Boat Date Aug 30

Dave and Darlene stopped by with muffins and tea. We sat enjoying the start to a new day and decided to go for a morning cruise. We ended up out at the center buoy for Pictou Harbor. Right out there in the Northumberland Strait. Will turned the engine off and we just drifted. He suggest a good spot to sit would be the bow and Darlene looked at Kathy and said lets go. Life jackets on they climbed out the side window and worked their way up. Holding on tight Kathy enjoyed the first time sitting in the bow in the open ocean water. A speed boat went be sending a rocking wake but she survived. Darlene rocked back and thought oh I have to make sure Kathy is calm. The fish food ship came cruising out of the harbor headed for PEI. Dave was fishing and list a big one. The winds picked up and clouds we're rolling in. We started up the engine and headed back to port. It was a day of fishing. Another one wiggled loose of the hook for Dave and as Dave was pulling one in that Will got that fish bent the hook and swam away!! A good day on the boat just being boaters.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
