Good Morning everyone! (OK, not quite Wednesday yet here...)

But I am saying Hello and Goodbye for a couple of days. It will be a few days before I will get the internet back. I wish you all a great rest of the week! I hope everyone's holiday plans are coming along well! See you all soon!!! :-)

By Julia Graves (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1036) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 4:22 am:

We'll be thinking about you Eileen. Hope it all goes well.

By Annie (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #16020) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 5:34 am:

Good luck with the move Eileen. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

By Kathy Hall (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #7268) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 7:22 am:

Good morning. :-)

Hoping everything goes smooth in the move, Eileen!

Good Morning Eileen, Julia, Annie, Kathy & All to Follow :-)

Eileen - good luck with the move. See you soon :-)

By Debbie Babcock (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4817) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 8:30 am:

Good Morning, Eileen, Julia, Annie, Kathy, Judy and all who join in!

Eileen, See you in a few days, wishing you the best for your move. :-)

By Debbie Babcock (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4818) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 8:34 am:

Kathy, in your 7:12:22 shot, it kinda looks like a little ray! Well, that is what I am going to think it is anyway...

By Lisa Barclay (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1323) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 8:56 am:

Good morning everyone! Eileen good luck with the move. We moved a week before Christmas one year. We moved about two hours away from friends and family and Ashley was one and Kyle was three. It was stressful but everything turned out just fine. You are in my thoughts!

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2334) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 9:11 am:

Good Morning Everyone!! :-) :-)

Eileen, you and the family are in our thoughts as well :-) :-)

Is this another cruise ship on the horizon???

Chair for our Guitar Man and a pod out there heading for our favorite destination!!

By Gail Thomas (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1704) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 9:48 am:

Quite a crowd here already! :-) Good morning everyone! I hope it means you've all made good progress on your holiday tasks and have a little free time! :-) I'm enjoying my week off.

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2335) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 10:29 am:

Hi Gail and Annie!! :-) :-)

Here's one for Blue Harley...

Unfortunately, it's yellow, but I'm sure Blue will understand!!

Gail - no such luck!! I've just been taking (too long of) a break before I start. Today is "Cookie Madness Day". I have 5 lbs of butter on the counter that will become about 400 Shortbreads by the end of the day!!!

I'd better get at it, or I'll be cookieing into the wee hours of tomorrow!! :-) :-)

:-) Bill :-)

Merry Christmas, Eileen. Just think, you won't have to move things out of the way for the Christmas tree!

Superturtle, I wish we could share some of the shortbread. Yum! I see you're doing your part to spread the holiday cheer!

:-) Break Time!! :-)

Just got the first batch - 68 of them in the oven!!

Yes, Christine, they go in all directions, these cookies :-) :-)

I'm hoping I might even have a chance to drop some in on an unsuspecting BTer on the move - hopefully tomorrow :-) :-)

But, I'd still rather be here - with these two!!

:-) Bill :-)

By Roy Wickham (NYBTB) (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1350) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 1:45 pm:

Hello All, Good luck with the move Eileen :-)

Bill, I can smell those cookies here in Germany :-)

hmmm a bit of a blurred yellow fish..

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2337) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 1:54 pm:

Hi Roy!! :-) :-)

Yes, another break!! 2 more trays in the oven, and now I have to let my poor mixmaster cool down :-( I think I'm expecting too much from it.
But, it will survive, with a little TLC :-) :-)

Roy - looks like a small sail on this board. Training sail???

:-) Bill :-)

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2338) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 1:55 pm:

I have 54 days 3 hrs and 15 minutes till Bonaire time taking a group of 24 people who are on count down if you could help me out I would appreciate it.

Don't think I've 'met' you before!! Welcome to BT!!! :-) :-)

Got lost... Hmmmmm I bet is near the water, toward the northern stretch of beach, and was probably Bobbe Jans Take Away!!

Fantastic Ribs, Satay to die for, and even better barbecued chicken!! Sound familiar???

Only about ........

24 DOZEN so far, Loo Hoo!!!

And still more to come!!!

Have to let the mixer cool down, and then I'll be at it again!!

And, Mrs. T is bringing home more butter!!

Figure a pound of butter is good for between 5 and 6 dozen........

LOTS OF CHRISTMAS CHEER!!!

And I have to stay away from them :-( Had to sample one today, because it broke when I was trying to get it onto a plate.

:-) Bill :-)

By Lisa A. (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1860) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 6:15 pm:

Mmmmmmmmm ... Bill you've got me drooling all over my keyboard. Anyone have a towel?

sunset begins

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2343) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 6:59 pm:

OY - Turn around and wave at us!!!

Getting dark downtown, and here at home, too!!

But still light enough to see a fish!!

And the beach still looks VERY inviting

Almost time for me to go. I have one batch of cookies in the oven to get out, and then I can think about dinner :-) :-)

And after dinner, time to start packing the cookies into containers for my "visits" tomorrow :-) :-)

If I don't get back tonight, be safe, and have a peaceful night!! :-)

:-) Bill :-)

Yeah, well..... :-) :-)

Found this just now......

Moonrise over Lac Bay

Just putting in time til dinner - Cabbage Rolls are warming up in the microwave!!

And now to see if I can resize a photo and get it up over on one of the CC threads.... something about Christmas Pictures!! :-) :-)

:-) Bill :-)

By Gail Thomas (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1708) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 7:40 pm:

Well Bill, You wouldn't be proud of me. Kira and I have a sheet of cookies in the oven too, but I bought them already in round shapes with the decorations and icing in the package! I guess I'm just a modern Grandma! :-)

By Annie (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #16023) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 7:47 pm:

Cookie maker Bill. I hope you booked an early flight for tomorrow :-) I think you should share your recipe with us.

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2345) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 7:52 pm:

I have already shared my recipe, Annie :-) :-) :-)

It's over in CC ..... there was a thread about favorite holiday recipes.

AND, I'm going to see if I can 'share' the cookie joy with our BTer on the move!! I have the address, and am ready to don my Elf Hat!!! :-) :-)

:-) Bill :-)

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2346) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 7:54 pm:

:-) Really nice flickie, as always, Annie!!! :-)

:-) Bill :-)

By Annie (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #16024) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 8:21 pm:

Oops! Thanks Bill, found it and printed it off. I do forget to go to that other place lately. I am like Gail, and generally just buy all the required stuff from the supermarket. Online of course :-)

By Superturtle (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2348) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 8:35 pm:

:-) :-) Glad you found it, Annie!!! :-) :-)

Now, take a wander back into CC

IT WORKED!!! :-) :-)

In Cynde's Holiday pictures thread, I finally resized the picture of our front garden!!!

WOOHOO!!!

Happy Turtle!!! :-) :-)

:-) Bill :-)

By Annie (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #16025) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 9:07 pm:

Bill. Might have known that you would have trains instead of Santa's sleigh. LMHO. See ya tomorrow. I'm off to bed.

By Judy Trafford (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2842) on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 10:06 pm:

I'm slipping - just started Christmas shopping & swore I wouldn't do this, AGAIN! Next year I'm going to start in September (but I say that every year).
Great captures today & great cookies too!
Thanks for the flicky, Annie
