What can I say. . .Winter has come to Maryland. . .we are known for humidity in the summer and non drivers in the snowy Winter months. Snow on a boat is another thing, while we are toasty warm below deck but we need to come up from our warm haven eventually.
This week I will go buy a table top Christmas tree for Ava, the mast is not cutting it for her so she says. Shopping for her is done, I have put to use the media room for wrapping and storing and Christmas movie night. Ava says Santa needs a lot of room for her gifts. . .
Not much going on right now at the marina, everyone is gone. . .we are alone and taking over the place. . The bubblers are up and running in the water around the stern (back) of the boat, noisy but doing there job. We will be installing a hanging rod in the shower for clothes this week and changing the rugs to all one color. . .I am going with an off white theme and will do the same with curtains come the first of the year. Cleaning takes me 45 min. a day and I am hoping Santa brings me a new Dirt Devil for Christmas since I vacuum every day and mine is old and worn out. For Christmas Papa and I are ordering from Santa reclining cock pit seats. . .NICE. We are already getting our selves ready for Spring Sailing, funny how all of our boat neighbors are saying they will visit us in Feb. to see if we have survived. . .not sure what they expect to happen to us. What people do not understand is we are gone during the day and home only in the evening when the boat is toasty warm, our beds are heated and the temp is 72. The coldest part is walking up the dock but we know we are going to a warm place and the scenery is beautiful.
For Christmas we will be going to our son Shannon's and Grandma's, the week after Papa's family is arriving and staying at the Hampton Inn 12 miles away with a pool and Spa. . .that is where you will find me! We really have 2 1/2 months to go of dreary Winter. . we can survive that!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Warm Night!
