• Have you read Val Curtis’ Mental Chew blog? The part I like (since it’s about gardening) is that it’s centered here on the island with an emphasis on what it takes to feed the kids–and us–well. The other part I like is you can feel  Val’s bright & cheerful spirit in her writing and in the things that she’s interested in. Check it out!

He's located over in Surina Business Park - Marcus Justiss just opened his tatto place last month (you might have seen him & his sister Anna in the parade!) He calls his outfit Art Design, and is already building a following on the island.

“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
“It’s the same thing,” he said.

Something that is pretty ordinary to us, and so amazing, even if we ARE used to it.

Now that's a pretty good hike: Group leader John Pachuta & naturalist Debbi Fincher led the intergenerational Road Scholar group (formerly Elderhostel) from the American Camp Visitor Center to South Beach, then back up Mount Finlayson, down to the road, and on to Cattle Point Lighthouse.
