We're back from the Third World (or is it the Fourth?)

After a month in Roatan (mostly in the rain) I made it back to Texas last weekend. Billie missed the first week, but joined me there for the last three weeks. As usual, we tried to fit six weeks' work into three!
We had been away from Roatan since February and needed to do a lot of work to the house. Not helped by the fact that we had a break-in while we were away. I lost my power tools, but apart from that no damage was done.
Much of the time was spent making sure that the house is as burglar-proof as it can be made until the next visit. This took time, and cost a lot more than the things I lost so far, but we both feel much safer than we were before. Anybody breaking in now will need to work REALLY hard, as we have secure doors and windows all around (provided we remember to lock up).
The rest of the time was spent renewing our residency. One of the joys of living on an island thirty miles offshore of a third world country (hence the fourth world!) is that rules change with the wind. The lawyer we had hired to update our residency in February seems to have processed Billie's twice and failed to process mine, so the papers were totally messed up. Also, this year (for the first time) we had to go to the mainland to complete the process. It was when we got there that we found the problem with my residency, but, of course, my papers were back in Roatan; hence another round trip was required. All this at a time when Roatan airport is closed most of the day for runway repairs and the mainland was closed part of the time due to floods!
Still and all, I always feel sad leaving the island.
Now I'm back and working hard on catching up with an Internet Marketing course I've been taking. Once I can figure out how this blogging works, I'll let you have a link -- it's a wonderful course for digital cripples like me! If you can type you can do it.
Billie has gone to Dallas this weekend. Trent is performing at Gilley's and his girl friend is taking Klemmer's Personal Mastery course in Dallas. So Billie decided to audit the course to be with her. Since for me that would mean four days away from home, I decided to let her go alone. Probably bad news, as I didn't lock up the credit cards ...
Let's see if I can give you these links:
