The trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving was great. We’re back and getting ready for Christmas. We moved Apolonia (new 37′ Maxum) to Sailfish and started work on the rest of the engine maintenance and we decided to replace the upholstery in the cockpit and driving area. We’re getting ready for some cruising on the new boat. Paget, the runabout is on the market and we’re hopeful to sell her soon. Showing her tomorrow!!! Last week we had a great time with Rowdy and Chris at Village Green beer festival. We enjoyed good food and beer and watched a couple work on the stack block game. Fun!
The only negative so far this month is that our guest toilet developed a leak … water went under the tiles in the bathroom and office, requiring some major work to fix and then repair damage that was not initially visible. Ouch. Repairs almost complete now though so we’ll be ready for Lauren and family on the 26th, just after Christmas. And if plans go the way we’ve laid it out Apolonia will be ready on the 26th for some family fun.
Jack and Ann Southard came for a few days prior to Christmas as they needed to see Ann’s brother Jimmy who had gone into the hospital here for a few days. We are sorry about the reason for the visit but really enjoyed seeing them. It had been too long.
They went home the weekend prior Christmas and Carey and I prepared for Lauren, Cynthia, Oliver, and Benji for their Christmas visit started the 26th. We were ready with a host of activities but we really knew that the Oliver and Benji would just want to enjoy the pool, and they did all day, every day! And Carey and I are getting ready to use our other names, Cammy and Papa. We drove Lauren and family to the airport on the 28th and now we’re slowing down after all the activities.
A pretty good month!
