Another beautiful day in paradise. The wind is still blowing harder than is usual, so I'm told, but it's a nice sunny day with quite a rough surf. It knocked me over yesterday, then again as I was trying to get back up. Being the graceful person that I am, my legs were thrown in every direction and I came up laughing so hard, that I only drew more attention to myself. Milo was mortified. Most of the people, but not all of them, are our age or older (like Milo LOL). I think they were jealous that I was even out in those waves.
Last night we met one of Milos coworkers, Desiree. She is a delightful woman with a quick smile. She lives in Barbados and works with all of the governments of the eastern Caribbean in some capacity. I will get more info about her later. Today they are at a meeting with another coworker, Simon, and are visiting the offices of the Eastern Caribbean states. I have several hours to myself so of course, i am reading on the beach. The iPad is the greatest travel instrument ever. I have 6 books downloaded and just waiting for me. Facebook, email, Internet all at my finger tips.
I almost forgot, let me tell you about our dinner experience last night. We went to the high end restaurant with Desiree last night, here at the hotel. We were given a sofa and chairs vignette in the waiting area. Complimentary glass of champagne ( a weakness of mine) and the menu were presented. We chose a first course from one side of the menu and an entree from the other. Milo asked me to pick the wine. We stayed in that little area, which was so comfy and pretty, until Our meal was ready. We were escorted to a table surrounded by fun art and sheer white curtains on red walls. Very nice. Our dinner was truly superb, wine was excellent and when all was said and done, we were there for 3 hours. We were told that is their practice, to make a full evening of it. There were only 2 other tables of diners so they wanted us to take our time. Milo says it was a unique dining experience that we will remember forever. I think it was nice that Desiree was with us, or we would have run out of things to talk about for 3hours. Yes, it is possible,that i could run out of things to talk about.
We are still unable to send emails, but we are receiving them.
Well, I really need to get back to doing nothing. I am the luckiest person right now and wish all my family and friends were here with me.

How I fill my days
- Travel has become a regular part of our lives, and with the help of xanax, I love it!
- I like to cook and try new recipes when the urge strikes. Milo often chips in when I let him know he is in the mood to help as well.
- On occasion I still do event planning for local non-profit organizations, but I don't actively seak those jobs.
- Milo started Insurance Solutions Group over 4 years ago and the growth of that business keeps me busy with marketing, accounting and general operations.
- Kickboxing is my excercise of choice. I tried Jazzercise, but couldn't get my arms and legs to move at the same time without someone getting hurt.
- I enjoy scrapbooking during the winter evenings when I don't want to brave the cold
- Since I have a difficult time sitting still, I like to crochet in front of the TV
- I am a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. It is my passion and my purpose.
FUN FACTS
On her blog, my niece listed 100 things about herself from a suggestion by a girlfriend. Milo wanted to know if I would do the same. He thought it was a good idea if I would mention him as number one. To that end, I thought Fun Facts would be more appropriate. Who knows how many I'll come up with.
Fun Facts...the saga begins
- 1) I was born in Kenmore NY on March 25, 1952. I considered not showing my birth year, but decided I was pleased to be alive, so why not?
- 2) I have a great son, Scott David Slater and my life basically revolves around him much to his dismay.
- 3) I am married to the love of my life, Milo Pearson III, yes, he's the third. (one of those fun facts.)
- 4) I hesitated to mention that I have been married before, because of the stigma attached, but our history makes us who we are today. Both are good men and while I am happy to call them "ex"s", I am also happy that they are still a part of my life.
- 5) In 1970, I was the first female limo driver/tour guide in Niagara Falls NY. At that time, it was my contribution to women's lib. others were burning their bras.
- 6) I am a breast cancer survivor since 1993! Woo Hoo
