Update

Life just trundles by up here. I get so busy doing nothing much that I forget to write and it is easier to tell a story here than over and over again as I meet people. That is assuming that anyone is reading this!
Yes... the boat. After much thought and grinding of teeth and wringing of hands it has been decided that a sailboat, much as we long for one, is too much physical work for two OAP's with four arms. three legs, and one back between them. So.. We are now on the hunt for a power boat, a sort of small floating cottage. Point and steer as it were.
The Better Half is building fences. He has just finished his second. This is done with younger backs to wield the sledgehammer. The fences are lovely and have a sort of zen like quality. Very elegant.
I am partway through a new painting and as it is done in oils, it's paint for two hours, dry for two weeks. I hope to finish by the end of June, humidity willing.
We attended number one grandchild's end of school concert. His stage presence was a little less than we had expected from such a lively boy. He never looked at the audience once nor did he open his mouth. At one point he clapped his hands over his ears. He seemed very relieved to be home where he turned into his normal happy, rambunctious, self. Well, they say the Stage is a calling. I remember his uncle having to be dragged off at the same age. Center stage seemed to be his home away from home!
Today as the sun is shining we are weeding the garden , making rhubarb and apple, visiting the Farmer's Market down the street, and possibly laying a brick path. Depends on the four arms, three legs and one back...
