There is nothing like the sound of waves crashing on the beach. We miss that sound but it's good to be home. We had a wonderful vacation and feel refreshed. We came home to brutal temperatures, literally went from +29 C to -29 C in one day....but being reunited with Cooper made us forget the cold temperatures. Oh, what a sight when we picked him up. He was freshly bathed and looked beautiful. He gave us enough kisses to last a lifetime! He had a grand time at Camp Talemaker.
So, life is back to normal for all three of us. It doesn't take long to get back to the good old routines of the day to day life. I went back to the gym Saturday and today and more of it this week. Russell goes back tomorrow. Unlike me, he likes to start or restart things on a Monday....Today, we went back to the provincial park for a nice walk in the forest. I must say that I do prefer to walk on the beach with my bare feet but today's walk was nice nonetheless.
Back to our trip. We spent the last few days doing more of the same. I'm trying to remember exactly what we did but it seems a blur already. One thing that we did while in Barbados was meet a friend of Russell's from high school, Susan, who happened to be in Barbados while we were there. He hadn't seen her in 15 years. It was nice to catch up over a few drinks while watching the Redmen play. In case you wonder who the Redmen are, well, the lead singer is a Willie Nelson look alike - singer by night...scuba instructor by day - his boat's name is Scotch and Soda. He is native from Barbados, 70 years old, and has been playing at the Southern Palms Hotel for as long as we can remember. Always on a Monday night. It is always a fun night and there is lots of dancing going on. We even danced! All in all, a great trip, a great way to spend Russell's 60th birthday (he doesn't look a day older by the way) and we already look forward to planning the Winter 2016 getaway.
Here we are, the last week of February. This month has been terribly cold for most Canadians but believe me, I really have a feeling that March will be kind to us.....I leave you with a few pictures from our trip. Have a great week everyone!
