For Sale

Today's goal - empty, clean and wash our 1999 Suburban and put a FOR SALE sign on it.  Since the kids have all purchased their own trucks and we no longer tow anything heavy (horses, cars, etc), why not.  Purchased in 2012 this truck has taken us many miles.

                                                Scott and Gypsy 2015

                                    Driving across the 8 mile Confederation Bridge to 
                                            Prince Edward Island

                                                    Kevin December 2015

                                            April 19, 2016

                                April 19, 2017  (Yes two years in row we had snow on the 19th of April.)

                                                Paul West Forks Campground, Maine 2017

                                  And our most infamous trip - the Berkshires in Massachusetts.
                                  Close enough to home that Kevin and Dan were able to bring us 
                                    a truck to tow our camper home since ours became incapacitated.

                                        Hopefully the new owner will find us quick!

Silly Sayings Day.  Two of my favorites:

Promises are like babies...They're fun to make but hard to deliver.

Whatever life throws at you, duck and let it hit someone else!

Word of the day - ensconcing.  Meaning to establish or place comfortably or safely.

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...
