Tomorrow is one of my favorite and most treasured days ...our amazing daughter Kim was born. What a joy and gift she has always been. We have been blessed from this miracle who arrived 41 years ago. Thank you, Kimmie-Kat, for being such a great daughter and mom. We are so proud of you and all that you are and have become. We love you more than you will ever know.
I am sorry to be missing my good friend, Kathy's retirement party tonight. Congratulations Kathy and welcome to the good life of day clocks and no more rush hour commutes.
Life in Port A has been rather uneventful, which is probably a good thing. We went to the Beach Lodge for lunch for 2 yesterday, which was 12 shrimp, 12 hush puppies, onion rings and cold slaw--- all for $14.99. All this was served to us by gravel Girdy the waitress. Sitting at this beach restaurant, with a coupla beers, just enjoying the breezes and sun is the way to spend a day. Did I recently mention I am so not missing working. Well the food was great until we got to the bottom of the bowl of goodies to discover about 1/2 inch of grease settled in the bottom. Way too fried for us. We paid the price all afternoon.
After lunch, we decided we needed ice cream so off we went to the DQ. We drove in to find a MN car in the parking lot, followed by 3 more MN cars that arrived while we were there. I guess only us crazy Northerner's need ice cream at 3 in the afternoon, Too funny.
We Skyped with Maycen and Brody last night, and it's so fun to see the kids, but makes me miss them even more. We watched Captain Phillip last night and what a tense show. Tom Hankes should win an Oscar for his role...he was fabulous.
Today we added 4 more miles to our log, swam in the pool for 25 minutes and filled up with Propane in the tanks. Word has it a cold front is coming....oh NO! Down to 40 something....it's all relative when they are closing schools in Minnesota due to the windchill and we're filling up with Propane to stay warm at 40 degrees.
The pond views are from the back of our rig on our patio....always time to catch a few rays!
