She just loves those coloured hard boiled Easter eggs even though Papa gets to eat all the yokes.
Easter Sunday spent on the water with hard boiled Easter eggs, bunny cookies and chocolate eggs too.

Our sweetest little treasure ..... grandson Jack. Can't wait til we see him again in the summer and show him Provo's wonderful beaches.
Victoria is our coffee lady and she roasts coffee beans here on island.
While my sisters were visiting we did some shopping for items to take back to Canada and the UK. Our favourite and top of the list for must have is Victoria’s coffee. She roasts the beans here on island and her beautifully packaged coffee blends are available in many shops on Provo. A friend of long standing, the photo on her coffee label is one that I took years ago out at Malcolm Roads. We thought it would look great on her coffee labels and it sure does.
The green coffee beans are slow roasted to perfection for that oh so good cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Victoria and TCI Coffee Roasters is the first and only speciality coffee roaster on the island.
Tina introduces Victoria and her coffee to her wedding guests....each received a very special blend as a gift from the bride and groom.
Victoria’s coffee is found in many of Provo’s shops including FOTTAC or Flavors of the Turks and Caicos in the Regent Village on Grace Bay.
Althea Williams shows Eve the wide selection available in her store.
Fottac carries delicious Bamberra rum cakes which you can taste while shopping……samples are available and Althea’s rum punch is to die for. We could have stayed there all day just sampling all the edible items. Bamberra rum is for sale along with three different flavors of rum cake, mango jam, hot sauces and jerk rubs. Our guests over Christmas and New Year all received a gift basket containing Bamberra rum, mango jam and TCI Coffee Roaster’s coffee.
Althea shows us samples of products she carries in her store called Fottac.
My sister Eve told me today that she showed co-workers her photos of our beautiful islands while serving some Bamberra rum cake and coffee. It was a great success especially as it was freezing cold out side in Montreal today.
Here's Eve at Daniel's Cafe on Middle Caicos...... note the bottles of hot sauce and condiments.
We stopped in at Daniel’s Cafe in Middle Caicos for a late lunch…………amazing fresh fish catch of the day (Parrot fish they told us) with peas and rice. We simply raved over Marilyn’s tamarind hot sauce. I called her up the next day in order to buy some more so that my sisters could take them home.Marilyn made up sealers of delicious Tamarind pepper sauce for us.
Marilyn and a sealer of Tamarind hot pepper sauce that she made and brought into her shop for us.

We’re trying to get everything ready for the Holidays and we’ll have lots of guests coming in. The island will be busy with visitors and everything seems to have a hectic feel as people rush to and fro in preparation for Christmas Day.
A sunburst of colour .......... pink, yellow, orange, turquoise and green adorn these charming beach huts where Sailing Paradise Restaurant is to be found out in Blue Hills.
Clouds gather over Coral Gardens beach earlier this evening as we all wait for Tomas to arrive
All hurricane preparations were completed with the help of friends and guests and since it was calm and still, we took a quick trip to check out Cooper Jack Marina and the north shore. It was beautiful over at Coral Gardens, even a couple of people in the water down further on the beach. All the thatch was off the umbrellas in readiness for Hurricane Tomas’ arrival.
The calm before the storm as Yogi and Pat check out the water.
We’re expecting the worst of the hurricane at about 5 am Saturday and they’re saying it will pass about 26 miles away off the North West Point of Providenciales.
Stay safe everyone in the Turks and Caicos Islands!

Here's our little Ania........." pretty " scary witch don't you think?
A blast from the past with photos of Ania and Mike at Halloween. I think I made Tina an outfit too out of the same red, rubber backed material that was a set of curtains at one point. Curtains that were pretty darned ugly I would say.
Mike the Mad Hatter.
I’m not sure where Tina’s photo is but here’s another member of the family…………….
Kona (aka Skunk breath) was out trick or treating too for all kinds of doggy treats. Apparently dogs do this in Vancouver!
Happy Halloween everyone. Have lots of fun.

Mark at Danny Buoy's was kept busy Friday night.....rockin' music with Bowen Arrow, two birthday gals and a whole lot of fun.
Barry and I seldom go out but when we heard that David Bowen was entertaining at Danny Buoy’s, we couldn’t pass it up. What an evening of great fun, laughter, good rockin’ music by Bowen Arrow. The music brought the house down, freely flowing drinks and two beautiful birthday gals with friends out celebrating. We had a blast!
Bowen Arrow was the featured band .
Indira celebrates her birthday at Danny Buoys
Come on out to Danny Buoy’s next Friday night……….lots of drinks and delicious pub food and Bowen Arrow will provide the entertainment!
See you there.

Snow on Provo lakeside???? Reminds me of Banff.
Another beautiful Provo sunset on Flamingo Lake right infront of our villas. The salt sea foam made it look like snow beside the lake and I couldn’t resist taking photos.

I watched the storm coming over the lake towards us with thunder and lightning. It started to sprinkle with rain as I first noticed the rainbow and headed up our hill to a high spot where I took some photos. A beautiful rainbow appeared over us and the big house on the hill.
Love those rainbows!
