Debby spent six weeks in Minnesota and arrived back in Puerto Rico on November 5. Mom moved into a very nice private room at Presbyterian Homes of Roseville. Mom's birthday fell during my visit and we had a little party for her. I visited lots of other family and friends while in Minnesota also, and stayed with my friends Dawn and Gil. On the day I left Minnesota, snow flurries were predicted, but Puerto Rico has been mostly sunny and in the 80s since I've been back. Larry had to deal with a week's worth of drenching rain and squalls from Tropical Storm Noel while I was gone, but everything turned out OK. I'm glad to be back in the Caribbean and we're getting ready to sail onward to the east, the Spanish Virgins, US and British Virgin Islands, and St. Martin in a couple of weeks.
