Family Business

We are here in St Lucia with 23 or so family members on my husband's side. We are all sharing a house with a staff, pool and all the personalities of his youth and some new ones. At night we gather and drink rum punch and listen to voices and guitar playing. During the day it's the sounds of children at the pool. Sometimes when everyone's out exploring, I'm finally relaxing. And Sometimes it's just us waiting for the staff to advise us that lunch is served.
Cutie is not eating much. Paulo thinks it's because she doesn't think it's kosher. So now I have to inform her what is kosher and what isn't. I'm sort of proud of this. She also asks if it's healthy.
Cutie prefers to swim with floaties (her word). I forgot her crocs and butterfly sun visor. It's good that her cousins can loan her a swim shirt and stuff. Cutie is getting along famously with the 7yo. We set up a lemonade stand yesterday and they made $11 St Lucian.
Such is life.
On the house front there seem to be some issues.
