Children's Easter Parade

This was clipped from The Abaconian newspaper about six years ago. The caption reads: St. Francis de Sales School held an Easter Parade on March 26. It was a competition and also allowed the children to dress in their Easter clothes so parents and friends cold admire them.

I am checking out your 'other' blog site, and it reminds me of my friend in Texas...when I visit in June, I ask my friends if there was anything they wanted me to cook for them, and one of them though real hard, cause she called me and said 'Can you make me Costa Rican food...now you know I am on that one, since I have not made anything lately but those black beans!; May 13, 2009 at 8:14 PM

About me and my memoir of Abaco

Welcome. My name is Sam Hoffer. I am in the process of writing a lively memoir, Living on Island Time, Retirement in Abaco Spiced with Food, Friends and Rum. The book is a travel adventure filled with zany characters, funny stories, jokes, and all of the wonderful friends we made. It includes building a home, boating and fishing tales, gardening, entertaining, food and recipes, as well as all of the trouble we managed to get into. Life isn't always perfect in paradise.

My husband Meakin and I followed a dream and retired to Abaco, in the out islands of the northern Bahamas, and lived there year-around for ten years on a tiny private cay (cays are smaller than islands) called Lubbers Quarters. Our home was Lazy Days and we also had a vacation rental Sandy Bottoms. Also I wrote a food column for The Abaconian newspaper, From the Kitchen of Lazy Days, while we lived there. It was a very special time in our lives and one we won't forget. I currently write a food column for the Cherokee Scout newspaper in the mountains of western North Carolina From My Carolina Kitchen.
