Bye Bye Baby

 I am going to miss hanging out with Charlotte in the morning.  I have forgotten how easily time passes when watching a baby snuggle and sleep.  How utterly absorbing watching various expressions cross her face.  How somebody so tiny can fill a heart so full.



But alas, we must head to Maine.  When we left the house in August we thought we would have returned before the weather changed to freezing.  Water in the jacuzzi and pipes could become a problem.  In addition I left food in the fridge (exactly what I cannot recall).  So the plan is to head north tomorrow morning and stay a week (or so).  

Our car is packed and after a potential buyer for the truck test drives it at 7am, we can go retrieve Fenway and be on the road.  It would be nice to have the truck off the lawn for good.  Fingers crossed.

Word of the day - whewling.  Meaning to cry complainingly, howl. whine.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Welcome Home Charlotte

 Welcome home Charlotte!                                               Charlotte dressed for the season! My plan today - spend a couple hours finishing laundry, horse care and dishes at Megan and TJ's.  First task - check in with Mark, the farrier.  Though neither horse has shoes, their hooves still grow and require trimming every 7-8 weeks.  Both horses are easy and Mark was done quick.  Thank you Rebecca for completing morning care and field mucking.   I moved to the house where I found the dishes done  (Thank you again Rebecca!).  Okay, I'll make a quick batch of pineapple salsa and toss in a quick load of laundry.  That's when my day turned in to something I never would have imagined.  There was no water!  I ran out to the barn to check the water hadn't been running continuously and the...
