J on a binge

Ransacks the kitchen.
Demands she needs chocolate.
Pacified by Dove.

Want like a burr that
catches your attention for
something you don’t need.

Free at last

Today was her last
day on a job I said ‘don’t
quit’ two years ago.

Chenay Bay – Sixth day

Last day on island.
Family kayak to Prune
Beach, enjoyed time shared.

Chenay Bay – Fifth night

Home-cooked spaghetti,
‘I Am Legend’ at Sunny
Isle. Just like back home.

Chenay Bay – Third day, Christmas eve

Day in Christiansted.
Cool arched walkways, courtyards lined
with stores. Few shoppers.

St. Croix prices

At Schooner Bay, iced
tea – 60 cents at Big Lots –
is nearly three bucks.

Packing for vacation

separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.

A Christmas story

If I could shoot my
eye out with that thing, I’d just
sit and watch TV.

Holiday spirit

Like catching snowflakes,
this melts quickly from the heat
of a stressful month.
