Breezy cool day of rest

Today I made breakfast for you Minnesotans I made Spam eggs cheese. I have not had spam for a long time. Reminds me of childhood. If they did not put nitrates in it that would be ok. Oh well a little nitrates now and then. I'm getting the hang of cheese that is on the edge of moldy. If I was home I surely would have thrown it out. Ohhh ysterday we got ice and I made fruit slushies. Spoiled yes I know. I then swept, washed , and cleaned the galley (kitchen) salon (dining room) the head (bathroom) companion way (stairs entryway) v berth(bedroom) soul (floor) setee (dingng room seats) Navigation station (duh) Sounds like a lot but everything is so small I love cleaning small stuff. It's not overwhelming and you can get it done quickly plus I had no where to go so it was not a rush. I wonder if my desk at work could ever be fun to clean off? Nah! That is too overwhelming at times plus I'm always In a hurry to get somewhere.
Oh yesterday we had our new friends over nancy and Darrell. They showed us how to play Ken-as-ta. Not sure how to spell it. We shared our chocolate and crackers. I won if anyone was interested in knowing. And I'm not even competeitve. I made slushies for all.
Oh sad sad news for me. I lost my coveted canoe seat! Yup that night we had the storm it went over and I didnot even Realize it until today when I wanted to sit comfyily on deck. Boo hoo!
Hey guess what I just figured out how to view your comments. Sorry I have not responded but now I will.
Today was Owens first dinghy ride ( I finally know how to spell dinghy). He did great. We wentover to the sandy beach. He jumped off and ran for the tall grass and played like a little panther kitten.
We then went over to thenew neighbor friends to play cards again but this time Ben nd Darrell helped rescue a boat that could not set his anchor. It kept draggging. Finally after two hours of attempts Darrell loaned him his danforth anchor instead of a plow anchor. We have a sturdy plow with 100 feet of thick chain. He only had 10 feet of chain and a shorter rode (line). It was their first time anchoring. Funny everyone else worked with a plow. Oh well it was good humor. Then we told Minnesota stories and now my wonderful hubby is putting a leather cover over the anchor chain so it does notbang on the bowsprit support. I appreciate it. I hope for a quiet sleep tongiht. It is chilly tonight a nice change.
Going to bed zzzz
God watches over all
