Good morning everyone! Boo-Boo dog & I are back. *grin*

Happy belated birthdays to those that I missed last week. Mine is coming up on the 25th.

It appears it shall be another scorcher day here in Central Florida. So why shall I be to Bon w/o a tan? LOL. Boo-Boo has a new life vest. I am sure he is just thrilled. (NOT) We shall have to go test it out in the pool today.

PS: I did not win the $85 million Florida lotto jackpot, so no Bonaire house for us to all hang out in yet. *darn!*

rshineto We missed you, with or without the big bux! We were about to put you and Boo-Boo on the back of a milk carton. LOL

Dark and mysterious morning on Bon but the boat (Ford pickup) is here!

swears Yesterday was a frustrating morning, I froze up five times in a half hour. BoxerBob was also online working on a website, and every time I locked he got knocked off, too. So I quit and he was fine for the rest of the day. Dang Microsoft.

Hi Rtshineto and Rusty,
Yesterday was a strange day........everything was happening so slowly or freezing up all morning - I finally gave up....was ok in the PM.

Good morning ladies!

Boo-Boo's so cute that if were on a mlik carton the entire nation would be actively looking for him. He is such a kind little dog.

My computer is often naughty, though I do not want to throw any money at it before going to Bon. So I shall endure its' antics for a while longer.

BTW, glad to know you're still my friends even if I am a starving artist & not filthy rich from a lotto win. *smile*

Hi Carol - that's strange, huh? I hardly ever have that much trouble staying online. Can't imagine what causes it so erratically.

I wonder if those people are Marc and Kitty......I don't think anyone has seen them yet and they are still supposed to be in Bonaire.

Well, Boo-Boo & I need to take a cruise around the estate in the golf cart & also feed the koi. It is just sort of a habit to take a morning ride so I can see that the main house did not disappear into thin air or anything. I'll be right back.

Marc posted a couple of days ago they were to stop by the cams. I thought they meant the street cam, though I have no idea. I too thought for sure we would be seeing them in front of the cams by now.

Boo-Boo needs a sign in the box that says: Not coming home, send dog food. Now wouldn't that be funny!

I've been wondering where Marc & Kitty are, too. Wonder if that's him at 9:30 in the Gladiator mask. Never saw one like that before.

Hey BRUNO!

Good morning everyone! Hope the weekend is going well. NFL week #1 starts today, yeah! This afternoon I'm diving my favorite local lake and trying the camera thing again. I just test-fired the strobe so IT BETTER not act up at the dive site. Here's hoping for clear viz and lots of fish life. I'll give a report later tonight or tomorrow. "Are you ready for some football?!"

The jumper trainer behind us has 3 little girls out riding a course this morning. One is on a pony & the other two on horses. It is so fun to see little kids out upon their horses.

horse As long as the little darlings don't pull a "Prince Charles." That poor man is always falling off his horse and hurting something. After my second or third time I learned my lesson and stayed on the ground. LOL

When I was a teenager I was was taking some clinics from various world famous judges. Once one even told my mother he did not know which to feel sorry for, me or the horse. *groan* I took the hint & have never tried jumping again.

I think I am very fortunate to have my Polish Arabian gelding. He is a saint & works very hard to make sure I stay atop him. Literally.

You know I keep telling ya'll I can't cook. I made some egg salad for a sandwhich & Boo-Boo won't touch it.

I suppose I can leave it out for the barn cat, for he will eat anything he is not supposed to-including Oreo cookies. Set 3 cookies down the other day only to come back & find the cat polishing them off. *grrr* I guess chocalate doesn't bother cats as it does dogs, for the cat seemed just fine afterwards.

horse I think that with the right horse and enough quarters to keep him moving, I could hang on, too!

Funny, I just bought leather cleaner yesterday. Any one care to volunteer to come over & clean saddles? Come on ladies, if we want that house on Bon it looks like we are back to that I am going to have to marry for it, & Rusty's sign did say he wants a pict of the saddle & horse! One of you needs to volunteer to wash the horse too. It is only fair if we spread out the work load here in order to get our house... *evil grin*

Hi Cynde & Sarah. No point in saying hello to Glenn for we know he is glued to the boob tube watching football. *ugh* I have never been to a football game in my life. No wonder I simply am not marriage material. HEHEHE

Hello Gang, Just popped in for a peek after a busy weekend. Been cleaning out the garden pond ready for winter, cutting back the pond plants etc. Also re-stocked with some new fish too. Nice to see you back Rtshineto, where you Bin? Missed you.

Meryl, Sorry to hear you feeling under the weather with sore throat. A swig of Brandy would cure that i'm sure. Hope you feel better soon.

Rusty, How far you had to travel to the walmart. You been gone for ages. Annie B.

Rt, Hello! I could only get back until now, we will be traveling south in Feb and we would love to be in Bonaire but there are no direct flights out of Toronto. We will look at the costs and if the flight is too much (for now) then we will go to Cozumel. Then Bonaire a year later. But I am looking forward to the lessons! Have a great day!
