• Cheri's Johnson's Birthday 
• Looking for a rental when Bevin, Dale and Teresa come visit
• Mental illness.

Today is my sister-in-law. Cheri's Birthday. I think she is the same age as Tina. 

After going shopping today, we spend some time trying to find a rental for when my brothers and sister Terresa come. There was a place we found that was on the back road from our house to Rodney Bay where we were going shopping. There was a sign out for a place so after we were done shopping we went up the road to check it out. It was kind of tucked back in and when we drove back there a bunch of dogs came down from a house up above barking at us. As we were sitting there looking around to figure out which house was the rental a guy came walking down. His name was Bruno. He was originally from France but has lived in St Lucia for over 20 years. He was the one who owns and is renting the places out. Turns out, there were three houses for rent. He only had one that would fit all of us and unfortunately it was rented on the dates that we wanted it.

We came back home and did some research on the internet for other places. We found two or three that we thought might work. They don't tell you where they're at, but when you go on Google maps you can usually find them. One was kind of a cool location next to the ocean, but in a bit of a dumpy area. We checked out one on Vigie peninsula which is a nice area but we weren't sure about the house. The pictures made it look really nice but when we looked at it from the outside it looked pretty aged. 

There was another one that we went up to that was up by Rodney Bay and it looked okay but it was actually two apartments so we would be split up. It still seem to be the best bet. And it was the cheaper of the two. 

We went home and tried to find others, but there were really none that would fit eight of us. We decided to take the one on the Vigie peninsula. It will be about $600 per couple for the week. 

It is fast Sunday tomorrow and we asked the branch to remember baby Aaron and their passing in prayers. That is Ashton and Crystal's baby who is still in the hospital with respiratory problems. 

Tina got a little fired up this evening when we were trying to fill out the information to rent the house. She wanted to know the prefix for St. Lucia which was 758 and I have told her it about a thousand times so I gave her a method to remember it. She couldn't remember the method and I was n't telling her what it was. I was trying to remind her of the method of how to remember. She got a little upset and threw the phone and computer down and said it's your family and I could just do it myself if I wasn't going to tell her the prefix. Anyway, she finally calmed down.

This man walks the road everyday and pats his head while he walks. He is obviously a little off. There are three or four guys that walk up and down the main highway everyday. Just walking. 

I think there are a lot of people that have problems because their mothers drink why they are pregnant.
