The houses we stay at usually have everything. Even fake candles! :-) Taking Spanish classes for free? Where do I sign up? That is a great use of your time. Better than boat projects. I do agree that prepping the boat for Matthew counts as more than one boat project! October was a bit busy and crazy for me, but November should be better. I hope for more focus on my writing and a nice birthday.

It was so fun last year we decided to do it again.<br /><br />In December we're taking a three night weekend trip to Fort Bragg with a suite with an ocean view. It will be cold, but who cares. Seafood here we come.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day and weekend. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.com
