Monday news…

Did you get out & explore the island this weekend?

Hope you had a great weekend…and now the countdown to New Year’s begins! Let’s see what’s up:

Randy & Gail have a quiet moment last spring at Haley's, for Randy's birthday...

• I checked in with Randy & Gail at Cotton Cotton Cotton (next to the Rumor Mill) & they have a sale this week before they go on vacation – here’s the scoop:

Located on Airport Center road, just past the old Flying Burrito,  San Juan Healthcare and right above Ravenhill Construction – for those of you who remember – above the “OLD THRIFT STORE” and where the “OLD Mark N Pak” used to be. See you there!

• And Rob Simpson says the Sliders are playing this weekend:

The Sliders are back! And we’re playing for you on New Years Eve at The Rumor Mill. They taking reservations already (378-5555), so if you’re staying on-island, come and join us to celebrate the new year with some great food and our mix of danceable, singable classic rock. The music begins at 9:30.

PS.  If you’re feeling cool and mellow, The San Juan Jazz Quintet is playing the next three Sundays at the Rumor Mill from 4 to 6 PM.

(Some of you may know, Jonny and I moonlight with them when we’re not rocking the house with the Sliders.)

Carole & Jack Woolsey show how empty Friday Harbor is on Christmas morning...everyone's home with folks & friends, as it should be.
