Promises

March 7, 2012

I’m in the middle of a frustrating situation. These deals always make me ponder why people are the way they are.  I understand that we all have different personality types and that plays a very significant part of our “behavior” but there are some things that still elude me. My situation is that a piece… [Read More]

Houston to Albuquerque

February 21, 2012

Lots MORE driving yesterday.  Nearly 2000 miles in two days. I think I’ve said it before but I LOVE THE WEST!!  The mountains are so fabulous!! I also love the 80mph speed limit in southwest Texas.  SWEET! These photos are of San Antonio, TX, El Paso, TX, and a gob of mountains and terrain in… [Read More]

Tampa to Houston

February 20, 2012

Lots of driving yesterday – Tampa, FL to Houston, TX. I am absolutely in love with this country (The United States) – it is SOOO gorgeous and so varied.  The west holds a very firm grasp on my heart but I sure love seeing all the variety from time to time. The following photos are… [Read More]

Sold

Boat Sailboat Sold

Well… waddya know…  I’ve been praying for some clear direction for my life and I seem to have gotten it. I put my sailboat up for sale and it sold.  Wham! Just like that. So, I packed up my things, loaded them in my car, and am on my way home. I feel a loss…. [Read More]

Not Here

February 12, 2012

Not Happy Satisfied Content Here Now

My life is strange.  It seems that I always want to be “somewhere else” and want to be doing “something else”.  Living on the boat is very cool but I can’t stop the ‘somewhere else/something else’ feelings. Perhaps it is just finances. I am finding owning a house and a boat and trying to make… [Read More]

Away

February 8, 2012

Burnt Garlic Bread

I had a couple days off the boat – felt kinda strange. I made the three hour drive to Tampa, FL (Trinity, actually) to visit a niece and her family.  I’ve only been living aboard for a couple weeks but the feeling is still noticeable. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the SPACE.  I think… [Read More]

STRESS!!

January 25, 2012

Hunter 34 sailboat Dirty

Sometimes it seems that nothing ever goes to plan.  I even had a pretty simple one this time.  Step one was to arrive at the boat and do some serious cleaning.  Interestingly, the shore water faucets had no water. No problem, I’ll use on board water. My battery bank was dead.  Ugh.  I plugged into… [Read More]

Arrival

January 24, 2012

It was a very long drive but I am in Florida at the boat. Lots of cleaning is planned for the next couple days. Hopefully lots of good info and adventure to follow. I’m not sure why but I am filled with fear and apprehension.

Change

January 22, 2012

Finley Hunter 34 Voyager II

Finally, a change of scenery, a bit of adventure… I have departed for my boat.  Her and I will be companions for the foreseeable future. Is the house sold? No. Will it ever sell?  Who knows.  What I do know is that I have spent the last two years waiting and hurting. Every day is… [Read More]

Downer Day

January 19, 2012

Not surprising I guess, the contract on my home has fallen apart. I feel very cheated. My realtor was also the buyers realtor (sign #1).  After waiting for two months, the buyers lender (underwriter) wanted a second appraisal but the buyer did not want to pay for it. Instead, the buyer wanted to amend the… [Read More]
