Good Morning Everyone

Well, 3 more days to go & homeward-bound
Debbie & family left early this morning We had a great dinner with them on Friday at Lions Den. Spent lots of quality time with them - sorry to see them go - safe & speedy travels home Debbie.
There have been lots of "pod" ships in this week with an enormous amount of people - more in trip report.
We spent all day yesterday in the park - very, very beautiful. Saw THE biggest parrot fish ever while snorkeling at Wayaka II - hope the pics turn out!
Just wanted to say a quick Hi & hope everyone & their families are OK.
Be seeing ya'all very soon
Big Bonaire Hugs,
Judy, Les & Janessa

Goats and Boats are fine.. Snow is gone you can come home now!:P

Hi Judy and family!!!
So glad you're having fun. Can't wait to hear more about your trip. Miss you on this side

Judy,

What in the world are you doing in front of a computer, on a Sunday morning, instead of in the water or exploring, with only 3 days left?

I love BT too! But when I'm on a trip down south, these people are history until I get back...:-)!!

Hi Judy and all, was out blowing driveways early this morning, a bit disappointed that some of the neighbors whose driveway I kept clean during the worst storms this winter didn't lift a shovel on our or Wendy's drive while we were gone. Oh well, live and learn - right?

We just finished a big breakfast of cinnamon rolls, maple sausage, hash browns and eggs. Unpacking and spending time with our furry children today, not planning on going to far.

Hugs to you all.

Welcome home Tom.

Blowing snow, your lips must be frozen?

Caymus wants his run along the beach, catch you later.

Happy Sunday, all.
Getting close to 50F today. Time to put on the thong and sun tan lotion.

Hey Judy, can't wait to see your pics. Make these last days last!

A friend and I lifted weights this morning, did crunches, then walked around the lake. BEAUTIFUL sunny day...Larry is off on his new bike with his camera, of course, enjoying it now, and my friend went for once more around the lake. I'm done!

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Tom, never come to FL in Jan or Feb.!!! March on is good. 82 today, 83 tomorrow, so on and so forth. But, I hope you guys did enjoy the first few days of sunshine. Sorry 'bout that cold front.

Tom, I can't believe you really left!! I DID want to see yall again...it was such a nice evening last time!!! Tell Pam and Katie HI for me!!! Sorry about your snow, it would melt here!!
Hey, make me some snowballs to bring next time!!

Something you have to know about the people that live in VT.
1st. They love ice and snow.
2nd. They love winter lasting 9 months.
3rd. They love there snow blowers.
4th. They love to return to the ice and snow after spending time in the warm sun.
5th. They can't stand summer, how in hell can you go ice fishing in July?

Jerry, Tom, it's in the low 70's here, and sunny. Flip flops are out.

Unfortunately, I'm in...doing taxes, STILL. PegiSue, if this is your first year as a small business tax payer, brace yourself...

It's beautiful down here today too CB. Just wen to brunch with Dick and Grace....after a couple mamosas, it's nap time...lol...

Tom, glad you guys are home safely. Sorry about the lack of care from your snow blowing neighbors

Kiwi....I want pictures LOL!

It made it to 56 degrees here today. Rob and I loaded up the dirt bikes and headed for the mountains. We rode for about an hour up in the National Forest; muddy and still snow on most of the dirt/gravel road. We ride in WV and on top of the mountain chain we go up is where the state line is. West By God Virginia was a tad warmer than down at our house. It's 20 mins. to the mountain base and another 30 mins. up and over to where we park and unload the trailer.
All the trails were somewhat muddy; came home wearing some of that all over me & the bike

Little Miss Bubbles had her first 3 hour stint in her X pen while we were gone. We set it up in our kitchen with a floor mat. It's maybe 3x5 and we put in her donut bed toys and H20. ZERO accidents for her while we were gone. GOOD GIRL
Today will be bath day for all three kids. I have been talkin about it for a month so it's time to act.

We're now hunkered down for some calm and watching Nascar. Hope everyone else had a great day......

Cynde, you're really living the OC life, my friend...flip flops, mimosas, midday naps...

Kobi, that sounds like fun. Did you try the Duct tape on Bubbles?

Well, It seems there are the "have good weather" people and the "have nots". The "have's" seem perky and chipper while the "have nots"...

Tom, One good <snow> blow certainly deserves another. Shameful of your neighbors.

Kini & CB, whatEVER!

Kobi, Keep your motor running.

Hey kids, spent a big part of the day at the beach, windy but the bright sunshine felt so nice.
Caymus has been brushed and it's nap time.

Tom, get your a$$ out of the hot tub!

LOL, CB! I told Rob about it and he thinks it's a grand idea Today, though, I couldn't lay fingers on a roll of the sh*t in time LOL!

She's being good today but the night is still young

Hope you get your paperwork done soon! Heck, use the shredder! LOL

Jerry, sounds like you had good quality time with your boy! That's awesome.

I agree about the nappy. Rob does too; he's de-forresting over in his recliner right now LOL!

Skiwi, it's not perfect here...it got down to 56 last night...the horror. I had to put on socks to go out to dinner. And, look, there's a little puffy white cloud in the sky. NOOOOO...it'll smudge my tan!

I live near a town that some government survey from the 1930's concluded had the best all around weather in the country. There's a big arching sign over the main street that says "Climate Best by Government Test". it's so dopey. I love it.

What's for diner?
KIV, she's still a baby, in time this to shall pass.

Well, well, well. We won $104 on the lottery today , and had a grand day. Larry's got a new bike but it's parked in the LR...can't stay there! He paid 360.00 for it, it's a good one. I walked around the lake, he pedaled around it 3 times and stopped to take pics.

Let me show you the pics...but first pic is on the lanai, just now:





He saw the flock of ibis right on our own backdoor. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. (think Auntie Em and Wizard of Oz, weather's changin' here. I hope it's changed for the season (which is March till December).

OK the flock, and we noticed it must be the male who has the goozle. lol He has quite a harem.




And it's not even sunset yet.

Jerry, I think it's this month's Sunset that has a recipe for chili rellenos baked in eggs that I need to try. It has chorizo in it, though, so I'll have to figure how to swap that out without making it boring. It looks so nice.

OK, I did something wrong, but the last one, Mr. Goozle is flying onto our dock. Look up and you'll see where I was at that moment.

We were posting at the same time, Kathy. Beautiful pics! Crazy birding you have there!

Great photos kathy.. Love the Ibis..
Jerry I just made some Lemon Garlic Shrimp over pasta yummyyyyyyyy

Hello there, Lurking Mod....

Hi there miss CB sorry I didn't include you.. I was thinking of what could be substitued for the chorizo, there must be a veggie sausage

I am embarassed to say.....it's Subway steak and cheese for this fam tonight Jared would be proud LOL.

I am sipping my Chateau Morrisette again tonight. Didn't finish the bottle last night but I have found out I am a light weight LOL! 1/2 bottle kicked my arse last night...hee hee.

Kathy awesome pictures The water comes right to your house/foundation or I bet it's on stilts?! Eeeeow....

Hey wonder if I can make it to 5K tonight?! LOL.....NOT! Although I have been boring the ever living sh*t out of you guys with Bubbles stuff lately so....maybe?

I didn't feel left out, Freddie, just wanted to say HI!

Kobi, you couldn't finish the bottle? Get in training, girl!

It's still mid afternoon here...just finished a late lunch...haven't even thought about dinner yet. Poor old Eric had so much dental work done this week that I've been making soups for dinner. No matter what, I'm afraid there's a grocery run in my future. It'll be a nice break from TAXES, though!

I just figured out how to change my profile pic! Good grief, I'm a slow learner. At this rate I'll learn how to post pics any day now!

I'm goofing off, not getting my work done. Gaa! I do this to myself every year!

well you are half way there then Barb.,,, just do the formatting \image{Photo name}and then go look for a photo when it prompts you BUT the hard part is getting it below 50kb..

Uh Oh and we're NOT helping you, CB

I think I feel a hangover coming on.
I just told Rob I was calling in HUNG OVER tomorrow....pffft and I thought I was getting the flu LOL!

I like your new pic, CB....you done good

Yup. That's where I get stuck. It's just laziness, really.

The soy sausage won't work, Freddie. it loses texture when you cook it with fluid. Maybe just roasted vegetables...

Do you East Coasters read Sunset Magazine?

Thanks, Kobi!

Calling in now as hung over tomorrow. I call that planning ahead!

Louise is making CHICKEN POT PIE, GOD help me!
Thank the wine Gods that I have a wine cellar

Kathy, your pic's always make me feel good.
Freddie, save some for me.

I have several of the cookbooks.. very good// ohh I like the idea of roasted veggies.. maybe even grilled for the extra nuttiness...Yummy grilled carrots..

The magazine is very much like our Better Homes and Gardens Mag..

No w Now Jerry I can only hope that she is using the same recipe that Colleen used last week that was the BEST chicken pot pie I have ever had

Jerry, eat your chicken!

Hiccup.....

Never heard of that mag, CB. Will check it out though Love BH & Gardens.

Jerry, sounds like a wonderful dinner she'll make with chicken and lots of love.

Hey Barbara (C.B.) it got up to the low seventies here today until that is, Pam returned home and discovered what the thermostat had been turned up to I like the new profile pic

Hi Fweddie, thanks for turning the heat back on today.

Relaxing day for the most part, kicked back on the couch and read. Boris was right by my side with his head on my leg a lot. Don't get much better than that for me Okay, if it had been Pam it would have been better - her breath smells just a little better than Bo-Bo's. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Kathy, nice pics are those Florida chickens?
Hey Floridians, January 30 to Feb 6 2008 Pam and I will be back at our own place at Vistana, plan on joining us for a cook-out. Do you hear this Timmmy?

Hi, P.S., next trip we will walk Old Town for sure Must admit, I did enjoy all the bikes that were in town on Friday and Saturday.

K.I.V., show that bottle who the bossssssth isthhhhh

Kiwi, it's all good man, it's all good.

Made "Guilty Pleasure" and bruschetta for dinner, letting that digest a bit then off to enjoy some limone biscotti with a scoop (or three) of lemon gelato. It is tough being King but someone has to do it, and I got here first

Back to work tomorrow - yuck!!!

It's been a fun weekend, gang I am going to call it a Sunday. Have a few chores to do like vacuum for the umpteenth (3rd) time this weekend!

Monday's s*ck but at least we can get through it together.

Night all........

Hi, Tom! Nice to have you back among us. Although your're about as far away from me as you were in Florida. Welcome back anyway!

Nite, Kobi. The only good part of being chained to the desk today was that I got to spend it with y'all, as PS would say.

(Message edited by barbara_gibson on March 2, 2008)

I feel your pain Tom, I'm off tomorrow.

Hey, I'm coming up to Cabots.

Night kids, have to clean the stove, cigar and some port, more port........

Wow, you all were certainly busy while I was napping! got up, rode the bike, did my core exercises...it was H...A...R...D.......bleh...guess I'll grab some wine and hit the hot tub....

its tough being me...lol...

Tom...I read your post 3 times...jan 2008 has come and gone my friend...

Ooooooops, how about 2009?

Kobi, the dock is in front, and under the lanai it's sloped white rocks on plastic, but the water never gets up that far....house is way back. Did you notice the temperature? lol Always hotter on the lanai when the sun comes down on that side. And now I see we somehow need to figure out how to repaint/clean the lattice on the dock. pllllt
