Anthony - 12 years old
David will have him full time. I haven’t seen him since 2002 in Naples, he was 4 years old. Soon after, Heather took Anthony & moved back to Ohio. The marina bought a new big screen for the lounge and movie night returns - we watched The Forgotten -strange. A new storm is brewing, TS Bonnie and heading for the Upper Keys. Sue (Remedy) and I had a lovely afternoon going to Walmart and Bealls outlet. Wayne is still working on the inverters. We Played Dominoes with Tom and Susan on Saturday night 
and I WON for a change. To Woody’s Roo via RIVER SKIPPER on the 20th. Karaoke night. OMG! Wayne 
got up to sing FEVER. Denise sang too & she was

However, the Inverters are a whole ‘nuther' story !

Susan & Nymah
sanding and painting the port and starboard window frames. Susan’s birthday was on the 30th - we joined Denise and her friends on the RIVER SKIPPER & visited a nearby sand bar for a swim. Lots of food, birthday cake and drinks.
Very enjoyable break in otherwise depressing events.
