Hi, all.

And -Beth, I so wanna party with you! Have a great time!
Ooh, Alex, where're ya goin' for the cider & doughnuts? I'm so there!
Thinking of you all. Just hangin' out here.

Hey Crew

Yep... looks like the Black Pearl needs a bit of an overhaul a?
So... BEAgle... you are in charge of lining up the crew, handing out new uniforms and ensuring they are fitting correctly!

Sunshine yellow for the gals


White and Blue for the boys


K " raise the anchor, hard over Alex, I’ve been adrift and “yawing”- it is not becoming - ..... hoist the sails, tie the sheets and let’s set sail...

So... here we go. We’ve got a new pin aboard and.... rolls drums... <BEAgle, that’s the bosun’s job... drum rolling>... the first pin goes to.....

Vegemite.... for doing so well in establishing herself with Teach India and making her mark. Good for you Little One...




Now... missy " what’s happening with that arm of yours???? How’s your PaPa doing? I am thinking of you.

Dev...you too - you still got the tiara on... you’d better!!!!

Babbling... love you... hugs to you and Baby Noah and family.... always xox

WytVi " worried about you " you’re onshore somewhere and we need you back here as soon as you can.

BLUE..... yooooo hoooooooo to yooooooooooou..... can yer get bahookie back in the nest..... we’re requiring some direction out of the choppy waves mate! Thankeee. I miss you. X



Indeedee - where're you at???

FQsis... we need to be at the helm together girl " soon " I’ve been teetering on your heels babe " so let’s make sure we do what we said in a few weeks and hit good ‘ole London town. I miss you sis. Could do with a bit of Joseph methinks......I am in need of a dream..... mine has faded.

I’m also in need of a body if anyone has a little one to spare. Mine is failing me right now " it makes me grumpy ! Any body to spare would be appreciated. Male or female... I’m not fussy " just one that works please.

So.... onto another day....

for all the crew near and far - hugs to each and everyone one...




Where are we sailing to????????????????????

Lovin’ y’all " you are the Best.




BEAgle... I said check they fit right.... hands off Brookes bahookie!!!!

yep... one eyed jack is here!!!!

HA! Watchin' that I found this:

Tiara's still on. Might be a bit crooked though!

HA.... loved the end of that.... floating psycho ward.... am so laughing..... and I know I shouldnt be...

straight face now...



Dev... try and go for a walk hunni.... grab hubby by the hand and try and get out... not to go somewhere, just to get out. If it's raining - look up and feel the rain... if it's cold... wrap something warm around you... try to get out if you can.

I gotta go bed... work in the morning - tho I don't know if sleep will be coming my way. Might try Beths knitting... knit one, purl one, knit one, purl one.

Take care girlie. xxxx hugs x

No matter how rough the seas ......these new sails are guaranteed smooth sailing. Made especially for you, Iz. So from now on, no matter how choppy things get ..... the crew will just float gracefully along. Finding peace and comfort in simple things. ( Like those naked men on shore, wavin' those flags)







Noah gives Dutchy a disgusted look....... Ewwwwwwww I just saw you grab Aunt Brookies butt. Grown-ups are just too weird! Too dang weird, I tell ya!


(((((((( Crew )))))))))

PS- Keep that beautiful spirit of yours, Izz. Many thoughts and prayers for things to be better for you.

xoxoxoxox


( Check your email this week, Dev )

Brooklyn, Mr Noah is beautiful...

Thank you Captain for trusting me to fit the crew with new outfits, something right up my alley taking the vital measurements of all you gals, just make your way to the bosun's cabin. One by one.

Beagle busy preparing a BBQ for the family tonight, they will be landing here later on this afternoon (holiday weekend here) and am really looking forward to that.

Missing a few of the regulars here and hope they will show up shortly, I know a few are struggling, but remember this is the place to unwind and have a bit of fun.

Well my hearties I see you in my cabin. Hugs and paws to you all.

ps. Brooke, are you sure it was your butt?

Rock......awwwwwww thank you! He sure is beautiful!

Dutchy......Well, Noah seems to think so. We won't tell him any different.

Oh, Brooke - He is so precious! Thanks for showing him off to us (even if Dutch- has him disgusted!)

I'll be checkin' my in box, girlie! Hope you are well - and the same of the rest of you.
Mis- hasn't been on today, has she? Wondering how she is ... & wv...
Night, Iz- ... I'll try to take your advice.

Hi Dev, good to see you, are you taking your turn after Brooke to get measured?
Still waiting for you to play a few games with me, miss the challenge. Hope you had a good weekend.

Hi to all,

Luv that pic of Noah Brooke. Laughed at Dev's clip. Nice to see the crew all in good spirits. Working hard here clearing and burning whilst we can and had a very, very busy weekend with three grandkids whilst mamas had a weekend away. Now I think I need one. Beagle - you be careful where you measure!! Hugs to everyone.

Good to see you, DeeDee. Long time, no see methinks!
Oh, and Dutch-, let me get a good work out (or more) and let me starve myself for a bit & I'll be right over!
I'll try to see what I can do about getting back on the threads with ya, 'k?

Hi Dev, that clip made me laugh. Hope you and hubby are well.

I'm here. Gosh...Sundays are crazy - the good Lord (and I know all of you aren't on board with me here - but I know you love me anyway) called this a day of rest and it is just SO NOT! We are up and at Church by 8:00am. The Prof teaches Sunday School. Then we are home to eat lunch quickly and up at the ball park for G-baby's game. Then home to rest for an hour before we are back up at the church for an hour before we have to be at the ball park for the game -

by the way - J - my oldest by 2minutes - pitched for the first time tonight. He struck out his second batter. And jumped up and down on the pitchers mound...adorable...absolutely precious. Oh and...he got up on the mound and would look at all his base runners, his brother S was catching - so he would get on the mound, look intently at his brother and shake off a imagined signal (we haven't gotten that far yet) then wind up and let her rip. Wiff...wiff...wiff...WOOHOO! excellent this game of baseball - I must say.

Then I had to leave to teach my Sunday night first graders - whom I ADORE. Then home and feed and bathe and to bed. And I am pooped. Sundays are exhausting.

OKAY - Noah...could he be any cuter? Oh Brooke...all the sweet sugar you must be getting off that precious baby boy! Makes me want to have another one....sorta. If I weren't so damn tired.

Dev...thank you sweety..I will be in touch tomorrow - cross my heart...
thinking of you Iz...
hugs to RH and JPB and Dutchy.
Proud of you VBV! I know you will be great.
Want to hear all about it Beth.
DeeDee - so glad to see you here hun. Hope all is well with you and yours (hugs)

I am going to bed
good night!
hugs,
mis

Try - where the hell are you? I KNOW - it's Sunday and I'm cussing like a sailor ..heh heh heh!

Goooooooooood Afternoon...

What a fab roll call.... so many crew jumping aboard...

Now we just need to sail around and the rest can jump aboard when we reach their port!

So... BROOKLYN " just look at that strong handsome bub.... Baby Noah is just goooooorgeous " oh, to smunch his wee cheeks would be bliss " please give him a cuddle from Aunty Iz " love him, Kimmie and Rob must be so proud of him... as must all the family. How precious he is. Thanku so much for sharing your pics with us... blessed..... very blessed.

And such the perfect ship girlie.... a butterfly ship....

Did you know...

<wiki>

The Ancient Greek word for "butterfly" is ψύχη (psȳch?"), which primarily means "soul", "mind".

In some old cultures, butterflies also symbolize rebirth into a new life after being inside a cocoon for a period of time.
Some people say that when a butterfly lands on you it means good luck.

The butterfly is a reminder to make changes when the opportunity arises. Change and transformation are inevitable for us all, but it does not have to be traumatic. Butterfly symbolism is also closely tied to the idea of spirits and souls. It has been used in many religions and cultures. In the western world, the symbol of the butterfly stands for freedom, fun and joyous times. It is also symbolises a state of naturalness and purity.
And finally.....

American Indian Butterfly Legend
As a gift to His human children, the Great Spirit created butterflies. He took black from the maiden's hair, yellow from the warm summer sun, and blues from the lake and sky. Once he gathered the most beautiful of colors, He made them into butterflies.

If you want a special wish to come true, capture a butterfly and whisper your heart's desire to it. Since butterflies make no sound, they cannot tell the wish to anyone but Him. Being so colorful, the butterflies will easily be seen and the heart's prayers quickly answered.

By making a wish and releasing the butterfly, it will be taken on the wings of love to the heavens and granted. Softly whisper your wish for their eternal love and bliss, then carefully release and free the beautiful creature.

So there’s some happy thoughts for the day... thanku to our Brooklyn .... and Baby Noah.

Nice to see photos of baby Noah. The earlier photo of Dutchy with his grandchildren was rare but wonderful.

I hope you are okay, Izzie. Two of my older children, Katrina and Jeremy, now live and work in Los Angeles. Nathan is away at college but still here in Illinois. Eight year-old Annie is proving to be a good student in third grade.

Hey Noah looks great, what a handsome fella! Just right to join our Ark!
