It
seems to be taking a long time to get to Georgia... and it will be taking even
longer. We are going to stay until after Christmas. Actually we have paid for a
month on the doc because it’s cheaper than by the day or week. THIS is how they suck you into staying here. When I told the marina manager we were
staying, he said they are going to start playing “Hotel California” over the PA
system.
So
we signed up for the potluck. The Marina is providing the turkey and the ham.
The “residents” will cook the vegetables and desserts. I am making sweet potato
casserole and exotic fruit cheesecake.
We
are the only Canucks here. But no-one else seems to mind. We are slowly
converting them.
Yesterday
not much was accomplished. Rick started to work on the freezer but wanted to
get rid of the starboard he had saved for the seats, so spent hours looking for
clips to attach the. We walked to the Marine store and the hardware store...no
luck, but we went as far as the grocery store and got some supplies so it wasn’t
a dead loss. A half-mile (or km) isn’t so far after you’ve done it a few times.
When
we got back I emptied the pantry and then we didn’t have room to cook dinner,
so guess what? [everybody says that here!! Guess what?] It was $10.00 steak night at the “Fillin’
Station” [check out the pic!] we are
going to have the rest of it tonight !
If
anyone had told me a couple of months ago that I would enjoy sitting in a rustic
southern country bar watching people play pool, and listening to country music, AND drinking beer, I can’t
repeat what I would have said but... I sort
of wish I’d brought my cowboy boots but I still think they look stupid with
shorts!

Hey
4 more days... get moving!
So
I talked with the grandkids this morning and didn’t cry. Not sure what that
means. I will call again on Xmas day. It’s raining here today but it’s still
warm enough for t-shirt and shorts. Rick is whining about being cold, but it’s
because he doesn’t want to do anything...we got 3 more weeks, right? I am
going to do laundry then start on the winches. I will do some inside painting
today, and when it dries up and gets sunny as predicted, I can do more stuff
outside. If we get far enough on today maybe
we can go to the show tonight.
Charlie's very polite and barks for permission to come aboard. It's too hard
for him to get on board us so he visits everyone else. The dolphins
drive him nuts!
