Pictures today....words tommorow...



Happy Saturday Y'all,


Yesterday it was 73 degrees. The damn wind was blowing like crazy though.


That wasn't going to stop us though, Hubby was bound and determined to take the boat out.


i packed up my boat bag with windex, 409, paper towels , duster, whisk broom , cigs, sunglasses, and "happy hour"


We spent the first 3 hours out in the cove , cleaning the inside of the boat. It's been sitting there since November .
So dusty, dirty, pollen and spider poo coated, is what she was.


Like I said ,the damn wind was just awful. So we probably had to start and move the boat about a hundred times during that 3 hours.

Drive and stop out in the middle. About 10 minutes later you've been blown nearly into the shore line. (AGAIN!)

Then we went for a ride and had "happy hour."

The sun was actually so hot ,eventually we put the "roof" up. Today I have a nice big ,red ,sunburned nose.











This is the earliest(in the year) I have ever been out there. Usually the trees are lush and full and green.
It was weird to be able to see through all the pine trees , into the empty dead forest. I kept looking for deer, but didn't see any.














Almost time to move again.













Anally organizing every nook and cubby hole.

















back out in the middle.












We tried to shield ourselves from the wind with this little island. It worked for a few minutes. :)







He got a lot more sunburned than I did.

Well , this stupid thing won't let me type where I want to. ack!!

Have a great Saturday !!! And a Happy Easter!

Hey girl...Soul said you may remember a recipe for Coke basted ham. I'd like to make that tomorrow...I do have one I found online...do you remember yours? I may like it better...Soul says its yummy.
Thanks!
p.s.
