I'm wearing some of the wonderful gifts my son sent me from Hawaii for my birthday. If anyone has been following the past week on FB - between one of his friends, me and him... it's been a bumpy ride. But this is what I am talking about when I say family love. We've been through hell and back about ...

This is a design set I came up with for the dinette booth area. Top and bottom of booth seats, a valance goes on the side of the dinette and a port hole cover. WHATDAYATHINK? LOL I probably can't affo...

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
Wanda Hope Carter
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...

this might need edits - I was lucky just to get it written out ... so no promises there lol

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!
Wanda Hope Carter
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.

When Insistent Meets Resistant Be Persistent!

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. :-/

Wanda Hope Carter
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?}

very easy to do ! -- well but I wish I had a grandma to buy me three grand worth of safeway stuff lol

Remember how lucky you are to have a washer dryer on board.

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

Although I've had kitty for a few years, I didn't celebrate Christmas so this was BooBoo Kitty's first year to get a present.
No problem, she knew just what to do.

This pic - I'm sitting at the dinette looking up through the windshield - my skylight - at the moon - the tv reflecting in the windshield, the Christmas village lights on a table under the TV and the lit up hallway down stairs.. trippy! But I love being able to sky watch 24 7
