You're welcome, ladies ...

We have a coastal flooding and a high surf warning for 3 days in a row. Is the first high surf warning in our history. The news people sent the Island to the beaches. On Wednesday they said that the buoys at St. Thomas where registering 17 feet waves. It was a matter of wait 8 hours to get them here. Plenty of time to grab a camera and head to the beach to watch as I and many more did.

The ocean started to recede today. A complete disaster for the tourists. All the hotel beaches were closed for the week. I truly don't like these "first time" waves... I beliece that global warming has a lot to do with them.

Mar, if you have the opportunity to go to Florida, go for it. Is warm and pretty.

OMG, Diana, I can't believe you went down there. Well, I know you couldn't resist the opportunity to get those pictures, But please don't scare me like that. What sort of warning was made to draw crowds in like that? You could have been trampled in a panic.


Thanks for the pictures, they are awesome. So glad you are alright.

WOW Diana, I have never seen a wave like that. It is so scary to see something coming that big. I'm just glad you are OK. Right now I'm trying to decide where and if we want to move. A lot depends on if I passed the teacher's test, if we are going to go full day with benifits and really what the landlady wants to do with the house. Do to some problems with officials and budgeting our taxes are going to go up the max that they can. One day at a time. My nephew just moved to Fla so we may go visit him on the Gulf Coast and see what's there this summer. Also on if Dan gets his promotion and can transfer down. After my mom died I find myself still not seeing old friends as much as I thought I would.

The truth is that the white in the photo aren't clouds. That's the big wave, kind of a tsunami that flooded the area damaging buidings. The road is still closed. The coastal flooding was the worst in more than 50 years. I sent both photos to the Weather Channel.
This is the one I took seconds before when the wave was forming. Same area, no clouds. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/Naufrage/2008-03-2001.jpg

Diana, as much as a water lover I am I would not go near that water. Bun I did see the face in the clouds right away. I love looking at that stuff. We are having high winds today gusting to 50 mph. I decided to just stay in as we have no school and next week off. Dan is still sick but going to work. It's that cough. I finally am couging a lot less and can breathe again. I was going to get some egg dye today and dye some eggs but I'll go tomorrow and get that stuff. We are staying put Easter and declined all offers with both under the weather. Dan wanted turkey so I got a turkey breast to cook for Sun. A whole turkey would go to waste now it's just the 2 of us. Well got to get my spinache lasagne roll ups out of the oven and put in some crescent rolls so he can eat before work. (OK The lasagne was frozen and I just had to add sauce) Hope everybody that celebrates Easter has a good, peaceful day.

WOW freaky picture Diana! Did you notice the face in the background clouds???
Muhahahahahahaha

I like Fiestas!!! Happy Kilt Day.

We are "enjoying" coastal floods and a lot of marine warning because to a winter storm that is up north in the Atlantic. Yep, people went to the beach and risked their lives watching the ocean too close to confort. Yep, I went too, but I wasn't that brave (or idiot), I watched from the back of the hundreds of crazies that ran for their lives when the high tide sent a tsunami like wave crashing into the road. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/Naufrage/000_0092.jpg

I am not surprised. Line dancing and jigs have a lot in common. Not so strange to us country folks with Appalachia connections. Shoot, we grew up on Scots and /or Irish. But to hear the two tell it, they have no more in common than night and day. LOL Hatfields /McCoys. Thankyou DOCKHA. we should get together.

this feud is the American version ofRomeo and Juliet

A beanie!!! Not a tam, oh my.

When Mr. Ray comes and playes his bagpipes he wears a kilt and the kids get a kick out of Mr. Ray in a "skirt"! I was one of those Catholic School girls (grammer school only) and had the blue/green plaid skirt with the vest when you got to 7th and 8th grade and the beanie for your head to go to church back when you HAD to wear something on your head in church.

I think I'll do a highland fling all on my own right now.. I hear bagpipes.

My own heritage is Scots, our plaids our the Stuarts. Loved this.
I'm posting a related joke in "we laugh"
Thanks, Connery is IT for me. Too bad Hubby isn't home right now, He'ld enjoy my gut level response even(especially) if I didn't clue him in where it came from. YUM.

"Great day in the mornin'!"
...maybe this will catch on

LOL!!! I hear that! My daughter goes to a private school that requires them to wear those plaid pleated skirts. The girls learn quickly to wear those tight knit workout-type shorts under their skirts. (Well, some don't. There are a few in every school, if you know what I mean.)
