The back yard needs mowing!!!

Our yard needs mowing!! Yeah right, that's a sentence we don't use anymore!! In fact, I think that's hubs' favoritist thing about living on a boat....NO grass to mow!!! The other day, I heard him telling someone, "he hadn't mowed grass in over a year & what a great feeling that was". I was thinking, "you haven't mowed grass in longer than the time we've lived on a boat", because I did 70% of the mowing when we lived on land!!  But, I digress!! I let him think his memories are accurate! ;)  I, on the other hand, actually miss mowing grass....sometimes....a little bit....okay, not much!!! :)


This is the current view of our "back yard", pretty sure there's no need for mowing!!! Maybe, some fishing! Unfortunately, we are not allowed to fish in the marina. Not that anyone would want to eat the guys swimming around in here! But, I don't eat fish anyway, so I would just throw them back! 

I watched Jaws for the first time e.v.e.r. last night at our marina liveaboards bbq pavilion/outdoor theater!! {that's a mouthful} I know, I know, who waits until the 40th anniversary of a movie, to watch it for the first time?!! Well, all I can say to that, is, I've always been late to joining in on the latest trends!!! :)

Almost positive I saw a shark this morning in our "back yard"!! I really don't know what it was, I only heard the big splash & saw the bottom fin....but it was huge, whatever it was!!!


{this is one of last times Joe was on a mower....and giving (one of) our adorable niece(s) a morning ride in her pj's doesn't really scream "mowing the grass"}....but, it sure is a cute photo!!!

My cup runneth over....& boat shopping!!!


This week I went and spent time with 2 of my nieces!!! It was three days chocked full of fun times with two, super, sweet girlies!!! We went to the play place, played in the puddles, had a wagon ride to the lake, played in the sand {hence the picture above} saw family & friends and took a train ride through the park!!! So much fun.....I am going to miss these lil' misses when I leave!!! Love them so so much!!!! 


When the wife is away, the hubs buys a boat....well, not yet, but he's thinking about it! Today, I was talking to Joe on the phone and he asked, "remember when I bought our Catalina and you didn't know anything about it?" I said yes & asked if it was going to happen again and then there was a long pause......I then asked, if it has already happened? So far, he hasn't made any purchases!!! But, he's been looking and has us scheduled to see some boats as soon as I get back in town!!! It appears we have next boat fever and I bet it won't be long before we trade up to bigger & better!!!

I head back tomorrow and pick up 2 of my nephews on the way!!! They will be staying with us for the next few days!!! We are so blessed to have so many kiddos in our life....I like to think of us as a cool aunt & uncle, of course, I'm sure, it helps that we live on a boat!!! 

Now, if only the rest of our nieces & nephews can come stay with us...hint, hint!!! ; )
