a new look

Change is good. I thought I would change the 'look' of the blog... the black background was too much for me and perhaps you felt the same way.

I hope you like it.

A new day here is just unfolding. I was up early and watched the sky turn from pinkish grey to a light blue, the birds are chirping, the woodpecker is banging on the drainpipe (poor matt has to listen to that pecking every morning outside his bedroom window), the hummers have arrived at the feeder, the breeze is light and airy. oh breeze.... breeze thrills my soul these days. It is like heaven washes over me and for a brief moment the humidity and the heat is a distant memory.

I am not sure what this day will hold. Each day has a wonderful way of unfolding though. Bob drove a couple to the airport. People come to the island, they leave. I hope that some of you will come some day. i wish that it wasn't so far away and that it wasn't so expensive and that it wasn't such a long day's journey to get here. but you are welcome if you are so moved.

here is a teaser for you....to possibly lure you our way... :-)

pigeon cay

we moored the boat and went snorkling here.
it was stunningly beautiful

We went to barbaretta island and pigeon cay a couple of days ago with Don, Jeanette, Dave, Tracy, Kim and Jason . It is truly the most beautiful place on the island!!! The water was a blue that i have never seen before. It was truly the 'deep blue sea'... I was blown away!

yes the water was that blue!!!! the deep water makes it blue. wow wow wow!

Good news!! Matt and bob are now certified scuba divers.. congrats guys!!

Matt and Bob getting ready for a dive with their instructor, David

they also went on a shark dive. yes you read right. i don't have any pictures of the shark dive because well... of course.. i didn't go!!! (they have a video they may make it on here .. if I can figure out how to do that!) Unfortunately the water was very rough, the current strong so their stomachs were very unsettled! (i will spare you the details of HOW unsettled they were!) What an experience for them.

Bob only have 4 toes but he is okay with that. just kidding of course!

Have a blessed day.

rejoice, and again i say rejoice.. the Lord is near!!
