Good morning all.
well, if you live in the Netherlands, snow is a special thing. Not often this much snow. So, enjoying it while it lasts.

Coffee will taste extra good. Downside of the snow: my new laptop should be delivered today here, but with this weather........keep hoping.

these people are awake very very early

Good morning, Stan. I'll join you for coffee. Gettin new toys is always fun. Sant brought me a new reg. Can't wait for my next trip. the water here is iced over.

Hi Guys, Mind if I fill my mug?

Stan hope your new lap top arrives. Such fun setting up a new tool. Check your e-mail.

Smack the water is only iced on the top;-{)}

Good Morning! 1st time here, so a quick introduction. I lived in Curacao from '74 - '83, and spent a lot of time in Bonaire then. I have only been back once since. I am sure things have changed a little since but I hear the diving is still incredible... I am now living in Germany, and like Stan is experiencing in Holland, it is snowing!

Welcome to Bonaire Talk Jan!

Yes Bonaire has changed a lot.

When it is cold here, those of us in the North East U.S. seem to visit the web cams a lot.

Again, welcome to the boards.

welcome Jan or....wilkommen.


clear view at Willy today... some little fish..
.
btw: still waiting for the delivery..

Thanks! It is "welkom" though, I am from Holland! Just living in Germany for the time being.

sorry Torsten and Ilona but: oef, gelukkig...

lol! That's why I wanted to make it clear Stan.

Good Morning Stan, Smack, Tom and a special welcome to Jan to BT!

Jan: I love your profile! Are all those precious dogs yours? I have a little Jack Russell and all she does is bounce 3' high: she is 11 years old and still jumping high!

Stan, hope your new computer arrives today.

Cold here again, but it is supposed to go into the mid fifties by end of week.

This looks too inviting! Beautiful day for Bonaire. Wish I was on there.

Welcome to BT Jan!

Good Morning Everyone! MMM, I am joining you for coffee this morning! We have 1 more family event to go to today and then it is relax time for us. 1 more day of eating, I am afraid to step on the scale.

Good morning Stan, Jan, Debbie Smack and Tom.
No snow here, but I wish. It will be 60's - up to 68 this week. To think of something good to motivate me this morning - it will be a short workweek, just 3 days and off again Friday. I can deal with that!

Good Morning Kathy!

What a beautiful day here!

Thanks again everyone! Debbie, yes they are! They bounce a little higher than 3', and knock you right over when they do...

Buenos Dias Everyone and hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Welcome Jan, love the dogs!! Do you breed them?

I had a great Christmas - Rafa and girlfriend came from Puerto Rico so we celebrated Christmas Eve with a wonderful dinner and lots of people who came over. I guess like everyone else we have eaten like crazy but that's what the holidays are all about.

Kathy, nice big family you have and the story about your husband's dad brought tears to my eyes. It is something you only hear on TV.

Debbie, everything was delicious and I still have leftovers. Muchas gracias/Thank you.

We are having nice weather - it is going to be like in the mid 50's - 60's through the week and weekend.

Enjoy the day and will try to come back later. Lots of work lately!!!!

Don't forget to

Hello Elvira! Glad you had a wonderful holiday!

Time for us to get ready, it will take awhile LOL! Have a great day everyone!

Hi Elvira, Eileen!
Looks like this guy has the cam show down to a "T".

Morning all! Jan, the dogs are wonderful! I love them!!! Hey everyone (at least in the US), remember the movie with Tom Hanks...Hooch... same breed of dog...would love to have one, but don't know what they are called and how to find them..
Debbie..can you believe that it is going to be 60°F on New Years Day here in NJ???!!!

Liz

Hi Liz!

Yeah, we just got two inches of snow on Sunday and a heat wave coming up! Fine with me, I don't like the cold at all. Strange weather, though. I hope all is going well with your PT and getting stronger every day, Liz. We're thinking of you and I just can't wait to meet you in February. We will have to do that dinner we have always talked about doing!

We got two guitars going on and an audience to boot!

Good day to all of you! Welcome Jan (nog een Nederlander!). Indeed very nice dogs...

Wonder what kind of song they are playing:

Liz,

I think Jan's dogs are mastiff's, a form of a boxer. Not sure, but looked in the web page and they sure look like them. Jan, if you read this, please let us know their correct breed. Debbie

My guess, that T is the TN Volunteer's (football) emblem - so country music?

Jan, I just visited your French Mastiff website. Lovely puppies, all of them. My favorite photos in your gallery were the boating captures.

Diver checking his watch

Still snowing like crazy here. Elvira, I am afraid we do not have the time to breed them, but we would certainly love to!
Liz, they are French Mastiffs or Dogue de Bordeaux, named after their color.

Good morning everyone. Beautiful dogs Jan, that is the breed my son if looking at getting. Liz hope the PT is going well. Weather is strange here in southeast Texas too, will be up in the high 70's by the weekend. Wish we were on Bonaire, PBD is bad right now. wonderful captures this morning. Love ya'll Andy

well, I am not saying a thing except......

great day at Bongo's

no red x, Stan? lol

Hello Everyone!!
Welcome Jan!! Your dogs are lovely - I enjoyed looking at your website!

Can't figure out what was happening here!?!?!? It looks like a dust storm underwater!!

Also found a fish belly in the archives!!

Liz - I hope your PT session yesterday was good - One down and 2 more to go this week - right!?!?

Elvira - sounds like a very special Christmas!!

OMG, Jan, I didn't even know of your website till Tom mentioned it. Your dogs pictures are fantastic. I enjoyed viewing them. They are such hams for the camera!

Hey Kathy,

The fins are back!

Kathy.. you beat me to posting the tail-diver combination

LOL, Debbie! It almost became a triple

Hi Debbie. Odd thing, the way it hangs around

Change of fins:

All the divers didn't stop to say Hi!

Hi Kathy, how's the diet going? Mine is tough today, I think the stomach needs to shrink a bit first so it won't grumble so much! he he he.

Hi Diana, Do you have snow?

After that post from Bongos I am sure that my husband will become an avid webcammer!!!

No... we live in the western part of the Netherlands and we only did have some rain Although I don't like winter temperatures, I don't like rain either...

Time to wish you all a great evening. I'll go to the horses for riding... Bye

Debbie, I'm starving. I've had a handful of almonds and that's it. Salivating thinking of a chicken salad for lunch. lol

Tami, sometimes they're totally naked! hehe Speaking of which, we are supposed to expecting a "moon" at the u/w cam this week.

Diana, that sounds like a lot of fun. Can just see you flying across a meadow with hair streaming and the horse's breath making a fog. Dang.

Jan, another webcam to watch! You'll have to let us know when you take the dogs out.

Diets? Diets? No, not til next week!!!!! I'm sitting here chuckling away because the 12:26:04 posting reminds me of the Coppertone comercial without the dog! OMG - what if it really a tan line!!

Speaking of moons, we missed the full moon the night of the 26th. found it

Gail, no fair on not dieting till next week!

Kathy, I know what you mean! LOL But I did try on my bathing suit and said OH BOY! Not ready yet. So, that is helping my cravings a bit. Hang in there, after all that good food over the week-end, it will take a few days for our stomaches to adjust to less. Nice to know I am not the only one trying to at least. Going on vacation is a great motivator. Walking on the beach will be better than this treadmill and a lot more scenic!

going up!

just the two of us....

I want to be on that sailboat!

Passing through

Huhhh, Kathy- if you go by your picture on your profile- YOU don't need to loose any weight- you look great!!
I went on Adkins yesterday- promptly gained a pound. Will have to stay away from the beachcam at least- but for sure am going to try to find the 'fishcam'!! only a month to go!! (But maybe I won't moon anyone- I heard a story about someone trying to do that and getting tangled up and somehow his weight belt fell off and he shot to the surface with his suit around his knees!!)

busy day at the beach!!
and dark clouds coming

Did a quick look through the archives and found some divers.



At least this guy decided to look at the camera!! Lately no one wants to come over and play

Hi Mary,

Did you check out how big his camera is? Looks like it is very heavy.

Hello everybuddy, welcome Jan.

Stepped in and saw this.

Found this in the archive.

Hi Debbie and Ilona!!

Looks like he came back for a closer look!!


Debbie - I don't know if I could manage carrying something around like that - it is BIG!!!

Ilona - I did not notice the sign was missing off the beach until I saw it appear under water!!LOL!!!

What are they doing?

Maybe they are trying to get it in front of the cam for us to see!?!?!?

Now a fish is trying to help them!!LOL!!

an underwater exhibition?

Hello Mary,
the second double You beat me

Ilona - there is one going on in front of Bongos - its at 40ft. There was a post a bit back explaining what was going on - I will try to find the link in a minute.

Ilona - here is the link to that thread! Hope it works! Its under Everything Else Bonaire!
http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/27/193748.html?1102786723

Ilona - GMTA times 2!!!LOL!!!

Wonder if the meant to have it at that angle!?!?

Wow, looks like I've been missing all the action! But...surely they're not going to leave the sign/art thingie sideways in front of the wreck!

darn...
it is still there!
And, I can't see Willy anymore! FREE WILLY!


well, guess this is something different....

Hello Mary,
thanks for the link (sorry, had a telephone call and could not answer)

Darkness is coming and the art thing is still in a special angle.


Bedtime for me.
Night night.

A bug on our tiny little sunset. lol

Nice captures today everyone! Too busy to peek in at all until well after dark on the left coast! Looks like the art work has made it to the underwater cam! Looking forward to peeking in more tomorrow, thanks to all for the posts!
