Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
So this last weekend Bob and I took a pre Christmas trip to Fort Lauderdale – mainly to buy the Christmas presents for the 12 children at the Exceptional Learners Centre. It is a bit of a buying frenzy – we hit the stores usually with some type of list for them – but them it just turns into a […]

There were plenty of Halloween shenanigans in Governors Harbour this week ….
