Had a refreshing cool good swim last night. But after mom took her shower to rinse off the salt water, it would only dribble for mine.  The problem was in the shower faucet and not the water pressure so I had to rinse off using a pitcher by filling it from a faucet near the floor in the shower.  Don’t have any tools with me to repair the shower faucet but hope to do so when I get access to some of TWR’s tools.

We are here during the short season on Bonaire when the trade winds have died down and the humidity goes up.  We are thankful for an air conditioner and ceiling fan in the bedroom and ceiling fans throughout the house.  These are things we did not have when we were here 40 years ago. With the ceiling fan, we were able to set the air conditioner thermostat to 24C (75F) and felt comfortable.  I think we can ease that setting up a bit tonight.

Got to sleep last night about 8:30 but we awaken by explosions at midnight and remembered today 10/10/10 is a special day in Bonaire with a fireworks celebration on the pier, which is only a couple blocks down the street.  Today Bonaire has changed from being a protectorate of the Netherlands to being more like a part of the Netherlands.  Will try to explain what this means once we learn more.  I have heard that there will be more funding available for infrastructure.  There are also question on what affect this change might have on TWR Bonaire — so pray about this.

It’s close to 8am on Sunday, so we need to take a ‘pitcher bath’ and get to church at 9am.
