Before I totally dive into complete and utter nonsense, I want to make sure I don't forget to tell you how impressed I am with the shots that have been posted here!  Awesome work, everybody!  LOVE the rain, David ... and Clive's shots of the Cape are fabulous! 

Who would have ever guess that Auntie Seattle wouldn't be able to cough up a current picture of rain???  LOL!  I'm hoping, but the five-day says there's no rain in sight. 

..........

All right ... you two boys better behave yourselves!  (Ummm ... that would be Piet & RJ, just so there's no confusion about who's in trouble here!)  You're no match for Carin and I when we get going.    Best be careful, or we'll go all gatvol on you!   

Dis goed om jou te sien, Piet  ... it's about time you showed up ... ek is trots op jou ... a current pic and everything!    (And gosh ... it's gorgeous!!)

And you, Ronnie, you're just encouraging him!      Time for another pic from you, methinks!

@ Piet :   Soet wees ... * blaas 'n soen * 

@ Ronnie :  Be good, Sweetie!  ... * blows kisses *
