Good evening my loyal followers how is life in your part of the world??  And please feel to respond to that question!  My day was nothing but a blur, where oh where did it go??  For some crazy reason Aimee and I both got up at 5:30 this morning??  You know how it is, once your up, your up!!  I had a doctors appointment at 8:00, that lasted an hour and a half it takes forever here to get in to see your doctor.  I started the ball rolling today with getting my other eye operated on, it’s quickly clouding with a cataract.  Some of you remember I had my left eye done about two years ago and now after months of procrastinating I am biting the bullet and getting the other one done.  Also this time under anesthesia because I am not going thru that “being awake and having a needle stuck in my eye pain again” 
 
At 10:00 I  jumped on the bike and took off for an hour and a half ride in what seemed like hurricane force winds!  What normally takes me 25 minutes took me 40 today, it was very difficult!  I figured if I didn’t get out now even though it was hot and windy I wouldn’t have time later.  After arriving home I quickly changed, grabbed the dogs and took them to what we call the “dog beach” for a fun afternoon of chasing each other thru the sand and water. 
 
Your photo this evening is of Bonnie (front) and Chabelita swimming under the beautiful Curacao sun!  I never realized just how hard it was to take these split level pictures!  Trying to focus on the dolphins while having your head underwater holding your breath then trying to keep some sky in the photo with current and waves is not an easy task and proved to be a big challenge!!
 
I spent the rest of my day doing the weekly “honey do list”.  Have to run it’s dinner time!!  Barry
