My husband and I took a wonderful and much needed vacation over the last two weeks. We have a timeshare unit in Sint Maarten, the Dutch West Indies, but one of the best things about the island is that it’s half Dutch and half French–the other half of the island is Saint Martin, in the French West Indies. So the food is amazing. We won’t talk about how much weight I gained. And then since we took an extra week this year on top of our usual one week share, we took the opportunity to ferry over to Anguilla (British West Indies) and also Pinel Island, which is a tiny little island that’s really just a sandbar away from Saint Martin. You could honestly probably walk. Lots of people kayak over.
Anyway, we always see loads of animals, so I thought I would subject all of you, dear readers, to vacation pictures!

This looks like you had such a wonderful vacation!
You know me…if there are animals, I am happy! And the weather was just about perfect.
How come milk and bacon kitty isn’t living in Mt. Kisco as I write? Isn’t she (or is it “he”) just what you always needed???
Milk and Bacon Kitty, so named by Felix, is just what I need. I don’t think the dogs — or the Kitty, who’s so happy in the warmth — would agree.
