Beautiful morning on Bonaire.

rusty, shoes were made for the right and left feet? boy, never thought that they would have taken 1300 years plus to figure that one out! LOL!

Wouldn't you think, "Ouch, my toes hurt!" LOL

Strawberry Day

Stawberries are a member of the rose family and were grown in ancient Rome. The variety we know today comes from Northern Europe where it was a popular and prevalent fruit. Since the berries seem to be strewn among the leaves of the plant, they were originally named "strewberry". Farmers always took them to market on beds of straw, so the name was later changed to strawberry.

It's Tarpon Day!

Did you know:-

Listerine mouthwash makes for a good foot soak. The powerful antiseptic is good for getting rid of all those yucky things which can affect your toenails and feet. Annie B.

More action! Yippee!

Hey Rusty. They came back.

Those great minds...

Bleach is also very effective at ridding your feet of Athlete's Foot. You just soak them for a couple of days - take a break once in a while LOL and your feet will either fall off or heal up nicely.

I have to get outside for a bit - 80s and sunny today. Please keep an eye on the inmates for me, will you?

I have some good news here for a change.

Emma went back to the hospital today for her first check up since her treatment ended. They said they cannot see any sign of the tumour, but class her has being in remission now. Let's hope that it doesn't come back. She has to go again in another three months.

A big weight has just been lifted off our shoulders. Annie B.

Good News Annie. Phew! What a big sigh! I almost heard it right up here...

That's great news Annie!

Pa bien! (as they say here on Bonaire)
