A Tropical Christmas Season

No pictures to share this week. I have been having some trouble with the SD card in my camera. Trouble, as in, my camera will not save pictures on it. I did go for a dive yesterday, a great easy dive near a tourist attraction where people go down with big bubble helmets on because they are not scuba divers. There were tons of fish!

I put up my Christmas tree today so that it will be up when Tom gets home next week. I discovered in doing so that I only brought my tree and the tree decorations and nothing else aside from some Christmas placemats. I suppose that in the rush of moving, it seemed silly to bring it all to Guam... Similarly, it appears that I also decided it was a better idea to store wrapping paper for two years rather than bring it to Guam. Honestly, I just do not want to see what comes out of that storage move when we get all of our stuff back. In any case, if you are wondering, Christmas in the tropics is just not Christmasy. This year should be better than the one I spend patroling outside Honolulu Harbor at least.

We had some difficult news this week. Tom's Grandmom is unwell and in the hospital. He is still underway, but has been able to talk to both his Mom and Grandmom, and she is doing better now. It is very hard to be many thousands of miles away when things like this happen, not to mention thousands of miles away and floating around the Pacific. She is in our thoughts and prayers, and ask my readers to keep her in theirs also.

I want to wish a very Happy First Birthday to one little Mister Robinson Meuse. I can not believe he is a year old already.

I will get some pictures up soon. I promise.
