LIFE AS A SAILOR -ON LAND???

Image
Wow the summer has gone by so quickly!   Here we are at Kye Bay Resort and beginning our last week.  Captain is back to his logging truck and Joey and I are manning the home front. There have been many many treasured memories

ALL IS WELL IN EL SALVADOR

The Captain is pleased after receiving pictures and a nice lengthy email from Santos the El Salvadorian that is taking care of The White Shell while we are away.  Oh, the pictures are causing me to be lonely. The painting of the decks should be starting next week and the toe rail sanded and varnished.  Pretty Pretty! Been following a few blogs and our cruising friends are moving along nicely into Panama and Sea Turtle is going on to Ecuador soon. Summer is a busy time for everyone- attempting to put as much "fun" time in a day as possible.   Here at the Bay all is well as I am  half way through our summer and looking forward to some quite time soon.  Until Fire Season begins   Claes is doing two week shifts at Wakeman Sound driving off road logging trucks.  The boating fund is getting fatter every day.  Joey is doing an awesome job patrolling the grounds and is my little companion day and night.  The hop...

A LITTLE STOREY TO LIGHTEN THE DAY

Two old girls, Rose and Barb had been friends all of their lives.   When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day.    One day Barb said, 'Rose, we both loved playing women's softball all our lives, please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's women's softball there.'       'Barb, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.' replied Rose.    Shortly after that, Rose passed on.    A few nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, 'Barb, Barb.'     'Who is it?', asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?'      'Barb -- it's me, Rose.'      'You're not Rose. Rose just died.'    'I'm telling you, it's me, Rose,' insisted the voice.     'Rose! Where are you?' ...

THE RAIN HAS SUBSIDED!!!!!

Wow! It did clean up the court yard so we are thankful for that.  Got up early this morning and Joey and I had our morning quiet time on the front deck of #1 with coffee and The Big Book in hand.  Truly, a beautiful time just sitting and enjoying this incredible spot in paradise that we live at!.  Kye Bay is one of the most beautiful spots we have seen so far.......... The week is nearing and end and the folks are real troopers...........enjoying themselves in and amongst the rain drops.  Pot Luck was rescheduled to tonight so if any of you want to join us.............we will attempt to gather in the courtyard at 6 pm.  The more food the better right? Have a great day and know that you are on our hearts; always  far and near old and young ...Amigoes!!!!!

A FAMILY CHALLENGE -- ARE YOU UP TO IT?

Received this from my brother Paul today: "This past Sunday was a Great Day in our family. Started out by meeting Joe & Isabel for some worship time in church, afterwards enjoying breakfast together. Great family times I am having with my older brother and Isabel, this really started again in the past six years, but has blossomed more since then. But that is another story! The reason for this letter to all is, what happened after breakfast. Colette came for a visit with Ronald and Patsy, visiting from Seattle. Joe & Isabel joined us at our house. We had a great afternoon together ending with Pizza for dinner. What held our interest for this amount of time was hearing about the involvement Ron & Patsy have with the DANIEL IGALI FOUNDATION
