2017: Woke early, loaded everything back on the motorcycle and rode over to the ferry terminal to catch the Yankee Freedom out to Dry Tortugas. Made friends with three other couples who were also camping - a duo who are also full-timers and exploring the parks, a couple who hope to do so in a few years, and a pair of friends who go on an annual birthday adventure together. Went snorkeling, walked Fort Jefferson, generally enjoyed the view. Lots of sea life, amazing colors in the water - our own little tropical paradise with just enough historic man-made stuff to keep us intrigued.
2018:
2019: My work from home day so Ashley headed out and shortly after dropping offthe trash she called to let me know the car's temp was climbing, so shecame home. Called and made an appointment at Ford and we headed that waybut could only make it to the Bayfield library. Called for a tow truck andsettled in to wait. Philip came and picked me up with a load full ofpellets so we went to drop those off and then I worked from home for theday. Ashley got the car to the dealership and a rental for us to use beforeheading home. Leftovers for supper. Slow day but things are in progress...
2020: Nice to sleep in my bed with Ashley. But not as restful with Lily rightthere. Woke a bit early, got some stuff gathered and prepped for taxes,then had to head to work. Got the new thermostat installed and weatherstripping on the back door. Home and held Lily most of the evening.
2022: Nice day to be home. We had breakfast and hung around the house. AfterLily's nap we went to the library (with the car seat turned to face forwardfor the first time!) where we picked up books, played, and read for a bit.Then home to lasagna leftovers for supper. We read and knitted/crochetedbefore heading to bed.
2023: Lots of packing. Ashley and Lily dropped me off at the feedstore on theirway to the art class. I picked up the Uhaul and headed back to the house.Having help to load was great - we had the truck packed with everythingthat was ready before Lily's class wrapped up. Ashley and I finishedpacking and loading the rest of the day. Ashley stayed up late to pick upNorma and Bailee from the airport, about midnight.
