Trying to stay Cool!

look closely into my eyes!

Yesterday 6-19-10 Richmond cemetery… Amazing!

Ben and I got up early as usual these days. We don’t know what day they come to work on our boat. Even when they say they might they don’t. You’ve heard it all. It is frustrating to always be up at 6:50 “just in case” they come… but I’m really not complaining except on Saturdays and Sundays don’t ya think we all can sleep in just one day a week.  They work on both those days. So Saturday we got up early in anticipation… nope not today. Then we were going to drop off some stuff and visit Fran and Joe – Dad’s friends… but we don’t have cell coverage and they were gone when we called so we thought we would wait for a different day to visit and provision. We heard that a cemetery in Richmond is way cool.  Ben and I like cemeteries. Wowza this was the coolest cemetery! Three Presidents are buried there but more than that it is old, on a river, on a bluff, on rolling hills, in a city, near the train, the stones are unique and everywhere you look there is love given to the stones through decorative expressions, flowers, trinkets, etc. we could have spent all day there. We ate – yumm! Went to the civil war museum. (I don’t know why we keep falling upon so much war stuff? When we walked out I had to laugh cuz Ben said, “Have’nt we learned anything yet? Stop-it!” I had to laugh at how he said it. Just stop-it. When we were eating there was a tv playing the world soccer games. We both have thought this… why not have wars played out with games like soccer? Whoever wins – wins. Then we are all winners cuz no one dies.  Ok ok I can hear some of you say… enough with the polly-anna talk. We ended out day by meeting up with our boating friends we met last year, Jen and Maxwell. They just finished sailing to the Bahama’s this winter, we followed their blogs. We saw them walking on the way to the Deltaville baseball game where once again (this is my 3^rd game) They got Trounced!

Today:

Not a breath of wind!! Today 95 with humidity of 88%. Way hot! Right now ben and I are sitting in the stern looking at a heat lightning storm off in the distance. It is so stifling hot! Sweat is pouring down my legs and the no-see-um bugs are feasting on my toes. There is no way I want to go in the cabin. It has to be over 100 tonight in there and getting hotter as the temp rises due to the hot teak deck during the day. I’m risking bugs than heat. Ben is doing his part he is having a pipe to help keep the bugs away! Isn’t that nice of him.  Today for father’s day we went to a movie. (to cool off and we enjoyed toy story 3) how do they do it? I love Pixar! Then we went for ice cream to celebrate Ben’s wonderful parenting. And now we sweat! And sweat. Who needs to have a gym membership to use a sauna when you can have one right here.

The water is glass calm, the music of Peter Ostreuscho (spelt wrong I’m sure) is playing sweetly in the background, peaceful. Yes Im trying to focus on peaceful not hot! Maybe a cold beer is in order?

Still no AT&T

Emails get through on wifi.

Take care, blessings and freedom to you all. All means All!
