After Doug's heart started beating regularly again, the fish came to visit him for a minute. I'm surprised he didn't mess his pants, but then, maybe he did.

What a friend!
While Harry and I were diving on Saturday, we saw Doug below us, looking for stuff on the bottom. Harry snuck up behind him and tugged his fin. The bubbles you see bursting from Doug's regulator are a string of bad words, or so I'm told. I was laughing so hard I made my mask leak. These two are really bad boys underwater, especially to each other.

Rotary Christmas Lunch
Chris, Sarah and I got to join Harry for the Rotary Christmas lunch. Dave and Rita were also at our table. As always, it was good food, fun games and some raffle prizes. 
Here's Dave laughing at one of his raffle gifts. 
One of the games was choosing a member of your team, and decorating him as a christmas tree. Harry was the lucky team member chosen to become their "tree". 
And here's the slightly scary finished product. Merry Christmas everyone!

Sarah's Last Ladder Beach Cookout
Sarah wanted one last Ladder Beach cookout. It was a nice relaxing evening. Here I am washing the charcoal smudges off my fingers. Emma always comes along to "help". 
Chris and Sarah are putting the veggie packs together. 
Sarah folding some of the foil packs of veggies. Harry got a steak to toss on the grill too. 
Sarah grilling our dinner. We had grilled portabella mushrooms, Harry had steak, and foil packs filled with veggies (pumpkin, yam, potato, mushroom, spices, herbs, zucchini), and sliced apples with butter and cinnamon in foil was grilled for the dessert. It was all delicious. 
Emma and I went off on a golf ball hunting expedition. We found 6 balls on that trip. I think we took home about a dozen. I guess someone was hitting them off the cliff.

Dive Students
A beautiful Oleai sunset. We came to Oleai at lunch time to give Harry's first two Open Water dive students their exams and possibly head out for an afternoon dive. However, the guys didn't have their book work done, so they had to work through that first. But it did allow us to enjoy a nice sunset at Oleai. 
Here they are - his first two Open Water graduates. Congrats Pastor Greg and Joel.

PIC Waterpark Day
Chris and Sarah, Harry and I all won free waterpark passes to the PIC, so we all decided to go there on Saturday and relax for the day. Harry spent so much time surfing, he was sore and exhausted by the time we went home. But then, that's just Harry, always playing hard and having to go back to work to rest. 
Harry, the surf dog. He managed to do 3 rolls, get back up and exit nicely before he quit for the day. 
This is Chris doing a mighty fine surf manuever just before hitting the cement divider.

Sarah and Chris. Sarah wouldn't let him put bunny ears behind her head - so . . .
I was trying to get my plumeria in the picture. I found a fallen plumeria near our recliners, and stuck it in my braid. 
Ah yes, a PIC beach sunset. It was a fun and memorable day.

Our final Saipan Girl Day
Last Friday I took the day off from work so I could spend the whole day with Sarah. We had a great "girl's day" together, visiting some of our favorite island spots together. We started our day at Java Joe's - I got a hot chai and Sarah got a capiccino. Mmm. One of our stops was Bonzai. It was a wild wave day, but no turtles in sight. 
The blues were awesome that day. 
The girls snapping their own "tourist" photo. 
While heading down the road from Suicide Cliff, I spotted these highway signs. I just had to take a picture, and record this Saipan moment. 
This is a closer look at highway 320. Yep, best traveled via 4 wheel drive. 
And highway 322 had a few suspicious looking little stink biscuits on the road. It would make one think that something other than cars might be using this road. 
Aha! I thought so. 
Sarah practicing to be a feng shui model. There are dozens of the stone arrangements going up to Suicide cliff now. They are fun to look at. 
A look over the edge at Suicide Cliff. No, I did not go over the fence for this photo. 
View from Suicide Cliff. Again, awesome blues out there. 
Sarah and I had a great day together. We stopped at Expressions and treated ourselves to some great gourmet candy. We ate lunch at Coffee Care. We shopped for Sarah's wedding gown, and checked out a few rings too. Sarah found a gorgeous wedding gown. All in all, it was some pretty great Mom/Daughter time. I will always treasure our girl days.

Disco King and Queen
Nope, not Harry and I - sad, I know. Chris and Sarah won these trophies December 11, in the dance competition fundraiser for Brilliant Star School. Congrats Chris and Sarah!! You might be great at disco swing, but your best dance is the tango!
