Still Here

I need to go back and check how many times I've titled a post this (or a similar) way . . .  does seem to be a frequent motif within these pages.

Second Fantasy has not yet splashed down, and we don't plan to leave our wonderful new home until we know that we can move directly into it upon arrival in Little River. So we continue to unpack and organize and decorate . . . and play.*

After relishing a month of gloriously unrivaled Texas spring weather (70ish days, blue skies, breezes, no mosquitoes!), we can feel the tide turning toward hot and muggy. The high will reach 90 today.  Time to leave!

*Best play date: Hearing (and dancing and singing to) The Fab Five, along with Arlene and Jim, at Jackie's Brickhouse just down the road, as they took the crowd on a Magical Mystery Tour of the Beatles songbook. What fun!

More Delay - Creeping Along

Not only have we not splashed back down after our haul-out -- we haven't even been hauled out yet!

Don't ask me what our new plan is . . . . We're still hoping to head north, but it won't be until after our house move-in, and that will be in May.

Looks like we will have visits there from Crawford as well as Elizabeth and Nathan - can't wait to host them in our new home.

Spring has us both (but especially me) eager to plant and nest, but we're kind of held up with that because of our circumstances. Still, I'm painting and cleaning and arranging in the boat, fun activities for me, while Tom does his own mechanical and electrical puttering. We love just being on our boat. Friday night the marina held its first-of-the-season pot luck party, and we contributed some well-received red beans and rice, which I cooked that afternoon in our new, improved galley. Pictures of that (the galley, not the beans - you've surely seen Louisiana red beans before) to follow.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day . . . .

Creeping along . . . .
