National Rhode Island Day

 A successful day!  With a lot of help from Kevin, we managed another two sections of chain link.  The back fence line is complete.  Only three more sides to go!  The weather was perfect for working - warm in the sun and cool in the shade.  Fall has arrived in RI!

                                   Maddie watching the entire process making sure we made no errors.

                                        With Kevin helping, motorized "tools" were "required".

                                                    Just like a professional (only slower!).

Long, hot showers for sore muscles followed by taco salads - priceless.  And yes we ate dinner in our jammies - we are retired.

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...

                                        A beautiful ride home - lots of sun, little traffic and clear roads.                                                      Fenway enjoying his "nest" with no Annie or Tallulah.                                                       Sorry Fenway.  Time to go back. As pretty as the snow can be, I have sufficiently filled my desire to enjoy the cold, white, icy stuff.  We left early with the temperature at 31 degrees.    Arriving in RI at 60 degrees - feels like summer! After stopping at the grocery s...
