Instead of having the problem that it's too cold to get off of the boat, I have the opposite - it's too hot to leave the air conditioning.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-37198844145991978982017-01-04T02:20:06.553-08:002017-01-04T02:20:06.553-08:00I bet you guys miss sitting out on your boat.

I haven't seen any of the new Star Trek, or Star Wars movies, and I'm envious. I think they should have a wine bar at the front of all hardware stores too, I hate dragging along for those shopping trips. We just finished back to back guests, and I can't concentrate on what to do next. Maybe tomorrow.Donna/Denali Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084071043127970610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-74993881850525324142017-01-03T11:40:23.917-08:002017-01-03T11:40:23.917-08:00Love this post, Ellen.

I'm not sure what a glow plug is, but it sounds interesting--if not great for engines.<br /><br />December was (mostly) wonderful. I accidentally burned a couple of bridges, so I guess writing full-time is a thing now, for better or worse! But other than that, it was great and I had amazing Christmases with both families. Couldn't ask for more.<br /><br />Happy New Year! J.H.

But, my husband was very excited when he found two ugly sweaters on sale for $10 when walking in a town one day. I stupidly washed one of them with our brand new white Wirie T-shirts after the Annapolis boat show and that was the end of the Wirie T-shirts! Luckily, it was after the show. Sometimes, it is better that husbands don't shop. And wives don't do laundry. :-) December was busy as always and in the New Year, we are looking at quite a bit of moving around.

I would not say I'm exactly looking forward to January per se, but I would say I'm looking forward to the results of getting the old body back into a semblance of a routine with food and exercise. It's so cold we don't want to get off the boat. But man, we already need to get off the boat.

It's mighty cold right now. I'm guessing another six weeks or so and the weather will be heading rapidly toward spring.<br /><br />I can relate with the boat versus home. We so enjoy our boat, but to come home to a huge shower, and lots of room really is nice.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-39258185563711683612017-01-02T07:53:08.386-08:002017-01-02T07:53:08.386-08:00The men and shopping problem is two fold: first th...The men and shopping problem is two fold: first the shopping, and then the spilling of oil down new shirt. (because the oil project wasn't supposed to be dirty) We like to have guests over after sunset and refuse to turn on lights so they can't see our dirty boat, dirty hair, and dirty clothes!
