Joe & Fran and Provisioning

Provisioning, yes! I think we are close although no one worked on the boat today. That was alright since we were out provisioning for the boat. We got food (mostly non-refrigerating type). wishful thinking I might be doing. We did a whole foods run enough food probably for a month. Last time we went was about a month ago. I got a scuba mask since I lost mine and I think I lost Ben's too. a long mic-cord so we can plug the computer into the speakers or the keyboard (piano) into the speakers.

Here is a question for you all. Some sailboaters asked us to get sharpie markers of the thick kind: Yellow, Red, Blue, Black, Orange, Green and if possible purple.  Ok so you tell me why they needed them? and why these colors.  I will await your answers in the comment section unless you are too embarrassed then send me an email and I will keep your name anonymous.

We went to visit my dad's good friends Joe and Fran. They also let us store some stuff in their barn: 2 big tarps that we use for winterizing the boat, a radar pole that we took off but will put back on if we get wind generator and some bottom paint. When we left Ben had summed up the meeting perfectly by saying...
     What relationship are they to us again? Then he smiled.  They seem like they should be Aunt Fran and Uncle Joe, they feel like family.
    I had to totally agree. Aren't there people in your life where they feel like family and they are not? or they feel closer than family and they are not? Joe and Fran are so welcoming. their house is over 100 years old, they bought it 20 years ago and it was in shambles... a total shambles and they fixed it up so beautifully it was great to get the tour!
   what can I say? it is past bed time 6:50AM comes early for me, but not for the yard workers where some are even here at 6:30!!! no pictures... sorry.. zzzzz
