Crazy??? YES!!

We are indeed crazy!  We are living in another persons house, sitting on extremely uncomfortable furniture,  sleeping in a bed that is super uncomfortable and eating left over food from the campers kitchen refrigerators.  Are we happy??  YES! 

Everyday is refrigerator surprise day!  I invent what I can with what is available.  It is a total hassle to go on the ferry to the grocery store.  You just don't realize how lucky you all are to jump in a car, run to the grocery and get back before you food molds or goes bad. OK that really doesn't happen but it could.  We are 5 minutes from the ferry dock.  The ride to St Thomas is 8 minutes. The walk to the grocery is maybe 10 minutes.  There is a great selection of food and beverage at the Pueblo Grocery but the workers are on snail time.  If you are not a local you are definately put on the back burner.  You have to have, or aquire massive patients if you are to live here.  If you know me at all, you know that this may take some time.  I am never in a hurry but I do not know if I can tolorated lack of customer service.  The clerks can chat for 10 minutes, ignoring you while you wait in line.  It is crazy!!  For this reason alone I am happy to eat what ever the campers leave after their stay at the campground.  This is stuff that has not been opened (for the most part).  We get all kinds of meat, bread, butter, vegies, and of course alcohol can not be taken back with you so we have never had a more well stocked frig or liquor cabinet.  Mostly rum but we will get over it.  The other day we made the most amazing margaritas from scratch. Limes included. Fear not we are not withering away to nothing and after all this venting.....we are happy!

Beach day yesterday!  There was only one person checking in (because all other cottages are full)  so we grabbed our beach cooler, some beer and the towels and drove to Honeymoon beach.  The water was fab and the crowd was thin.  We hung out with a couple other couples that are staying at the camp.  We hang with the folks that are camping when we can, and for multiple reasons.  Mostly because they are so cool and nice but also so they can let us know what they are doing on their vacation. In doing this we gain knowledge of the islands, touristy things, foody joints, charters and all the other fun stuff.  We can pass this info on to other then since we have no time to explore this stuff right now.  It will slow down and we will get out.  Hurricane season is upon us so reservations are winding down for the summer.  August looks to be slower and we are closing a couple cottages down completely mid month and securing it with cables so they don't blow away.  Sound crazy??  Yes!  It is a different life style.  I have hang out the laundry every day.  9 rental units, tons of guests, a million sheets, pillow cases, matress pads, beach towels, bath towels & cleaning rags!  NO dryer.  I think back to my younger days when I complained about hanging out diapers every day.  That was a cake walk compared to this.  On top of that....The wind is so strong I almost died when I got body smacked by a beach towel. This is real.

If this all sounded like a giant complaint....it isn't!  Just wanting you all to know we love it and we are having a great time. We accept the challenges and change our ways. Going with the flow! Enjoy the pictures!!
