Before we moved to Nassau, I read a book called An Embarrassment of Mangoes. It was about a couple who traveled around the Caribbean on a boat for quite some time (it was at least a year, I think). Anyway, they got to one point in the year and talked about how there were mangoes everywhere. Well, we are to that point in the year here. There are three mango trees in our yard and they are all covered in fruit.

Lately I’ve been hearing complaints from people that I don’t post as often as I used to. The truth is, there’s just been nothing exciting going on. I know you all think I sit on the beach drinking daiquiris all day, but that’s unfortunately not the case. For the most part, my days consist of the same things: get up, go to work, go to gym, come home, play with dog, eat dinner, go to bed. The exception to that is Wednesdays, which is when I have my weekly meeting/luncheon with the quilting guild. And today’s meeting, you’ll be glad to know, brings me to a story.
Shawn got some good news a few weeks ago!

I’m trying to focus on the happy things this morning:
–Cable and internet are up and running at home. I can get back to knowing what people are talking about when they bring up what happened during Obama’s latest speech (because there’s always something, right?).
There may be about a million things that I don’t like about our current apartment, but the one thing I love is our proximity to the Foggy Bottom Farmers’ Market. This week’s bounty:
Our first 2 1/2 weeks back in the US have basically been a blur. We’ve done a lot of driving - our families live about 2 hours apart, in the same state, but different time zones (thank you, Indiana!). And we’ve done some serious work on stimulating the economy - purchasing a new car, a fancy camera, and a laptop.
