Musings of a land-locked cruiser who spent 10 years in the Caribbean on her sailboat. A sailor never forgets the sea, the islands - exploring the beaches, hiking trails and tropical rain forests. Busy island towns with local markets, filled with reggae music, rastas and island ladies selling their fruits and vegetables. Ocean passages with starry nights and flying fish, dolphins, no land in sight - I miss them all. http://amzn.com/B009RCO02G

Merry Christmas - Happy New Year
As I write this, Christmas is pretty much over. I've had a good day, made pumpkin bread this morning for dinner at a friend's relative's house. In their family, traditional Christmas dinner is lasagna. Not what I've been used to most of my life, but I love pasta, and therefore, was very happy with the choice. Of course, I'm always very happy when someone else cooks for me.
I'm really not much of a Christmas person, I'm always glad when it's over. The end of the year always seems like a good time to me. A new year seems to promise new things, better things, maybe things will somehow magically be perfect. Of course, I always say I'm going to make more of an effort at losing weight in the new year - how many years have I said that? Well, some years I've succeeded, and then gained it again!
Whatever your feelings for the season, I hope you've had a wonderful time. A time of memories full of good people, good food and good times. Next year, I hope the world will finally be at peace. I wish for peace and prosperity for everyone, and I hope they enjoy themselves.
Happy New Year!
