Here's Satchmo to provide the accompaniment!

great timing, but then, he IS a musician.

That, or a standup comedian! Got locked up - was hoping the pix got there first.

here's a couple visitor shots

Rusty, you asked about the pods on the Tabibua tree. here's a shot of them

Here's Jim's cactus bed (he's a cactophile) and some of our tomatos.

I have to go now. I'll check back later (if we don't get another storm).

I can't believe you are so far ahead of us - the tomatoes can't even go in here for at least a month and that's taking a chance on frost. Memorial Day is the usual planting time!

The Tabibua does look like the catalpa family - with that downy fluff inside the pods!



Is that a monster Opuntia? and a Crown of Thorns? Fabulous! When I was in college I found a prickly pear growing on campus near here - next to a wall of the college power plant. Who'd have thought they could survive this far inland?

Is this our barracuda?

Visitors:

Isn't that nice? They said HI to us!

Still waiting for Grendel to come kiss them!

Good afternoon Chatters!!1 Hard morning here went to work at 6am and just got home... Have to go back out to do more chores soon but decided to stop in and see whats happening. Looks like you all have it under control.. Lol

OK see you later!! Keep up the good work, should be home by 3BT

Hi! Bye!

It's Laundry Day around here! Whoop-de-doo!

Couple more factoids for April 4th: (Thanks for the Iwon.com link, Cindy)



1960 - Elvis Presley recorded "Are You Lonesome Tonight."

1968 - Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at the age of 39.

1974 - Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth's home-run record with 714.

Poor MonkeyBoy - she's buried under a pile of bananas! Cynde says HOWDY!

Hiya guys.... or should I say 'Honey I'm home' LOL

Had a hard time with computers, and then busy with work, and Easter, and more work. Got to get those pennies in so I can come to Bonaire.

And lo and behold the day I decide, 'this is enough, I haven't even logged on' what do I find? When I find you that is, it is Dancing Day. How wonderful!!!

Jenni! Hi, I was thinking of you when I saw the dancers in Meryl's post first thing this morning! Been dancing, lately? Quiet afternoon underwater but you never know when we'll have visitors.

Hey Jenni, wondered where you were. Welcome back.

Well, I had to make an emergency run to Tampa. Jim called from work and I had to go get him. He hit an old guy on a motorcycle and bashed in the front of the truck. Both of them are ok, but the truck looks worse than the bike. Thank goodness it was one of those BIG BMW bikes, probably saved the guy's life, but it sure did a job on the Ranger. Jim went next door to Nurse Nona for some drugs to knock him out for a while. He's pretty shook up. Poor Baby!!!

I bet that couple up there is Chuck and wife. I told him he had to check in with us. Linda, can you check the book, please?

He's the one asking about the web list of things to do on Bonaire.

Hi Rusty. Yes, we went dancing Good Friday night, Easter Saturday night, and Easter Monday night.

We gave Sunday night a miss, cos we were tired, and watched TV and slept. Probably did us as much good too!
Since we switched last weekend to European Summer Time, or as we used to call it British Summer Time, there are 5 hours difference between the UK and Bonaire. According to my diary the US had daylight saving this coming weekend, will the difference revert to 4 hours?

Thanks, Cindy. Blimey, sure sounds awful what happened with Jim. I'm not suprised he's shook up. Poor Jim!

I don't think Bonaire does the daylight savings thing. I remember last year it was the same time here and Bonaire and we're usually an hour behind them.

His only physical damage is the left hand where the airbag got him. That's why I always hold my steering wheel at the bottom. I've read those things can break your wrist if you hold the wheel in the traditional 10-2 position.

He's up now, so I'd better run. ttyl

Cindy, Wish Jim well! He must be shocked by the accident. Thankfully they both are more or less OK.

According to me there is no DST on BON.

Wow I miss a few hours and Jennies back, Rusty's gone because she can't get back on to BT, Martins here and Poor Jim has an accident!!I hope he is ok..he'll probably feel the real effects tomorrow!!! Anything happening on the cams??



NOPE

this guy looks as if he needs a dance partner..

Ya put your right foot in.....

it actually looks as if the car moved without him hummm...

Ah ha... Jake is TOO SEXY for his shirt!!!!

Must be having a heat wave.

LOL, I didn't even think of that one Freddie.

I think Jim's heading into depressed mode now. Say a prayer for me guys. That means moody and glum, no talking. sigh, it's going to be a long night.

Getting kinda busy around the street cam

Sorry to hear about Jim, Cindy, and I know how MEN can be when they are out of commission, I wish you all the best and you both will be in my prayers..

Bring him a rock.. that should make him happy!!!

oh, maybe it's just the drugs that nurse Nona gave him kicking in. I've gotta head out and pick beans. The garden waits for noone and I'm the harvester. I'll try to get back for sunset.
hold down the fort Freddie. maybe Rusty can log back on soon.

sorry to hear about jim cindy...poor guy...i actually had 5 minutes today to catch up and open a couple of threads! i miss you guys:-(

Freddie You're right, maybe fondling a rock will help. LOL Actually, that's how I know he's depressed. He hasn't turned on the rock saw or checked on the garden. maybe I should call Nona & find out what he's on.

Hi Cynde Lee, We miss you too!!!

hey Cynde, I've been trying to post pics on the other side for you. Been a bad couple of days here for that. When do you leave for Charleston?

What does one send a Geologist to get well???

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille....

Man of the hour!!!!


Thanks Jake!!!

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille....

Okay - I seem to be a day late and a dollar short today - I think I'll go home...have a good one!
