Surfs up!

No, we didn't go surfing. But we could have. We went to the beach this weekend with some friends and waves were probably 8 feet at times. It was a perfect sunny day and it was especially unusual for this beach (Baie Rouge) because it is usually very calm. It was a lot of fun swimming and getting toppled by the waves and we spent a bit more time in the water than we usually do.




Later on that night Julia and I went to "Wine and Cheese Gala" at Dr. Acheley's home. It was a pretty nice event. She has a large piece of property on the bay and there were several tables spread out throughout the property with wines from different countries. There was also catered hor d'ouvres. There was a grammy nominated guitarist playing and a silent auction as well. Julia and I won (bought) 2 tickets for zip-lining on the island which we planned to use when Julia's friends come down for their honeymoon.

What a Week!

Solutions, the company that manages our apartment, told us that we did not have to move. They said that they didn't know where the leak was but that a plumber was going to put in new pipes bypassing it. After a little nagging, which I have become quite used to, they finally got the plumber out and with in two days....we had water.
Julia baked me a pizza that night (DiGiorno's---not delivery). It was a spinach, mushroom and cardboard pizza. It was a novel creation.



Later on that night, while at a friends, I got a call urging me to come home because we suddenly had a new pet. Meet Max. He is a 3inch arthropod that did not know how to swim very well.





It sure got Julia cleaning though....I think she scrubbed out all the cabinets.....
