More Staycation . . .

The night Sarah graduated from high school, I admitted to Jon that I had been lying to him for years. I told him that he could get a motorcycle when the kids were all out of high school. . .  lie,, lie, lie.  So he asked if he could get a boat or plane.  I agreed with the  boat, I could "drive"it if needed.

So here he is, dreaming.  Isn't he too cute?  He was thoroughly enjoying himself, looking at all the great options.  Then I took him to the appropriate section ...

Every boat needs a motor, look closely to
see it  ;-)

He shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes.  If you are wondering why this man puts up with me, just remember, he has NEVER  been bored.  I think he agreed that these were more our speed these days.  What do you think,. the smallest one, so that only the two of us will fit?  Sounds good to me!

OK, keeping in mind that I am in no way, nautical, when I saw these big white things, the first thing I thought of was the movie, "Operation Dumbo" .   Remember the elephant tranquilizer, the one that was not taken orally?  Hahaha, OK it's a stretch, but that is the what I thought of.  The other picture here is made me think, if it needs to be pink, maybe you should not  be shooting!

So this is the almost "staycation" part of our last few weeks.    After all the hard work in the brutal heat, it was so nice to get out of the heat, by going where we would be in air conditioning, get away from the unfinished work, and just enjoy some good company for a short time.  It was a little hard to come home, but it left Jon determined to get the digging out of his hair.  It just about killed both of us, him digging and me planting, but it did get done and we have been so relieved.  Since we have been still plugging away at the many projects, setting our home in order, or at least trying to.

Tomorrow starts a new semester.  Isn't it funny, 61 years old and my life still revolves around the school year.  I will have my little L's with me this year.  Not that it will be any less hectic.  That Lincoln seems determined to make or break us.  At least Jon will be here some, at least for awhile, so that does help when you can divide to conquer.
