Fast to Slow

Now that we've arrived in the south our "to do" list has become a bit less urgent to get done. That's not to say we've been sitting around collecting moss. We have been able to get a few things accomplished. For one Pam was able to get an appointment at the beauty salon which is located on a houseboat at the City Marina. I made a new anchor bridle for the boat. Pam touched up her nails. I got the freezer/ice maker working again. Pam did laundry. I messed it up. And so it goes.

Before we left home we got connected to Skype which enables us to have video phone conversations through the computer anywhere we happen to be in the world provided we have an internet connection. We didn't really have much time to play with it at home but now that we are here Pam got connected and was able to talk to and see Oscar on the computer.

Oscar online! You can see that nail touch-up was interrupted. Only Oscar can do that.

January 12th is my Mom's 81st birthday. We celebrated by taking her and Dad to Prawnbrokers. A local seafood restaurant where we all had a delicious meal. Mom had lobster and cleaned her plate! After dinner we came back to the boat and had cake and ice cream.

Ordered fresh from Publix.

Happy Birthday Flower!

It's been a bit cool down here with highs in the low 60's causing the locals to get their parkas and gloves out. Fortunately it hasn't had an impact on docktails. Always able to overcome adversity, the die hard drinkers just move into someone's boat and continue drinking!

Well I think it's time to do something. But not until after coffee.....
