Torsten

Doggone, missed posting the first post of the morning by seconds! But hey, I'll go for the second... Guten Morgen, Torsten! Was just reading CNN's latest account of what's up on Grand Cayman. Sounds nasty -- storm surge 1/2 mile inland... Glad Bonaire missed most of that! Here's hoping the folks on Grand Cayman are OK...

Off to the airport -- enjoy the day, folks!

Faith

Good morning Torsten and Faith and all other buddies,
yes, it's windy weather here.

My thoughts are with all the people who are in the path of Ivan.

Last (synthetic) light of the night before dawn is coming...

Good morning,

Torsten, I got it man. I will put two of your country's flags on the project as amends:-{)}

After what we all went through last week, it is so nice to log on and see those lights.

I hope the best for the Caymans and all other properties in Ivan's path.

Tom , you are making me curious here !!!!

I've been trying to "dig up" some more nationalities , but ...... work interfered


sjossss

CNN reported heavy floodings on the Caymans. But no dead so far.

Hello and Good Morning Torsten, Faith, Ilona, Tom and Jos!

Ivan is heading towards Cuba, I have seen and been in their homes are like and my thoughts are with them too.

Jos, how is Alexander doing with walking? Mr. Quinn has decided he wants to learn how to crawl. He has the arms and legs going but the stomach stays on the ground. When he has his behind in the air, the arms and legs do not move. He still has to connect the two and then look out! It is a little too early for my liking! LOL!

Eileen, Quick, put the Quinnman in water, he is trying to swim:-{)}

good morning all.
today a sickday. That's the result of the weather going hot, cold, sun, rain.......go on an on.

glad to see the nice colors over here again.


Coffee anyone?

ms berry pie


I think Tom is right , he is definately trying to swim !
( for the record , amber started swimming"lessons" at 3 months and Alexander at 4 months)

Funny thing about the walking , he does , and he can, he just doesn't know it yet
So he is walking the room by the perimeter ,for another day.

nice yellow cloud in this picture


sjosss

Nice one stan

just kidding

A double espresso will do fine ( or at least something )

Jos, I can picture it now, Alexander running in the house or at a store, naked or in diapers, thinking, Mommy and Daddy can't get me!
At the end of the month, Quinn and his buddy Owen are learning swimming! The program is called Aquatots, mom's and dad's go swimming too .

I hope you feel better Stan!

Funny Eileen , we'll find him always !!! Just follow the cookie crum trail!!!

Aquatots is similar I think to what they do overhere.
Reminds me of having to update my profile pic .

sjosss
gotta dash, work to be done.

Hiya guys, and good morning

pretty pink sunrise


am clearing out things and just having a mid-morning break and cuppa

love hearing about your kids

My middle son Lee, crawled at 6 months, and SO fast. He looked like the baby in the cartoon of Popeye and Olive Oil ROTFLMAO People didn't believe me till they saw him. They thought it was very amusing, and it was also a lot of very hard work keeping him out of things he shouldn't yet be able to get to....

Good Morning Jenni! I hope you are doing well today! Don't scare me... LOL!

LOL Jos!

Sun is shining in!

Jos, We have been waiting to see Alexander.

Eileen, Jenni is only being honest, just wait and see for yourself:-{)}

I guess I will get more excercise then! We have been doing some more childproofing, like installing gates. I hope Quinn isn't a genius and figures it out how to work them too soon.

I wish everyone a great morning! See you for sunsets.

OK, one more.

Good morning all! Coffee is hot. Eileen, good thing to get Quinn swimming at that age. Tots take to it naturally. 27 days, Tom!

Good Morning All!
I could really use that coffee now...Thanks. Trying to keep my eyes open...I'm finishing my last night-shift of seven in a row. The last two have been twelve hours.
Nice to see the sunrise on Bonaire.
Hi Eileen....Not to worry...I'll help Quinn along with crawling and walking in no time for you. I'll be seeing you and Quinn this afternoon

Good morning! Having my second cup of coffee this morning, as these days I spend the first one in front of the TV catching up on Ivan.

BTW, Ivan's projected path keeps changing, and now they say it's coming this way!

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT09/refresh/AL0904W5%2BGIF/070303W5.gif

Personally, I think it's just plain UNpredictable.

Ups, which side is it?
Upside down, belly, tail?

Sorry, Eileen, I didn't mean to scare you, rather to make you laugh, tho' Tom is right, I am only telling the truth.

ok, gotta work now and then go to shops for wallpaper, and then another 5 hours work - long say today - I don't finish till 8.30

Good morning all.

Starbucks coffee is on.

Most of the tracking on Ivan shows it coming through Atlanta next weekend. Its Cuba today.

We were given tickets to the Braves-Expos game yesterday. Took our 4 year old grandson to his first baseball game. Had a great time.

Good morning to all, 1 more day and a wake-up and Bonaire here we come. I hope Dive Inn has out two appartments ready!! Air Jamacia is back in bussiness. I hope Cayman's weather the storm 1/2mile surge is bad news. Thank goodness for technology a few years ago hundreds of lives would have been lost during this Hurricane action the world has experenced. Back to work for now talk toya latter.
Ron

I am so glad Bonaire was spared most of the force of Ivan. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Caymans and Cuba. Is there any word on harm to reefs, sea life, etc. around Bonaire? Great to see the sunny pics back up!

divers going in

and Torsten, I think in the back: coming out!

found this one in the archive

smile....who is it?

diver is coming out


and beach cleaning!

and here on both cams

ok, I call this a day...
see you tomorrow

I pack up work
See you tomorrow folks!

Torsten

Ilona - GMTA

Have a good evening Torsten and Ilona.

Hey, did the run over the cable to the u/w cam?

The bulldozer on the beach is a strange site!!!

No wonder the chairs have not been put out yet!!!

Reef cam is blank!!!
What happened - did they cut a line!?!?!?

Not the blue screen of death...surely?

Hi Kathy!!! GMTA!!!

Hi Mary! I sure hope this was "intentionally" unplugged!

Good morning, everyone!

Here I go again, just getting up when Torsten and Ilona are headed home for bed!

Well, for those of you just getting up, anybody yet for a cup of coffee? Just finishing up one, myself.

Raining here, but I'm glad to see the sun still shines on Bon. Looks like cleanup is going along well.



And, "heigh ho, heigh ho, its off to work I go."

That's some RED sand!


Hey, I'm worried about the u/w cam. Has anyone tried to get ahold of Jake?

My first instinct here is that the bulldozer in the above pictures has severed the ReefCam cable. Crap.

Jake

Good morning/afternoon all! Finally got a chance to peek in and saw this. That woke me up!!

Time for a second thread.
