July

So we are mid way through July. This month has been filled with busyness, heat, humidity, two storms, one hurricane evacuation (Dennis), visits with good friends at the International office, and the return of the aligator.
It has been fun contributing to our Crew'
s blog site, and in so doing I have been neglecting this one. My suggestion, for the latest news for you to check out the other site: cbmcaretakers.blogsport.com. All (well, ok, there's only 7 of us at moment) have been contributing to it in one way or another. This month marks the departure of 3 or our Crew so we will be down to 5. We are hoping the powers that be will replace those, so each of us won't have to be on watch every other day. Bummer.
Bill is doing well. He had a very nice visit with his sisters and father. I have a few days off coming, but figured I might as well stay here. I thought about going to a spa for a day, but Tom, our plumber said that there was enough mud and plastice wrap around here at the ship, so they could just handle that for me. Uh- I don't think so...
Keeper is doing well. She remains a source of joy and entertainment. Bill couldn't get her to come aboard ship last night to get in her kennel so she spent the night on the dock. She managed to get a couple of burrs in her paw and was limping around. I took them out, took her for a short walk and since the thunder and lightning was starting, invited her to her kennel and she walked right in. Guess she needed a rest.
That is it for now. Be sure to check out the other blog site. Love to all!
