365: week 32

I've sort of been busy. Imagine that I might have time to play with photos and maybe even do some more blogging sometime after Christmas! I meet people everyday who are unable to leave their homes, or even function inside their own walls, due to health conditions. I'll say I am blessed beyond measure to be so busy that I can't get to the grocery store.

I've had these photos loaded and waiting for time to sit and write for quite a while. Since the next few posts ... I've not managed my photo a day thing. Serious bummer. Maybe I'll go find some photos and at least capture life through the missing month or more. It sure is fun to print the book at the end of the year and tuck it on the shelf.

We are back on the water again. Finding minutes in our busy days to spend out there might be a bit challenging, but this was one fun Sunday afternoon. We had a boat before we moved away. One day Jari was on his constant Craigslist search and found our exact same boat for sale in Flagstaff. We really tried to buy that one back. In the end ... the owners decided to keep it and we found another one. Exact same boat ... just a different color. And we have taken to the water. The first day out I have to say I sighed. Real. Big. I had forgotten how relaxing it can be just doing nothing.

Delightful.

Sometimes it is fun to just watch these two. Someone totalled Tia's car for her.Which means I gave mine up to her ... the search is on with dad showing her what she needs to avoid in the search.

This book sat on my audio wait list at the library for a very long time. I finally got it and have to say I highly recommend.

223/365:

We have the sweetest neighbors ever. They happen to have an unused minivan ... I'm feeling kind of young again. Just a wee bit quieter than back in my other life.

224/365:

They're still hanging around ... oh my. Maybe I over ordered. Maybe not.

225/365:

There's time on the water with kids and grandkids ... and then there's time on the water with just the two of us. The bunks on the boat trailer needed to be replaced and after a failed attempt to hoist the boat ... the best option seemed to be pay for a slip at the lake while the trailer got fixed. We parked the boat there for 3 weeks while Jari did some work when he had moments. One night we headed out and spent the night on the boat at the marina. A bit toasty yet .... because I think this is way back on August 11th. Thank goodness for a slight breeze or sleeping might have been a wee bit sticky. Big benefit of marina life ... restrooms. Serious benefit! On the flip side ... not necessarily quiet. Waves rocked us all night long and I was still rocking Monday at work as I walked. Pure good stuff.
