Good Morming Christine,

Not so nutty! Just tell your boss that there are a bunch of Bonaire fruitcakes all over the world singing along with you. "listen can you hear them?"

Soon to wake up to this....

Have a great time!

Bill

I agree with Bill. Not nutty at all. I am singing right now along with you. Can you hear me?

And soon you will be snorkeling in this...

Christine, I was touched on Wednesday when you said you would do a snorkel for me / take me with you for a snorkel.
I could almost feel myself in the water snorkeling as I read it. Thank you so much for the virtual snorkel I am about to have.


Have a wonderful, marvellous, fantastic time - as if it were possible not to.

LA LALA LA LA LALA LA LA LALALA LA LALA. I'm singing too. Annie B.

You'll soon be seeing tings like this Christine.


wonder who this chappie is.

We're all singing along with you Christine - just sang it to my husband! He thinks we're all kooky anyway!

"Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there!"

Thanks for the flag, Jake. It just didn't want to stay in one place, huh? Now we have Meryl's boid watching it for us.

Alice in Wonderland Day

Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a mathematician who lectured at Oxford in England. Wanting to remain anonymous when he published his fun tales, he made up a fake name. It's that name that is now famous - Lewis Carroll. He wrote four version of "Alice in Wonderland" (originally called "Alice's Adventures Underground"). The story was first published in July, 1865, and has been a favorite of all ages ever since. ~hicards.com

Anxiety Day
Venezuela Independence Day
Algeria Independence Day

Have a great trip Christine, singing is much to important to leave to the professionals.

It's a little slow on the cams today, here's a couple of shots from Monday's dive. The first is a brood of Large Mouth Bass, the second is daddy bass who was not happy about a diver taking pictures of his children.

morning all!!!! Cecil it looks like two coral trolls in the first picture....Is it me?

Cecil! Fun pix - I love Large Mouth Bass! Had a huge one in a tank at the aquarium and he was great for hand feeding minnows to. What a gape on him! The schoolkids loved watching. I see them a lot at Salt Springs in FLA - but they won't come to Cheez Wiz. LOL Maybe it's because the punkinseeds crowd him out!
