A New Boat?!

Okay, so maybe you heard... but here it is! Gary has had his sights on two boats for the "next boat". This could have been next spring, next fall, whenever... Well, he found one THIS WEEK for the right situation and price (and then he offered half that)! The guy wanted it out of his yard and now it's in our yard!

In a weird twist of fate, the previous owner had named the boat "Lady K" - which is what we've called [Gary wants me to say "dearly beloved"] Kaya for years! Gary's planning to tear out the inside deck and console and rebuild it over the winter. It's a 20-foot, 1981 Sea-Ox that has barely been in the water, but it wasn't covered from the damage of rain and leaves for all these years. Gary paid about a sixth of what we can get for our current boat, so he got the wifely seal of approval for sure. Game on!

October! How is everyone doing out there? Lots of nothing going on with us and it’s great. Been home for a couple of weekends in a row, and I’m happy to say that I got in a couple of long runs and bike rides, painted on my easel on the back deck, made some crafty gifts that I won’t mention ;)… made fresh pesto from the garden basil, baked an apple pie…. We even watched the first season of Entourage on DVD. Who has time for that?! Yep, that’s right – we do!

We are heading back to Conway NH this weekend, but this time with my folks! Bromley’s on bed-rest a bit, and some heavy meds for an agitated/arthritic elbow. Gary and I are up for a big Presidential hike while the pooch has his grandparents, but we’re also just psyched to hang out with my parents. Because they live so close, we take that for granted and never spend quality time with them. We don’t visit for the whole weekend any more, play dominos after dinner and such. Looking forward to it!

It sounds like we’re hosting Thanksgiving again this year and we love it! Before that, though, we’ll be enjoying a few more weekends of R&R in October, and a great birthday weekend for Gary at the end of the month on Lake Winnipesauke!

Happy October Birthdays to Caitlin, Derek, Dad, Nancy, Steve, Trina, Amy, and McKenna too!!! (in that order) HOLY COW!

The bathroom looks gooorgeous! Love that husband of mine. Photos coming, but Blogger is irritable.

Have a great spooky month, complete with a Friday the 13^th! Bring on the pumpkins!

Hope to catch up with you all soon - XO
