As you may have gathered from the previously posted pics, Kelly's birthday bash was quite the BT affair

Oh, and on to Yana girls birthday bash....

Yana was somehow coerced by Liz to get a tattoo!

The Bongos dinner was yummy as usual with Oliverio cooking his usual combo of chicken satay, barbecue chicken, beef strips and salads

Martin missed the birthday bash but not the cross dressing!

We delivered some clothing and other supplies to the Maria Hoppner boys who loved the cameras!

Lots of other group dinners were had including Gibi's, Casablanca, Swiss Chalet and La Guernica - posing for pics with the crowd was an everyday affair!

And what can I say about the diving? We had the fortune of diving some south side spots with Susan Porter, Salt Pier with Roger Burnham and his wife, lots of spots with Tom & Smack and a couple of Klein dives with Climo from Wannadive!

Awe Babs, great pics! I turned my cheapo one time cameras in yesterday, so will get those back in about a week. It was certainly a whirlwind trip with lots of things to do with great friends, and some great diving

Glad to hear a good time was had by all. I hope the PBD isn't too bad.

Oh, and I really need to add that if you're up for a no dive day snorkel, Renee is the best! We saw a great group of Porcupine puffers...one 2 1/2 to 3 feet long (yes, sounds like a fish story, eh?) and a gorgeous group of rainbow parrot fish, several octopus, etc at Sorobon! I'm hoping Darlene will post some pics! (hint, hint)

And now I'm waiting for Tom to post the pics of the Deity flowers he found for me!
|
By Cyn Loo Hoo (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #14860) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 3:19 pm: |
Babs, yes, and the crown...took Tom and (I) almost a week to finally find flowers! The lady said that he was lucky to find them, they were from Rincon, did he tell you that? Tom is such a great guy and sweetheart for not giving up! LOL!

By Ruth van Tilburg (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #435) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 5:19 pm: |
Is she still making everyone bow or curtsey when granted an audience?
|
By Your Babsness (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #10079) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 5:34 pm: |
LOL Ruth! How did you sneak out of all the photos at La Guernica anyway? I told Cynde a stuffed pink seahorse would do instead of flowers after they struck out with the flowers!
|
By Your Babsness (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #10084) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 6:53 pm: |
Oh, and I did have a vision of Tom's aversion to eels
|
By Cyn Loo Hoo (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #14875) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 7:21 pm: |
Babs, he needs to be in his scuba gear...tee hee...

By Back to Jeanine, or is it Tribs? (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1216) on Sunday, October 23, 2005 - 7:22 pm: |
Hey Babs! These are great...nothing like really being bummed about not being on island for the October group! Glad you had so much fun. Any more terrific photos?
|
By Greta (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1130) on Monday, October 24, 2005 - 12:08 am: |
Great shot of Tom in the mouth of the eel. That should give him the hibi-gibis.

Babs, great pictures !! I'm sorry I missed the second half of your trip though... wahhhhh... sounds like great diving!

By Your Babsness (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #10101) on Thursday, October 27, 2005 - 11:12 pm: |
Thanks Tommy! I can't believe how dedicated you and Cynde were in searching for flowers! Big hugs, buddy! I think everyone in the shot looks marvelous...well, Martin may have been a bit jealous cause he didn't get to wear the crown for this shot!
|
By Cyn Loo Hoo (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #14960) on Friday, October 28, 2005 - 10:54 am: |
You're welcome Babs I think Martini was a bit jealous;-)
|
By Debbie Babcock (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2384) on Friday, October 28, 2005 - 11:30 am: |
Really nice picture of you and crew, Babs! It's amazing how Bonaire just makes us "smile"! Well, Martini may have felt lost without his gadgets! LOL
|
By Gail Thomas (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #726) on Friday, October 28, 2005 - 7:13 pm: |
Hey, Don't pick on Martin! He has a VERY pleasant moderate smile in that pic..... - perhaps Angela is the only one who can coax out a BIG bursting smile!
|
By Mare (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1152) on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 11:39 am: |
Who's picking on Martin!!!
|
By Your Babsness (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #10112) on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 12:17 pm: |
LOL Mare, missed you two at the Thonga bash but that makes up for it!
