It's our last full day in St. Lucia and I am certainly not ready to go home. I suppose I should be catching you all up on what we have done for the last few days, so here it is.....lay on the beach, go to dinner. That about sums it up. Dinner here ( as well as any other meal or service) takes at least three hours. Really,it's just the way things are done here. When making 7 pm dinner reservations, have a snack before you leave and prepare to enjoy the company of others. I have been included in all of the dinners with Milos board and it has been fun. Even though most of the conversation is about island politics, insurance or hurricanes, I find them all interesting and entertaining. They are all pleasant and always include me.
The weather has been unbelievably windy and mostly cloudy. Remember, one can still burn like a French fry with the overcast skies. The wind and shade has kept the humidity down. When it rains it pours, then goes away as quickly as it came.
I am enjoying it all. I can sum up this trip in three words. WINDY - LAZY - BEAUTIFUL.
I have never had a vacation where i did nothing..it is hard to adjust to, but I am managing. :) Milo has joined me on the beach today, had to drag him down here, he is already worried about airport delays tomorrow and Monday...trying to teach him to enjoy the journey, his biggest joy in life is being home.
Back to the wind and beach ahhhhhhhh.

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
