LET 2013 BEGIN

BEFORE 
on December 27th in Ottawa, Ontario
Needless to say the snowboarder in the family
loves the snow

This is the back of our son's truck,
I know he would appreciate everyone to see the amount
of snow he had to clear off

AFTER
This is now with an umbrella drink

WELCOME 2013. Did you make any resolutions? Paul and I have arrived on Coyaba here in Stuart, Florida. We travelled on January 1^st as it was the least expensive day to travel. We are now provisioning the last needed “stuff”. For example, beer, wine, chips, dips and lots of sunscreen... and as one son said “please mom, store some Aloe Vera on board”, which I now have.

It is hot and sunny everyday. I will have time to enjoy the weather when all the work is done on board. Paul keeps mentioning food items he would like and I literally do not have any more square inches to spare to store more pickles, hot sauces etc. The rolls and rolls of toilet paper we bought today took the remaining room!! No boater (or a house) wants to run out of that stuff!

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts, so when customers got unruly the bartender would yell at them. 'Mind your pints and quarts.' Hence the phrase 'Mind your P's and Q's"
