Swimming with pigs in Exuma.

I feel like I have been an absentee blogger most of the summer. I must say I am struggling with where I am going with this. I have been reading most of the blogs on my sidebar.  Such a great mixed bag of bloggers.

Throw in a week full of other dramas, and I am about good and ready to let loose, and sink my teeth into the biggest week of the year....my son's wedding.

We head to Exuma on Sunday for an entire week of fun and frolic and celebration with 26 family and friends.  And I can;t wait.  I did my big Walmart shop for shampoos, sun screen, bathers etc...tomorrow hair, Saturday nails...and then we are off.   The fun thing is that half of the party are flying from Montreal to Toronto first, so we'll have a big breakfast reunion at the Airport Starbucks.  Ladies night on Monday, rehearsal dinner Tuesday and wedding on Wednesday.

That leaves Thursday for swimming with pigs...yep on Exuma, there is a colony of pigs that swim for food...you can take a dunk in the ocean with them, but you have to watch out for them snorting down your fingers or other parts.......

Of course, I'll take photos...Fare Thee Well until next week.....

  4. What a whirlwind of emotion - from the reunion to the wedding. I can totally understand what you are going through since that described my spring - in April my husband's sister and brother contacted us for the first time in 50 years and in May my son got married. Yep, the old head was spinning for months, but I'm calm now you will be glad to know. There is hope. Enjoy the wedding and I'm looking forward to hearing about it when you get back.

  5. Hi Chania,
    While I really can't imagine the family thing that you are dealing with, it is the complete opposite of the family thing I am dealing with. Familes are so complicated...anyway, have a wonderful time in Exuma swimming with the pigs, love the picture by the way. I have started a new blog since I seem to be going a different direction decor wise and it's just a fresh start from everything I've been dealing with the past few months!! Our son is getting married too in January. Hubby just got back from business in Montreal, said it was beautiful. Someday I hope to go with him. Have a wonderful time.

  8. What do you mean by "other parts"? No thank you, you can go swimming on your own.

  12. Hi, I enjoyed reading your blog, make sure you go on Ray and Justin's 007 tour to the swimming pigs. There are with out a doubt the best tour company and the nicest boats in Exuma. We went with them a couple weeks ago. It was simply fantastic, the best tour ever!

  13. Oh baby, this Ozark Farm Chick used to raise pigs. I have to say we've brought newborns in and thawed the out in the bathtub (hubs used good towels once...whole other novel) but I've never ever had the urge to swim with 'em! Heeehehehe!

    I'm so happy I popped in to say Howdy!

    From the foggy fall hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa, ya'll have a blessed and beautiful trip!!! :o)
