Our first Banana plant
flowered this last weekend.
I'm not sure how long it will
take to grow the fruit but
Tammy is looking forward to
trying them.
This is
Brady
the
banana
hound.

We had Felisha over for the weekend. It was her
15th  B-Day, so we had  Madisa spend the night
Friday, and we made pizza and watched movies.
(Flisha woke her up a little earlier than she wanted I
think) Then we all went to the PIC (Pacific Islands
Club) to enjoy a day at the pool on Saturday, flying
down the slides and tubing down the lazy river for a
few hours.
Saturday evening,  we ate her triple chocolate cake
and we  gave Felisha a Ukulele that she asked for.
She played it the rest of the weekend when she
wasn't playing with the Wii.
She is a great kid and we really enjoy having her
around the place.
She laughs a lot and makes us feel young again!
She loves the Chamorro and Rasta music.
She loves the pool too!

Grotto today.

Well, Spring is here and it's the dawn of a
new season. Soon we will be shaking off
those cold Winter nights and using the pool
more. The weather has been pretty cool, so
Tammy does not get in the pool much!
IT IS WINTER YOU KNOW!

A little Sushi on the patio for
dinner. It's cheaper than
McDonalds!

Tammy and I went to check out a
replica 1500's Chinese war Junk
that has been sailing the pacific. It
was interesting. We may dive with
the Captain tomorrow.

The Captain of the Princess
Taiping,
Ning Shen Liu, or Nelson which is
a lot easier to pronounce!
He joined us for a Grotto dive and
I think by looking at the photos,
he had a great time!

Love this  Silhouette shot of
Nelson at the Grotto

Tammy met Vienna at work. She is on
island for the Summer while going to

has been out with us every weekend

Beach. Just click the pic to see

Elizabeth and Isabel to cool off in the pool
for a bit.
08/14/09

It's Judy's Birthday so we needed
to celebrate just a little. After
some drinks and sushi we headed
out to dinner.

We also watched Atsuko's
performance at the Sydney opera
house before we headed out.

are not so good but tonight the food
was great.

around looking for critters. Click the

Tammy and I did the Grotto today. We

amount of current so we went to the
right out to the second boulder and
then drifted back to the left hole.

Ray that was
headed out
deep.

and dealt with Winter Ice.

with coffee and treats from
Santa followed by a dive and
dinner with friends.

take some getting used to
but so far I like it.

And so the year ends. It was
another good one for
Tammy and I and we are
