Here's a tune to start off our Monday.

Good Morning. I'm up, I think...I had to take some stuff to make me sleep around 4am, I get up now and George is already gone...My brain is fuzzy...that's normal tho!! So, I think it's all good

Good music BH!!

I missed blame someone else day, so...My other computer wont come up! It's Kayla's fault!! She put I-Tunes on there and downloaded some music to Olivia's new I-Pod...now it aint right!! Darn kids!!!

Sounds like my Monday....82 degrees here Friday and it was spitting snow about 45 minutes ago high today 48....just not right.

It's not snowing here, but it might as well be!! It's cold!! It's making me sneeze
The sun just finally came out, but it's 63 degrees. I'm sorry for yall that live where it snows...

Happy Monday kids.
Yes sir, it's the start of another work week, and all the crap that it brings. Let's hope we can get through it without any melt-downs.
I for one am right on the edge. Way to much to do and my right had man has the flu. Hey, I have the flu, who do I call in sick to?

I'm getting a tax refund, Bonaire here I come

Hey Jerry!! Good for you! Go to Bonaire, that'll fix 'em!
I just can't bring myself to open on Monday...no one comes down there, it's cold today, so no one will come down there...and if they do...they don't deserve to see me, they should've been there Saturday! I waited all day for them then!

PS, how did George's interview go?

Jerry, you have the flu too? There is something going around for sure. When I was at the pharmacy yesterday, lots of folks coughing and such.

Hope it's not as hot today as it was over the weekend...wow...looks like we are back to our normal weather...

I have an idea, how bout posting your favorite Bonaire pic?

PS, remember, you can't sell if you are not open!

The Queens.

From our first trip in 2004.

KIV

The white frog fish was at Something Special around 90' and about 25 kicks to the left. We did look for her in 2006, but she was not there.

Linda, you are very lucky. I have never seen a FF on my own. Good pic's!

Thanks Jerry. Wish I was there to take some more, but I'm at my desk at work. Back to work.

I know Jerry...but it is completely dead on Mondays and I NEED 2 days off, bad! We are open the other 5 and everyone knows that, and I'm open LATE too! (For when everyone's off work or walks around after having dinner)
G is still "interviewing" at different places, don't know what is going on...I'm sure something good will come from all of this

I hope these will both post...


A lot of construction going on next door...

WOW! Kinda big

Nice pictures, Pegi!

Morning Everyone! Love all the pics. Been a busy morning so far, my FIL is not doing good at all, the hospital in Canada where he is at is really bad, Gregg is there, and still no neuro doctor has been in to see him for over five days since he has lost feeling in his arms and hands. Ack! Well, onto plan B is the name of the game now. Looking at possibly transferring him to a VA hospital in Buffalo here in the states, they have everything he needs to get better from his hip surgery and also deal with the loss of feeling he has got going on, right now, nothing is happening where he is at, no doctors in at all, Gregg is going crazy trying to find out the scoop.

Other than that, all is good here, missing Bonaire a lot and wishing I was there right now. But, I guess Texas will do later in the week when I go visit Tiffany! Beautiful weather going on there!

Going to turn on some tunes and get lost in housework for a while.

Morning Everyone
PS, have you thought of putting more things from your shop online? You already have the website and you already have the merchandise, your missing an opportunity to unload (err... sell)

Sorry to hear about the snow BH. Weird weather extremes for sure.... we were in the 90's yesterday and will only be around 73 today. Wish I could send you some of our sunshine.

I have to take Bob (the cat) in to the vets today. We found 2 hard lumps on his belly over the weekend - I'm hoping it's an abscess. He's not a happy boy!

I love the idea Cynde... favorite Bon pics....

Debbie big hugs to Greg and all of you
Enjoy the music... wanna come to my house? I'll play good music, promise!!

Great pics on here!! Tara, that sky on the last one is unbelievable!!

I did send 20 new pics to the web-site guy last week...just waiting to hear from him and get that thing all sewn up, with him anyway! Then I will just do what I want with it...I hope! It has been a thorn in my.....left ankle for some time now!!LOL

Tara, I love those tiny Pederson cleaning shrimp. They are so tiny, but their colors stands out. Great pics!!!

I feel your pain.... it's taken a long time to get ours where we want it and we still have a bit to go. Feel free to call or email anytime if I can help or you need to vent. BTDT (been there done that).
Hey!! Also.... I was hoping to see the current work in progress. Is that part of what you sent him?

I thought about working on Bonaire pictures yesterday but I spent the time reading a new Search Engine Optimization book ---- I really know how to have a good time, eh?

One more time Timmy.
What happened to Florida Mini/Maxi meet? i've been out of the loop for a while.

Oops. You must have fixed your picture post while I was typing away. Looks kind of like BOB diving.

Love the pics, guys. I don't even know if I'm taking the Nikonos this time...I'd thought I'd be able to afford Digital by the time we leave, but I don't think it's going to happen. The Digital shots are just so good...

LOL that's a great shot of Bob snorkeling
Thanks for the compliments Linda - it was our first time on Bon and our first time with the new Canons



I still have another 200 or so to go through!!

You can vote on this one at Picture of the week Wetpixel "portraiture" if you feel like it....

Actually I sent him 2 of the W I P...but it's now almost done! Tomorrow I shall finish it...and it's the first painting I've ever done that I actually like!! I'm my worst critic, but I like this one...it's done kinda different. I see "undertones" and when I paint I put them in, well, then you paint over that and you can't see them...well, I did this little brush thing with my shaking, and you can see that, but it all blends together. It's really cool. And I'm adding a school of Blue Chromis in the background, without much detail, and they are looking so cute! They should be in "Finding Nemo"!!LOL

I need to replace my mail box. This will do.

Linda - still no date set or details yet

Good morning everyone, this Monday thing is killing me, but I like the idea of pictures so here goes...

Timmmy I went to Wetpixel to vote but couldn't find Mr. Lizzard
That is just the coolest picture and an experience I won't forget. That iguana swimming in the open channel and you got right up on him!
