While I've been back for more than a week, motivation to do a whole lot must have been left on Paradise Island, Bahamas. The girls, with their men, and I enjoyed five days without snow and cold. While the weather was cooler than desired, it was great for walking around and even pool swimming. My lap swimming is gone for good....I did several laps but it was worse than when I was doing laps all the time. Back then I described my swimming as keeping up with dead fish, now it's not even that fast.
Anna was excellent in organizing a trek across the bridges connecting Paradise Island to Nassau on New Providence Island. Reluctantly I joined in and was glad I did. Over the years, starting 30 years ago, the girls and I have done the bridges many, many times, even loaded with groceries in our back packs. Anna decided we were eating lunch at one of the local food booths under the bridges. I'm so glad I went. The fried red snapper, very, very fresh, was wonderful; Anna ate the eyes just to gross out her sister! The kids enjoyed conch salads and fritters. Daphney's had by far the best fritters.

All in all, the five days did us all well. Even though the weather could have been warmer we were able to play games and enjoy each other's company. I taught everyone Canasta. They seemed to enjoy it as they always liked playing Rummy. I forgot my iPad and our phone service doesn't serve Bahamas. Consequently, I knocked off three books. Yeah!
