HEY IT'S FRIDAY


Yes, and as you can see  if you type in Santa Cruz on our little weather cam  to the left side --it is up to 72 degrees today.  It sure was warm as I was out there doing "windows" !  I   think I feel a little crispy...opps!
 Lots of action in the harbour as usual.  THE  BIG BLACK boat got hauled out and loaded on a truck and off to Seattle.  It's about 30 years old and has a lot of history in the area. 



Not sure if I told you but one of the workers has a boat he is working on; he had no use for a like new stainless steel water tank!!  He gave it to us!  Gabriel is his name???  Such perfect timing as ours had been leaking.  Now with the engine room empty it was so much easier for Claes to remove the old one and install the new one.  So, you see things happen as they should;  our motor is not in yet, but we will so much appreciate all the things that  Claes is being able to attend to.  The guys dont' work on the weekend so it looks like it will be monday before they start on in the install of the motor.  Ah gee!  I guess we will get to go back to that cool "Faith Church" on sunday.

We are very content and realized this morning as we were eating our home made granola (thanks to Patricia) that our living expenses are zero!  Other than food and a few beers of course!  So God continues to be good to us and we are getting alot more things done on the boat.


Went for a little stroll yesterday and want to share some pics I took.   The terrain is dry but so close to the ocean that there is some greenery.  Actually I will figure out how to make a slide show and present them all to you.

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

Image
As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
