Who? What? Where? I Don't Know!

 

Brianna manages to say it all with her expression!  Paul and I had the pleasure of picking her up at school today in Westfield.  The ride was worth every minute (almost 2 hours each way!).  And the weather and scenery was absolutely gorgeous.  


This morning - continuing to empty the closet.  From 1959 tax returns to totes of photos and even nutcrackers.  Slowly we are managing to make decisions.

The hunt for my 403B.  Apparently while we were traveling my 403 transferred to Fidelity from Corebridge.  Okay.  Not the first time they have switched companies.  Only this time I could not log in.  I call.  I fail the security test.  My hire date?  Which one?  Original?  After I returned from Roger Williams?  When Care New England bought Memorial?  When I "transferred" to Women and Infants?  I guessed wrong.  My separation date?  I knew that easily! Nope.  Apparently they recorded it differently.  Address?  Well no one ever recorded our change to Lincoln.   Call later.  Failed again.  Call later.  Failed again.  Are you kidding me?  I get a "supervisor".  After photos of my passport, live picture of me and multiple questions regarding my lineage - I finally passed!

Dentist.  Because of our traveling we are almost 12 months since our last visit.  We have also switched dentists since the previous made me question their practices.  (Turns out I was right.  No real problems.)  The new office was great.  They confirmed that I do not need hundreds of dollars of work.  Where are the ethics?

After dropping Brianna off with TJ, we headed to a late lunch at Asia.  A well deserved and ultimate relaxed time.  Ahhhh.


And our garage plans are in.  Hopefully this means the fabricators are working to complete our order.  

It is Human Resource Professional Day.  Here's to our HR professional - Rebecca!  Kudos to you for dealing with people!



The plan - continue to tackle our To Do List.  (Somehow we manage to fill our days with others' "To Do Lists".

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:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

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...
