Serendipity Day

 According to Madeleine Kay, creator of Serendipity Day and author, in her book Living Serendipitously, serendipity is "the willingness to live your life as if everything is a miracle...with the belief that at any moment something wonderful is about to happen." 

So many miracles - mini, medium and big.  

A simply gorgeous night last night despite the storm.  A huge drop in the temperature and humidity along with a nice breeze - sleeping was wonderful.  Curling under a light blanket - priceless.

 All the animals were alive this morning and wicked happy to see us.  The cat - the loudest.  Followed by the horses and then the rooster.  All "singing" us a good morning tune.  The cat acts spastic when released and proceeded to entertain with her jumping and climbing and hunting.



A great haircut by a great stylist.  Kayla has finally found happiness in her personal life.  So happy for her.

Enjoying lunch with friends catching up.  And we re-discovered a restaurant we had sort of forgotten about.  (CHOPS was closed on a Monday - go figure.)

A "quick" trip to New Hampshire to purchase snow tires for the Atlas.  Only used for one season they are brand new.  The price - insanely low.  And the man selling them - met us half way in Nashua.  One of our best Marketplace buys ever!

Dinner with Scott and Rebecca - unexpected and humorous.  How did I not know he does not eat toast?

A quick call to Megan.  She is my only child that knew my middle name.  (And how to spell it!)  Scott came close - he knew it started with a J.  Kevin - nope.  Nothing.  This all started because Kevin applied for his marriage license!!!  It is happening!

LURC has accepted our application and our money (Ha!).  

We have been wait listed for the marina in Hawks Key for January.  But there sounds like a strong possibility of something opening.  If not there are so many other options and opportunities.

And Sally and Richard whose boat is named Serendipity.  Miss you guys and your stories!

So many wonderful moments in one day.  Blessed.

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Happy (Belated) Birthday Rebecca!

Image
 I hope your day yesterday was everything a birthday should be at 23!  We love you and are happy you are part of chaos household!  💖  I apologize for being a day late!   Today we had some success and some failures.   Successes = trip to church with donate, dump with garbage and trash, lumber yard for one board needed for the bathroom, washer works well and it was warm enough to dry two loads on the dog run, sanding in bathroom is complete, walls all have second coat, dinner was great (Paul cooked) and tonight we sleep on bed sheets dried in the fresh air! Failures = the dryer is broke (I tried to dry the blankets thinking they would never dry in the cooler air), and the closeline Paul tried to hang is too stretchy (better line ordered). While in town we saw this van (also dropping off donates): And it is World Gratitude Day. People I love:  so many, here are a few:                   ...

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
