Recipe for a Perfect Caribbean Vacation

Image
By
Ingredients:

 1 awesome divemaster (Mac) who also happens to be a rock 'n roll drummer


 6 days of sunshine with 85 degree weather


countless palm trees
1 hotel swimming pool
1 poolside restaurant
3 beach chairs
3 Musketeers (John, Glo and me)

 Directions:

 1.  Wake up at 7:30 each morning.  Throw on swimsuit, and head down to hotel breakfast.  Grab a quick bite to eat before meeting Mac at the dock.

2.  Board Saffron, and sail for ten minutes to one of 365 diving sites off Grand Cayman island.

3.  Dive twice, seeing the most amazing things--turtles, eels, neon-colored fish, stingrays, jellyfish.  Be reminded that a greater being (than a Big Bang) created this world, both above the water and under it.
We found this unusual creature back on the boat :-)

 4.  Return to the hotel, walk directly to the pool, jump in.

5.  Hop five feet out of the pool, sit down at a table, and order lunch.  While lunch is being prepared, jump back in the pool.

 6.  Eat.

 7.  Head over to the beach chairs and sleep the afternoon away.






8.  Wake up.  

 9.  Shower.

10.  Eat dinner.
A newly renovated Hard Rock Cafe!  Good thing we went here our last night, because I would have been eating here EVERY night!
11.  Watch a movie.  
12.  Sleep.
13.  Repeat.

SURPRISE!!

By
When the pizza guy came to the door last night, here's what John saw: It took a few seconds for John to process who the pizza delivery man was, but when he did, he was incredibly happy (and couldn't stop saying "heeeeyyyyy....".  It was Jared Moran, John's best friend. And me, I just knelt down, right then and there, and began repenting of all the lies that I have told over the last four months, hiding this most amazing surprise :-)  I told Sarah the other day that I was glad to see the light at the end of the falsehood tunnel, because if I kept this up much longer, I was destined to end up in liars' hell... Jared ran the Air Force marathon with John last year.  It was his first marathon, and from what he told us, his last.  However, he called in June and said he was coming again, but I was supposed to keep it a surprise from John.  I'm not sure what changed his mind, but we sure are glad he did.  John hates runnings marathons alone, and ther...

Bragging Time

Since I know my beautiful daughter won't brag about herself, allow me to! The orchestra program at our local high school is pathetic.  The band?  Award winning.  The choirs?  Award winning.  The orchestra?  They take fifth out of five orchestras.....thanks for playing! After Johannah made it into the top orchestra this summer at Interlochen, she knew that there was no going back.  No going back to rehearsals that are all talking, and no rehearsing.  Performances that are embarrassing.  So, she checked into our local professional orchestra, the Nittany Valley Symphony. As luck would have it, they were holding open auditions for only four instruments, viola being one of them. Let me reiterate.  This is a professional orchestra, made up of adult performers, many of whom hold advance degrees in music. While the website said the auditions weren't until the middle of September, when Johannah called, she discovered that they were b...

The FIRST of the Best Days of My Life

By
I'm always amazed when people can answer the question, "What was the best day of your life?"  For me, I've never had a specific answer.  The typical response of "my wedding day" doesn't work for me, because in all honesty, our wedding day was pretty sad with no family in attendance.  The second most popular answer of "the day my child was born" only conjures up feelings of pain, misery and exhaustion for me.  Really, up to this point, the best day of my life is anytime my family is together, and we are laughing, and talking, and ... being together.  I guess if I could string all of those moments into one solitary day, that would be the best day of my life. Everything changed though on Tuesday, October 27, 2015.  In fact, I feel quite relieved now, knowing that I can answer the proverbial question successfully and succinctly, for on that day, Anneliese Margaret Kennedy joined our family, and there has never been a better day in my life.
