Good morning all,
I thought someone would have opened a new thread...
I am just waking up ( just ask Annie the reason ). I wished I could have slept more, but I leave close to a school and this morning it returned to a farmyard :o) It was the first day of school after summer vacation.
I won't be home today : lunch with my Mom and visit to my homeopath in the afternoon, so I catch you later.
is served. Have a nice day.

Good Morning Martine and others who follow.

I thank you for the coffee.

Our elementary and kindergarten schools started their sessions yesterday. All the little children looking happy and running around full of energy, all the while, many of the Mothers and Fathers look on with sad faces.

Martine, I like your description of school grounds resembling a "farmyard". Have you ever noticed that when very young children are engaged in team sports, especially soccer, they all seem to forget their team assignments and follow the ball around the field, much like chickens running after the farmer if he/she is spreading their feed. No competition, no belonging to a team, it is PLAYTIME, everybody just runs around chasing the ball!!! It is beautiful:-{)}

Good Morning Martine and Tom. Kids here do not start school until next Tuesday. And that is the way sports should be, fun!

I am going to my parents place today, finally going to test out that Scuba gear. No wetsuit, doesn't fit LOL! Next year!

Joel has to go to work. I wish everyone a great day!

OK, one more!

Good Morning Martine, Tom, Eileen and Everybody,
first catch of the day

Eileen - double

Hi everyone. I am awake late also today and still sleepy. I need to crash out for a while under this tree. LOL. Annie B.

Annette, I have been awake since early, still sleepy myself. More coffee needed. O.K. that tree is yours. This therapy tree is mine.



Good catch Eileen/Torsten. Doubles are o.k.

Eileen, Funny how wetsuits shrink. Have fun playing with your gear.

Off to work - yippee!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good Morning / Afternoon, Friends here now, those already gone for the day, and those still to come!!

Tim horton's coffee is brewed and ready - I'm having a double dose myself!!

Body wants to sleep, but brain keeps on working out wiring problems. Annie, I think there's enough chairs to share, so I'll join you under the palm



Have only had the opportunity to 'lurk' the last little while, the wiring job I'm doing has turned from a labour of love into a pain in the ... Yass!! I figure I'll be working at it steady for at least another month and a half.

No pay, but satisfaction in seeing it get done

Enjoy the day, everyone - bright and sunny here .... and I'll be stuck in a basement again!! Oh well It's my own doing!!

Bill

Good Morning!

Been watching the weather channel all morning...don't like the looks of this newest hurricaine, Frances.
Oops, a fish.

good morning all!!!

here's a closeup

Hello everyone.
Lunch is over and now work work work.

Hi Sarge

Good morning.

Four weeks from today and I am on my way to Bonaire.

Starbucks coffee for everyone.

thank you for the coffee. Hi Ilona and others. Mary: you are so quick....uploaded it before me.

I am working at home today. Lucky me, because it's a terrific day AND right now in am sitting outside with my laptop. Working they call that.. LOL

Hello John, thanks for the coffee. A piece of mud cake as well would be great or poffertjes with egg liqueur... yummy
Or fish soup??? ;-)

Ooop, forgot the pic

Woagh!! Just popped back for a mo and saw this one. Annie B

Uuuuuuu, let's count the fishhairs (do not know it in English...

Ilona, I have never had mud cake. Tell me about it.

I am not a fan of fish soup.

My daughter is a German teacher here.

What a beautiful morning, no surprise there!
My daughter started school last wednesday. She was so excited the week before that she was constantly re-organizing her book bag. By friday, school was boring and she could not wait for Winter break, go figure.

As to Mud pie, any time any where, the fish soup can stay under the waves.

Ok, this will be my chair... hmmm where is my towel... and the cool cocktail... wait a minute... I will be back...

Good morning, everyone!

Most schools here in Indiana have been in session for 2 weeks now! My niece and nephew go to "year round" school and they've been going since July! But, they're due for a 2 week break here within the next week or so.

I do miss the first day of school. I really liked school...new classroom, new teacher, some new kids, some old ones...the smell of my new textbooks...new school supplies...and the square pizza the cafeteria served...HEAVEN!

When I was a child I had an aunt who taught at our school, and I found it very difficult to call her miss instead of auntie. LOL. Annie B.

Square pizza, how cool was that!? I miss the new sneakers and jeans to start the semester. Stylin! I'll bet my 1st grade teacher is still a knockout! Have a great day everyone!

John, mud cake is just fabulous.
Full of unsweetened choclate, sugar, coffee, bourbon, butter, eggs and a few other things. The color is like mud. After one slice of it you feel like you have eaten a ton of iron
I tasted it down under. But where is it originally from?

Hello Everyone - my kids have been back at school for almost a month - they started August 11!!!
Ilona - mud cake sounds YUMMMY!!!

Sarge Stan - Sarge cam to see you!!!!

Found this one in the archives - wonder what was so interesting in the ocean bottom that they were all looking that way!?!?!LOL!!!

Smack, Your first grade teacher has got to be about 97 years old now. Calm down ol boy.

Smack, You get all excited over a 97 year old, man you just aint right?

Lord please forgive me for picking on old Smack and be there for the ...... finish it for me Dilly.

Good morning, everyone.

Let's see: Here's a cup of coffee to wake up those on the east coast;
A cup of tea for those on the west coast;
And I suspect those across the pond are getting ready for martinis.

Ilona: Fishhairs = scales

Hmmmm, was there a disaster in Bon? No people, no fish, no nothing. Except sun, sun, sun



Have a nice day, everyone!

I'm off to work.

Good morning, everyone. Just 6 days until.......BONAIRE!!! I'll take some of that sun, Dan. I just hope Francis doesn't alter the plan!

thank god, a fish

Good morning everyone...a peek in for me...woohoo!
A few from the archives

Wonder why there are no divers...current appears to be much less today...boats pointing west!

And a CAM CLEANING is in order! Yoohoo, awesome Wannadive divers! Bart, Bob! Paul, Karin, Chris...Looking for you on the cams!

Hi Barbara!!!

Yes the reef cam does need cleaning - as well as the north beach cam!!!

Just peeked and saw these divers not stopping to wave at us!!!

Hi all!
Very busy LAST day at work. VACATION has arrived for me! Tomorrow a BBQ at work (not gonna miss that, duh). Than stress for packing all my stuff for Bonaire

Only a few days, before we can lay down at the beach and feel the nice caribbean water!!


(not intended to make people jealous, but I'm really excited!!)

Gee, Diana, how much stress can there be packing for Bonaire?

Well, you know, Dan... does everything fit in the bags I can take... Dive gear, clothing, more clothing... o, doesn't fit. Choose what to leave out... (just kidding, I think it is not such a problem!!)

Time for bed...

Diana, Sweet dreams. Not jealous, nope not one bit. Starting to enjoy my own P.B.A. and I still have 38 days.
