We are in Sandpiper Marina. The nicest and cheapest place we could find. the people here are sooo overly friendly! well not overly! they are just right! everyone we have met has been super sweet and helpful letting us use their cars if we need. but we don't, cuz my dad will be here tomorrow.
We cleaned the hull (that was me... I pouted and Ben let me cuz he wanted to clean the hull... why? would we fight for that job? well I have methods to my madness... my back is sore and bending over to scrub the deck does not sound fun... plus you get to sit in the kayak and have a bit of fun balancing while you try to scrub the guck off the bootstripe. it was fun but don't tell Ben... I made sure it looked hard. ha ha)
He scrubbed the deck - thanks Ben and did many other things while I did stuff. all together we cleaned out the head... (peee-you) that is never a fun job, cleaned the bilge, washed off all the salt anywhere on the outside, washed the floors on the inside also called the soul, and the cabinets, picked up stuff, washed anything we saw, cleaned the seats with a little dirt devil, I'm sure i'm missing something...
I'm tired and sore...
we ate mac and cheese with peas on the side for dinner... we played backgammon and we double the cube to 64 again this time I pulled it away, then Ben came back and is up 32 to 10.
I can't get my work checkbook to balance yet. I bet I'll get it when I get home.
that's good enough for now...
see you all soon...
Amen
Pam

ReplyDeletewe got up around 5 ... got the snow blower to work ... cleared our and our neighbors driveway ...
then took off ... going south on 169 ... we were lucky ... 2 snowplows were clearing the snow in front of us ...
when we got to 394 it was different ... drove in the middle of 3 lanes ... no cars in front of me ... none behind me ... used the light-poles to guide me ... could see one car length in front of me ...
mark thought no one would pick him up today because of the blizzard conditions ...
bill and mike were already there ... our new friend, ben, came later ... it was nice ... until about 1 pm
we are delighted to hear you and ben will sit with us in a circle next saturday
please bring your harmonica and remind ben to bring his gitar ... and if you can some maps to show us where you were ...
after the meeting ... came the hard part ... getting the parked car moving of now much deeper snow ... it took over one hour shoveling ...
total white-out conditions coming home ... had to make frequent stops to clear the ice of the wipers ...
one of our neighbors had cleaned drive so we could drive up to the garaged door ...
had something to eat ... then we did first our driveway again ... then helped 3 neighbors ...
took a hot bath
wir sind totmuede und wunschlos gluecklich ...
liebe liebe gruesse von werner
