We are sitting (moored) in St. Kitts, thinking about and missing our friends and family from back home! We are missing some of our new friends and when we know the dates we celebrate them too!

Happy Birthday dear Sue, our cousin in South Miami! We miss you terribly and know that your kids have whisked you off to a great new destination or restaurant this year...wish we could've helped you celebrate in person not just in spirit! To my niece Lacie, you're getting so grown up...would love to help you play on your birthday this month too! Jo, you are always in our hearts and thoughts, sorry we missed you when you were so close on the cruise ship around your birthday! Big Love to you sweetheart! Todd, you are ever elusive, and Olga and Tangerine, hope that you made his birthday special, happy happy to you too wild man! To Gabi, our granddaughter way up and out there in Colorado, it's hard to believe you turn 14 this year...ooooooooh we miss you very much! Big, big hugs dear, we love you tons! To my second cousin, can't believe that James has a beautiful son Sawyer, who will be two, and it's the terrible 2's for sure...Lots of giggles, and we know you will be spoiled on your birthday on the l0th. Gabrielle, can't believe you'll be 8 this year, just not possible! Jenn, hope your baby girl is pampered...what does an eight year old want now days? To Akim, may your day be filled with flying, with love and with parties (with my oldest best friend, Patti, at your side, all is possible)...Happy Birthday dear friend...whichever coast your on for your day on the 9th (or is the 12th...bad friend who can't remember the date)! Last, but not ever least, to you Connie Banko! You are sorely missed...hope all is well and you ROCK! Keep on keepin on dear friend...Dudley and Bec wish you an awesome birthday and Susie you are the creative chef and daughter to make that gastronomic feast come to fruition for her. Wish we were there!

Big Love to you all! Dudley and Bec
