Happy Birthday Alan!

Happy birthday Alan!  Hope you have a great day and great year!


I love my mornings with Charlotte!  Her baby smell (except the stinky diaper!) and her absolute cuteness - priceless.  


Then a morning walk with Lisa along the Blackstone Valley Bikeway.  Almost three miles that feels like nothing while Lisa talks, talks and talks!  A gorgeous day that was warm enough for me to wear shorts (in November).  
 



Then lunch with Lisa and Donna at Bandidos.  Great friends with good food and more girl talk.  Feeling blessed to have friends that "get" me and make me smile and laugh.  A four hour lunch that feels too short!  I do not miss working but I do miss seeing you guys more often.  

Word of the day - bonhomie.  Meaning good-natured easy friendliness.

Blast from the past:  November 3, 2007:  

                                Kevin on the top bunk (can see his arm) and Scott on the bottom 
                                with socks on his hand (he had horrible eczema).

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...
