2023 started off busy. We began with New Year’s Eve where we toasted in the new year. Carey and I celebrated the event with a host of friends at the Icehouse Marina and Kitchen. A great buffet and music as we waited for the New Year to start. The one picture I remembered to take did not come out very good … but we were having a good time.
The weather has been very nice for winter. A few days of really cold weather didn’t spoil the mostly mild winter so far. And, with that we’ve had plenty of sunshine and beautiful sunsets.
One of the best January activities was the Polar Plunge. Forty-seven brave souls jumped in the 42-degree Potomac River on January 7th, at the beach near Dockside. Dockside Restaurant planned the event and the party that went along with it. It was a fun afternoon and money was raised to support the school.
Carey had two breast surgeries in Jan and Feb and we’ve now planning the upcoming radiation treatments. By early May she’ll be through with the major part of the breast cancer treatment and onto long term hormone therapy. We are looking forward to a full recovery.
Also during these months we started planning our year’s boating trips, filed our Federal taxes and continued to enjoy the activities and friends in Colonial Beach.
