Blogging & Personal Expressions
What an exciting day so far. We left the dock to make it to a mooring buoy near where the fireworks are set off to arrive in the middle of 2 thunder storms converging overhead. Oh, the wind and waves ...

OKAY - maybe not exactly this lol It looks cute on the computer but the dragonfly is probably not really the look I want - I like these colors though

The brown is just the background color I put on there so it would show the white piping on the edges lol Right now I've gone from this to thinking I will just pick the tan-ish beige crinkled color and be done with it - with white piping lol I have the samples until Wed - so anything could happen.

4th of July trip off the dock *It was sort of fun while it briefly lasted
At first the plans were to leave the dock on July 3rd to stay overnight off of a favorite island, and then make the way back up to town where the fireworks take place for the 4th. The weather and mino...

O.M.G. Your 4th was very special. I hacked and coughed, sneezed and choked my way through the day.
Wanda Hope Carter
Thanks for reminding me --- how special it was, I will definitely never forget it lol I am sorry you are sick! Praying you get well soon!

Update - the ac is fixed, new hot water heater installed and hopefully the diver coming out to scrape the bottom will find it is just a small piece of something tangled around the prop this week.

The barge from which the fireworks were launched were set up right out our back door. So we sat on the porch with friends we invited over and watched fireworks the evening of Independence Day. No Incidents.

Can't off the boat in the marina - against the rules - but someday I will bust out the fishing pole and try my hand at it. (I hate fishing though - it upsets me to hurt and kill fish even if I throw them back. Poor bebes!)
CuzMike
Hmmmm.... I don't enjoy hurting or killing anything but if you were to taste some of the deep fried catfish I've been eating lately you might lose some of that aversion.
Wanda Hope Carter
lol I hear ya - I love fresh fish! After owning reef tanks though - and realizing fish are not the dumb swimmers people think they are, but even have personalities, I have to "deal with it" anytime fishing or hunting come up as something I might do. Believe me I could if my life depended on it thoug...

Oh wow THANK YOU so much!!!!! I'll try - but sometimes the lessons don't come so quickly as this one did. lol. .. what I am about to post going on today - hopefully someday will provide a perspective worth sharing, rather than the groans I am making right now.

I will fish, hunt or what ever for food. Will NOT do it for "sport" AKA "fun".
I see no "fun" in harassing fish for my own amusement. :-/

Yep that's me too - but then I often catch too many things I can't eat - and have to torture it off the hook before I ever catch anything I can. This is why I mostly just go to the fresh fish market. lol

I agree. But I'll go a step farther.

I doubt if either of us could afford to actually LIVE in HI anymore. . My husband just returned after a month in Maui. His niece went to Safeway during the month and spent $3k. Of course, grandma paid for it. {can you tell that's a sore subject?}

This may be one of the most expensive washer dryers in the world by the time the labor is paid for!
