“The ocean is calling,” wrote John as he dictated his latest underwater adventures.  I could hear the waves lapping the shore as he did so, and the occasional cry of the gull.

Can you spot the flounder in the sand?

The parrot fish sleeping in a bubble is the beautiful blue-green fish with some pinkish fins.  By the way, they chew the coral and produce sand!

Back to our studio now.  “Golden Reflections” has been sketched.  Fragile petals in vibrant watercolours will soon be brushed into life, contrasted against the stone bird bath.

Our son, John, is donating his seven weeks of vacation to Trans World Radio Bonaire as a volunteer missionary, helping them with computer projects (July 30-Sept. 15).

 After three different flights, with a window seat falling into his lap on each leg of the journey, he arrived at nightfall (that’s 7:00 p.m. year-round there). 

Lloyd and I served with TWR Bonaire from 1973-1984.  Our three children were educated totally in the Dutch language, becoming bilingual.

As you will read from John’s first blog from the island, the TWR guest house he is being housed in is just a four-minute walk from a great resort catering to scuba divers (John is an avid one). 

How’s that for icing on the cake?
