Our amazing vacation!

I can't believe we've been home since Tuesday and I'm just getting around to posting some pictures! We had an amazing time at the Occidental Grand Flamenco Resort in Punta Cana. I didn't mind the flight down or back, so it looks like my fear of flying is a thing of the past - yeah! The resort was beautiful, the beach amazing, the pools fabulous - it was like being in a different world where the most pressing decision of the day was 'should we lie out at the beach or a the pool?'

View from the Sports bar - which had a swim up bar in the bottom - too cool!



The beach - warm water and gentle breezes.

Our room.


I have posted alot more pictures on Facebook - 'cause it is so easy and so fast so be sure to check those out too. We are already talking about going again next year - we had such a great time.

An up-date on Sprocket - he now weighs 6 1/2lbs. and is 'potty' trained to puppy training pads - he never misses. It is too cute to watch - he gets in this stance, and stares straight ahead and doesn't move until he's finished. We've been reading up on pygmy goats and everything we've read says it is difficult/impossible to house train them - go figure! Gary's brother and his wife looked after Sprocket while we were gone and B helped out too. He did great - oops, he is crying for his bottle right now - time to go feed him - he's up to 5 oz a feeding five times a day.

Lovely pictures, Margaret! Glad you really enjoyed the trip. Since I have feet in both worlds (Blog and Facebook, I did get to see some of the other pictures on the infamous Facebook.

We've been really busy renovating the Bathroom. Would have loved your help! But you will be really proud of Frank and the results of his hard work! I did get the colour Blue but it is in Trim only!

I hope to post before during and after pics soon.

Have you managed to wrangle the name of the said girl friend from Jason yet?

Nice holiday! I'm green with envy, no wait that's gangrene from frost bite.
Ahhh facebook. for the last ten years everyone is careful to ALWAYS be anonymous on-line and never put out personal stuff. Now via facebook everyone puts everything on the internet all the time. funny how things change.
