Welcome to my virtual Holiday bash. Someone bring the eggnog

I volunteer

Rained last night. Today high tide about noon.
By Christmas it'll be the dry season. The ocean water is always warm.
Anyone for a swim?

I'd love to swim! Count me in

I love to swim in the warm saltwater.
One of lifes great pleasures, count me in.

You're both IN!

We need a bonfire on the beach tonight

And fireworks!
Veggie soup cooking in slow cooker. Fresh cilantro,chilies. Garlic potatoes carrots,onions that were cooking for an hour in butter. I bring a special concentrate chicken broth.
Bring something from your garden or pantry!

I'll bring some gluten free pasta for me and regular pasta for those who eat gluten. Can't wait to try the soup.

I'm running for the warm ocean water. Ahhhh!

(I wish I could come to your farm ranch for real.)

Excellent. Gluten-free. I'll be all over that.

Funny. I just posted about the gluten-free veggie soup. Yeah, can you share a bit of the gluten-free pasta?

Party is open. Airfare from most USA cities about$400.

Don't tempt me LOL, its freezing here.

Of course, help yourself.

I'm grilling the shrimp while drinking a frosty Corona.
Who wants shrimp?

Load me up, high and deep.

Shrimp please! Did you catch it yourself?

Not this time, I picked them up at the fish market not far from
Ocean Swimmer's house, they are very fresh and caught today by a local.
I will catch some fish later this evening and grill those up for everyone.
Also I picked up a lot of fresh veggies that are going on the grill with
the fish tonight.

Mmmmm, shrimp!

What's up? Who wants to get lei'd? These are fresh from the Hawaiian flower vendor down the lane. Mele Kalikimaka, my friends.

There are about 25 varieties of fresh flowers growing right now on the ranch.
Yes. Fishing fool- the shrimper boats come in weekly and you can buy their catch on the beach.
The little boats the locals use are called pangas. The regular catch is Red Snapper. Yum. Delicious in cerviche.
Or grilled on the Barbie.
Leied- ya man. I be ready.

The photo of the shrimper boat coming into the bay is on Fishing fool's Saltwater Living group.
I'm just lei-ing around watching the tide come in this afternoon.
My kittys are finally getting along, pretty much. Ones snoozing on the couch with me. The other one is napping in my bed.
Anyone up for a snooze?

Oops. Just started raining. Not too worry. There's a roof over the pool.
Reminds me of the holiday song-" oh the weather outside is frightful!"

The monkeys are here! I've got loads of trees to keep them dry. They like the mango grove
