March 2nd-- Today We have breakfast at Maho Bay Pavillion......I continue priming sections of the railing.....I've mention to Bob, maybe a million times that this is the worst pressure treated pine I've seen....It should NEVER have been purchased......Graham hand selected it....but I continue to b!t@h about it......Graham said it was the best pine Paradise lumber had......I think it should have been returned....Bob should have purchased it from M.S.I (building supply on St Thomas) .......I continue to b!t@h......
Our days are numbered here on St John.....I can't wait to see my cats, the dog, (yes, the dog that peed on my hung out, fresh air dried, washed sheets) but, especially my girl Fluff....
Tonight We eat at Cafe Concordia....the three cats that live here, I absolutely adore...This is a great place...the food....the views....heaven on earth...

March 5th--Today We close up Bo Atabey and say goodbye....We've come so far in the past two months we've been here, but not far enough....the house isn't finished enough to be rented out....now what!!??
Bob heads down the hill to tie up loose ends at Voyages, he feeds Whiny and tells her good~bye, Cliff says he will take good care of her.......
We are off to Deli Grotto for breakfast and pick up sandwiches to eat when We are at Miami airport, We will have a four hour wait there and will touch down at Bradley airport sometime after midnight this will be a very L~O~N~G day......no multi~grain bread this trip, there is absolutely NO room in any of the suitcases......
We are at St Thomas airport and ALL our luggage is overweight....We already knew this.....
We are in line (when ALL electronics should have been turned off) and Bob's cell phone rings....it is Dr. Foster with more bad news.....Fluffy isn't doing any better...he continues.......
she has brain damage and IS blind.........
I keep repeating to myself what he said 'If this were you or I, We would be in a nursing home the rest of our life hooked up to intravenous'......This isn't the way my girl should spend the rest of her life.......
Now I am crying.....I'm trying to hold back the tears....This is NOT how I pictured our home coming........having to euthanize her ......
We go through security and get pulled over.....We have large bars of 'Sunfeather' bay rum and patchouli soap packed... and these idiots think that they are candles and WHAT !!?? We are going to blow up the plane with bay rum and patchouli soap ??????......please, get REAL!!!!
Ryan is employed by B.M.W...so....being the proud Mom that I am.... I take pictures for him.....even if he is NOT impressed.....
