We decided to make up the batter for the molasses cookies last night and let it sit in the fridge until today. They are easier to roll when the dough is stiff. Today was a busy day with housekeeping chores. We had lots of laundry and sweeping to do from the Radford crew. When things seemed under control, we baked the cookies. After lunch, we went to Greater Lameshur for a snorkel. I saw a new fish today so will have to go to the library later to look it up. It is a lovely day again - bright sunshine and the water temperature is just right. After showering, we noticed the kitchen was empty so Dave and I made up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. We have a smaller crowd now, so am not sure when they will be needed, but they will be ready to bake whenever. John is making some type of pork for dinner tonight. It sure does smell wonderful! The Manhattan kids went out on a boat today for an all day snorkel trip around the island. They were very excited because they saw rays, turtles, and sharks. Radford left this morning and we all sang "Happy Trails to You" as they drove away. One of the boys wrote a lovely thank you letter to the staff - we have it posted on the fridge. That was really sweet of him. Iowa comes in tonight, but they are eating dinner in Cruz Bay so we don't expect them until late. The pictures on the blog today are of Jerry climbing the coconut tree and using a machete to get some ripe ones down for the kids, another anole in a century plant, and a picture I took of a butterfly, but now I can't find it in the picture! Does anyone want to play, "Where's Waldo?" Life is good here in St. John!
