May News

Hi you guys,
Not much news here, but just wanted to touch base. The only real news is that there was a BIG drug bust here last Sunday. they arrested at least 7 people. The FBI, Customs, border patrol, etc, etc. were all in on it complete with two helicopters here in Coral Bay. They were distributing here and had stashes for the States. One of the guys was the dive instructor at Low Key where the boys took dive lessons. We have known him for years. He was caught selling to an undercover officer. He's on a tether now and probably "toast".
Worked on the day of the running of the Kentucky Derby. the ladies wear hats that they have made and/or decorated with whatever they can find. really some interesting concoctions. Moe, owner of Skinny's, takes everyone's bets at the window at our little post office. Everyone gets mint julips. A good time.
Some new friends came for lunch today and invited us out to Cruz Bay tomorrow night for dinner and a movie. should be fun.
Finally we have rain. We have been so dry!! The birds have been attacking my tomato plants just to get water.
The picture of the tortoise is just because I thought he was so cute. I have been taking care of a friend's plants while she is off island and she asked me to feed "Monsieur Tortoise".
