I absolutely love them. I feel a photo show coming on.<br />Except for the mosquito issue, I am pretty sure that I want to be YOU.<br />Do you have to pinch yourself at all to KNOW that you are actually doing this, that you're not dreaming about taking off in your boat for a year, that you are actually DOING IT!? Just very cool.<br />And Ruth doesn't need to change her anonymous status since it's obvious who she is.

It will give Carly something to complain about later in life.<br />2) Which one of you got the 25cents for spotting the bear first?<br /><br />Last but not least.....it's taken me this long to figure out how to post a comment but I can only post it if I sign under Anonymous......whatever?!?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710570736125458110.post-68659008722670406652010-11-22T15:31:14.865-05:002010-11-22T15:31:14.865-05:00BTW.

As it turned out we left before the ranger came in to work this morning so she'll have come up with the lyrics without our assistance. <br /><br />As for the fenders (and as with many things on a boat)... less is more. Since you have to stow them - the fewer the better as space is at a premium. Laziness aside, it's simple to move them around plus you don't want them hanging of the boat, bumping around and getting beat up while you're sailing - it's bad form! Other sailors will be aghast and avoid you at gatherings. Check out the tug boats in the previous post.... those tires all around are their fenders and they need them all the time.<br /><br />I took the photo of Saralane and friends at the dock not by going out on the dinghy (which is um... IN THE PHOTO) but by walking across the pontoon bridge that the rangers and Skip are standing on in the photo at the end. They're on the fixed end of the bridge. The main part of the bridge is hinged on the side of the shore and gets moved in and out of place as needed. So much for being devoted to my craft....<br /><br />Cin: It IS warmer here! You know how much I love the cold right? I've put away my long johns.... but haven't broken out the shorts and tank tops yet. Hope springs eternal though.Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473925844496508089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710570736125458110.post-47331538738238112422010-11-20T17:38:58.170-05:002010-11-20T17:38:58.170-05:00Ohhhhhh, Leslie got here ahead of me.

No kidding.<br />Matthew has a site he was given that will take your photos, frame them and then make them available to you to sell.......but you probably already know this.<br />That was fine looking bread Mr. R-M.<br />We had French Toast this morning with Whole Wheat Honey Bread a la Maddie.<br />I hope you are seeing the same full moon that is hanging over our house right now. I also hope it is a whole lot warmer there than it is here.<br />Windy, 40 F.<br />TTFNCindy Barnardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710570736125458110.post-88219798720273164292010-11-20T00:32:33.297-05:002010-11-20T00:32:33.297-05:00There are fenders on a boat?

And where did you take the photo from of saralane docked for the night? Did you take the dingy out just to take a photo? Now that's devotion to one's craft.<br /><br />BTW - Lyrics as requested:<br /><br />Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man. <br />Bake me a cake as fast as you can; <br />Pat it and prick it and mark it with B, <br />Put it in the oven for baby and me.[1] <br />Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man. <br />Bake me a cake as fast as you can; <br />Roll it up, roll it up; <br />And throw it in a pan! <br />Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man<br /><br />Wikipedia advises that the song is often accompanied by hand clapping between two people - and the site includes pictures and a video to demonstrate.<br /><br />What would we do without the www?<br /><br />yfsLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603869915844136885noreply@blogger.com
