!!! Small world. It was my first time meeting him and I had to go to San Pedro to do it. 6 weeks and counting... Rhonda

hi rhonda! i have lived in PA all my life. my kids are right around yours, 5 & 7.

last week, hubby took them up to alpine to snowtube, it is near e. stoudsburg. is that near you? or we go to knoebel's in the summer. is that?

when we went to AC 8/00, we met a couple on the water taxi who had lived down the street from our old house. knew exactly where it was. yep. life is funny.

hope - interesting - the deer do not come in winter, only early spring & late fall. yesterday i took a great photo of a red-tailed hawk out front of my house.

Hi Jane,

Yes, Alpine is right here! Never been there though...isn't that typical! Right around the corner and have never been. Yes, I know Knoebles well although it's not too close for us about and 1 hour and a half. A great place for the kids! I see you said you don't get deer this time of year? I see them constantly here all year long. They eat all our shrubbery this time of year. I see you are trying for a party for the board in April. Wish we could make that one but we will be there earlier as stated. Staying at the Mayan Princess as we did before. Everyone was very nice to us there. Ok I need to get a life because I am addicted to this board!! Hey, do you know what restaurant is in the place where Rasta Pasta is? Is it an Italian one I hear? Do you know the name? How about Rasta Rythmns, what is there now? Can anyone tell me? Thanks ...Rhonda

Rhonda,
Much has happened to the Rasta world since your last visit.

Marilyn and Albert left San Pedro right before Hurricane Keith hit....moved to Placencia.

The empty building at the end of Front St. was taken over after the hurricane to house about 10 families that were left homeless.
A group from the Bahamas came in to help....and they partitioned off the building into separate rooms....upstairs and downstairs.
There was an unfortuante accident with a gas cookstove that started in the upstairs and the building was destroyed in the fire.


It sat for a long time until someone finally bought it and tore it down....to the ground.

Marilyn and Albert lost all they had in this last hurricane (Iris)....and unfortunately Albert took his life after this devastating event. Marilyn is now in Belize City last I heard.

One family should never have to endure this much heartache.

Sad...TOO sad....

Thank you for the info Sandshaker,

I had heard of the sad news regarding Albert and Marilyn. I remember meeting her a few times during our last stay and found her very nice. We had enjoyed eating there and wondered if there was another good restaurant at that location now.
Can't wait to return to SP....6 weeks... Rhonda
