Still trying to get organized for Cinco de Mayo - yay and ugh at the same time. Always fun to throw a huge party in the name of a good cause. We keep simplifying to make it as easy as humanly possible and it is still a huge amount of work. Thanks goes out to anyone who has in any way helped. I have decided this year to just keep doing the best I can and not let frustration set in - which is quite a feat when all things are considered. Scheduling is on the menu today and thanks to Chris at Casa Picasso and Barrington and the islanders, I have 2 spots out of 6 filled in. I hope to do better after the meeting. Lara just coconut phoned me and offered a ride to Wet Willy's noon meeting. Hooray - that means I will run over to Sol Spa now and get their gift certificates. Meeting was all over the place but still good. Thanks to all who came out and volunteered to help day of the party and got friends involved as well. We have some great musicians coming out for the event, Gino, Ted, Drumme

Hooked up with Kra-z-k at Coral Beach realty and she furthered my efforts to get some flyers up around town with a nice golf cart ride. Paul and I went through the list today and hoping we have everyone. Please accept our apologies if you did not get on sooner or the information was not correct - we are doing the best we can. Quicksilver Dianne has been helping proof read. The big day is drawing closer. If you or someone you know can help in any way please feel free to come to the meeting tomorrow at noon Wet Willy's. We can still use party staff and and talent the day of as well as prep work to prepare for the event in advance.

DCG and I made it to Ruby's for a johnny cake and headed over to wait at the airport. She was off on time and I came home to get a few things ready to bring to the school. Shuffles and C are coming over at noon to pick me up and take a full tour of HC school. 1:25 pm Latest news... I have just matched a wonderful volunteer C for Cindy who we met through Shuffles (you likely saw her in the sunset cruise pictures) to the playground effort. C is sadly leaving the Island for a short while and wanted to know what she could do to help the school. After taking the tour of San Mateo and the school today, she has agreed to get her youth group involved in raising money for that cause. While here C has action packed her 10 days from taking a zillion pictures - helping on the trash can effort - taking things to a family in Toledo that she found by going there and showing a picture and asking if anyone knew that boy until someone said yes, taking time to visit the school and make plans to help

DCG just mixed a pitcher of rum punch and I got the fins and masks packed - we are getting ready for some quality beach time at Ramon's. Snorkeling was great at Ramon's - we saw all kinds of cool fish. There was a wall of grunts under the dock. When we got back to the beach Paul said Dick and Carole were on the boat and heading our way. So we got packed up and met them at a dock near BC's - Lydia and I got on the boat and Paul went to go get cleaned up for the party. Watching the kayak race from the water was full out sensory overload - we had so much fun. Got dropped of in town for the party which was loads of fun - then headed down the beach to BC's to say hi to everyone and enjoy the Usual Suspects.
