Bella Salutes the Queen

Today is Sovereign's Day, aka "Commonwealth Day." This is the day we pay homage to the Queen and find yet another excuse to have a party. All the stores are closed, Tom's back is thrown out plus he has a sore throat, Shelley is recovering from her shoulder injury, I have a urinary infection, and it's raining. Party, party, party. Whoo hoo! Go, Sovereign, go!  

As always, we wish you to be aware that Queen Elizabeth's real (versus official) birthday is April 21st, the same day as Melissa Higgins (my aunt) and Grandma Shelley. Mark your calendars. Mark your Facebook pages. Send gifts.

Lexy begging. Pathetic.

This is my next-door neighbor, Lexy. She is not allowed to come inside our house because she eats all my food. I am supposed to be nice to Lexy, but would you be nice to someone who eats all your food? 

We're coming into the "slow season" here in San Pedro. But that's a good thing for you if you're interested in visiting. The weather here is summer all year long, and, c'mon, who can't work around the rainy season, the mosquito season, and the hurricane season? Prices will be way down for accomodations and your travel dollar will go a lot further. So get brave, and come on down.

Y'all come visit. We'll have a few hot toddies ready if you're feeling a little sick, and we'll chase away the rain and any unwanted dogs! You're gonna love Belize!

Editor's Note: Yesterday, our cousin Judy passed away into glory. She was the life, the light, and the matriarch of her family, and an absolute delight to be around. We will miss you greatly, Judy, but, the best part, we will see you again in Heaven.
