My Island Birthday

Somehow I'm lucky enough to celebrate another year of island life. Next year my warm Calvin-filled-water days, my mermaid days, my cheering-Andrew-from-the-sideline days will be memories. This year I have a lot to celebrate.

Birthday dinner at the Beach House.






My friend Channi made one of my favorite things: homemade coconut cupcakes

Love!

Happy New Year

We rang it in with family and snow and fireworks over the lake











and stayed home a little longer to rest...

A happy, most merry winter wonderland...

Winter Moments

At the Christmas play




Calvin was one of the Whos of Whoville who helped the Grinche's heart grow


can you see him jingling a bell in there?


Sonali and Hannah - two of my knitting students


steel drums played the Christmas carols


many loaves of braid bread


and snowflake cookies


Happy December!
