HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Chris and I just had our turkey dinner at Pineapple Pete's (we weren't in the mood for cooking) and I wanted to spend a couple of minutes mentioning what we are thankful for... so here it goes!

We are thankful for

1. All of our loyal customers who we have had the pleasure of diving and snorkeling with. Without all of you, we wouldn't be able to do what we love.
2. The joining of Swen and Aurelion to the Octopus Family. They are both great guys who work super hard, and are motivated to doing a great job.
3. All the wonderful people in the Grand Case community that help us every day. Like Reverend Hodge and his two sons Jhonny and Mickey. (They are the owners of Les Alizes and are always ready with a kind word and a smile). Or like Albert, who never passes the dive shop without saying hello. Or like Kevin, our little helper, who sometimes causes more trouble than help. Or like Emile, the owner of Sky's the Limit, who feeds us when we are hungry and too lazy to cook with a good bbq. Or our nieghbor Rick, from NY, who let us store our kayak next door!
4. The addition of our new boat Octopussy, which makes diving in Saint Martin a dream.
5. The health and well being of our family and loved ones.
6. The really cool octopi that seem to be around lately.
7. The addition of the members of Les Fruits de Mer, who are here for one whole year... yeah! I will blog more about them at a later date.... so stay tuned.
8. The fact that we get to meet so many wonderful people everyday, while living and diving in such a beautiful place.
9. Our lovely cat Max, who is so big he may as well be a small tiger!
10. All our family and friends that come to visit us, especially my family who are all coming for my 30th birthday in February... I know.... 30 years old.... ahhhhh!
11. A hurricane free season!
12. And of course, we are thankful to all of our blog readers (that means you!)

So, have a wonderful day everyone, wherever you are! I do believe that now it is time for bed, all that turkey makes me sleepy!
