Lila's first Kayak ride

At 7:30pm the temperature read 99 degrees.

I’m not complaining just in awe of heat. I’d rather be too hot than too cold cuz not too many people die of too hot but when you are too cold your mind starts to think crazy… Well last night we might have been on the verge of crazy with heat. It was the hottest day so far without a breath of wind to boot. It was so miserable at times Ben preferred sleeping out on the deck  and getting eaten by no-see-ums than swealtering below.

The first night on a swaying boat always takes a bit to get used to anyway cuz you wake up with any banging of the anchor chain, or sound of halyard banging on the mast from people around you etc… let’s just say that the normal temp was 104 so we took our last ride in Ben’s blue Honda Fit Sport… sniff … We love that car! We don’t need two cars anymore cuz we have a boat to get us around and when we are in town we can share my car. A one car family will have to do.

This morning was lazy getting up after not sleeping much. I actually read a bit of a book. Then It was time to have Lila take her first kayak ride! We were a little apprehensive cuz  with Owen (rest in peace) he was scared and I got a few good claw marks on my arm, legs and any open skin. Lila, nope, she was as sweet and poised as could be! Ben lifted her down to me, she hopped, looked around, and explored the kayak under my feet and around my person.  She poked her head out a few times as if to say, “I approve, now when can we go to my playground on shore?”

Today we went to Becca Jason VandeWettering’s house, they are graciously going to try and sell the car! We hope they do, in the mean time they can drive it all they want! Me-casa-yo-casa  Me-car-yo-car.

We got back around 8:30 and hopped in the pool to cool off and get ready for another hot night. But so far tonight seems cool enough with a tiny breeze and have already gotten cooled by the pool.

Tomorrow is the sea-trail to see if everything works. Hopefully it will be a simple fix!

sorry we did not get a picture of Lila Kayaking! She was a cutie!

Zzzzz

Blessings on you All!
