Good morning from a misty UK.

Here a few pictures from Monday 21st March at Captain Don's

Very nice Brian! Thanks for posting these. I absolutely love the picture of you and Sue.

Great photos!!!

Good Morning all..off to work...thanks for sharing the pics, Brian.

Here's how I feel today!


Wishing everyone a great day!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Brian, Thanks for sharing your photos of the group. It's so nice to see the happy faces of our BT friends - especially while on Bonaire!!!

Looks like you guys had a blast, thanks for making us a part of it.

Good morning Brian, Eileen, Tribs, Donna, Jonn & Sue, & Linda! Awesome game, Linda, wasn't it!? I really thought Davidson might beat them. Where the heck IS Davidson? I'm hoping to go to the Final!! I have a friend in Kansas City "with connections!" I.m off April 11 - 14, so it'd be perfect! I hope KU can beat North Carolina! Brian, I love your pictures! I wish I was there with you!

good morning....nice pic's! Having too much fun, without me....LOL

Great pics. We were supposed to get our medals last December, but never received it. Oh well, maybe the next time.

Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing with us.

I just gotta say that it was wonderful meeting so many BTers. We really enjoyed ourselves and our on island mini meet was super. And I swear I was NOT pinching Linda's behind even though he's glancing at me as though I am. So glad you got a picture Brian and thanks for posting it.

I have to say it..... Only ONE picture???? tsk tsk tsk

nah... ya'll look just beautiful all those smiles and Mara I don't believe it for a moment--- you're the devil in disguise!!!
Thanks for sharing the moment with us.
Brian, you and Sue look so happy and relaxed -- good on ya!

Heck Boom - I even forgot my camera...like I did most nights. At least Boy had his from time to time so I do have a few more people pics.

Oh - and I won a Capt Don's bag too - for knowing the names of the newest Bonaire Ambassadors. I know - I had an inside advantage but heck, I gave others a chance to get up and win the bag.

Mara

It was good to meet you and Pete and the boys - It seems a long time ago now.

Mara your smile just lights up even Bonaire It's good to see you!

Brian, don't you just hate that feeling.... how far away it all seems. I'm so glad that you all got to meet!

I love it when a plan comes together!!! wish I had been there congrats Brian and Sue!!

So where's the pic of you guys with the Capt'n? He's always there on Mondays at happy hour. He is VERY personable, and spent about 10 minutes with us the last time we were down!

I am sooooo jealous!! Wish I could get down sooner, rather than later!!

I believe that Capt Don was actually in the US??? I believe. Maybe Under The Sea event? And even though we've been back a shorter amount of time - yes it does seem like a long time ago since we met. HECK - (if you don't include the brief meeting at Chat N. Browse) it hasn't even been 7 days yet.

Eat your heart out Tad hee hee Capt. Don

Great Pics Brian, all those Bonaire Smiles

Congrats on your Medal

Brian, great pics. Thanks for sharing, and congrats to you and Sue!

Mara, has Pete lost weight as well?

I think I was mid-smacking my lips...Ummmm Rum Punch! (Or lack of rum). Brian had to come get me from my corner table as I had missed the BT flag. DUH

Enjoyed meeting everyone. I have some photos as well but will wait until I'm back home.

Mare, my girls thought Boy was cute and were happy to catch glimpses at Cactus Blue. They wanted to get up and dance to Moogie that night but were a little embarrassed because of Boy. I did show them the roof of your house while we were on a dive boat.

Freddie,

Even with his advancing age, artificial leg and diabetes, the Capt'n is still AWESOME!! The first time I met him, I felt like a groupie at a rock concert!!

His wife Janet is very personable as well, but doesn't have her hubby's gift for the BS! IMHO though, SHE is the reason HE is still with us!! Go figure??

I wish we had something similar here in the DC area to go to. Glad you guys had a great time!!

Yeah Linda - he seems to get that a lot. And I still remember the geeky little boy of 9 who was so scrawny and short I was afraid he would never make it as a teenager. When he first learned to dive at 10 he couldn't get all that weight on his back and we had to do the short tanks if possible...and now...

They should have gotten up and danced, he wouldn't have cared and I probably would have joined them. OF course that may have embarrased them even more. ;-)

And Cynde - I'll have to show Pete that note from you. He's kinda, sorta trying but not giving it that much of an effort. But we are going to be walking the 3Day in Boston so he'll have to start training soon. All that walking should help - heck it should help both of us. I'm at my ideal weight but some things just need to firm up a bit. ;-)

Mare, You're looking GOOOOD

Thanks Linda. I'm thrilled that it is staying off. I still can't believe 132 lbs gone. And dag gone it AIN'T coming back. Eveyone looked great though - tan, happy, healthy - just the way we are supposed to look.

Linda, I was wondering about your lips...lol...thought maybe you were trying to not say something...lol!

And yes, Mara, you look wonderful! Show Pete, make him feel good

here you go Mara......and I have to say....I was not drinking before I took this picture with no flash.....honest!!!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!



LaDonna

Alas I have to say that I HAD already been drinking but those who know me realize that it wouldn't have made a dag gone bit of difference I still would have been whooping it up with my bag - LOL! thanks for that one.

Mara you are such a LOOKER!!!
and that fun personality of yours... well its Over the Top!!!
Looks like you all had a great time

You know Tara if that bag were just a few inches longer I could have made a dress out it...albiet a short dress but a dress none the less. I'm wondering about making a skirt out of it though. Oh wait - I gave it to Stephanie so that she could put her jeans and shoes in it for her trip back to Boston - oh well, I'll have to find my other one.
