Good news

I went to the doctor today for my nine month check up. It has been nine months since I had bladder cancer removed. So far no signs of it returning. The longer I go, the better the chances that it will not return. One year will be a major mark.

We are getting excited about returning to Morgan on Saturday. I can't wait to be anchored out. It is coming right down to the wire of having everything done, but we are going to make it.

Women ask the dumbest questions!

                             Coming into Ocean Springs, MS one of our favorite places.


As you know we have been up north working to build up the cruising kitty. Two weeks in Alabama, two weeks in Kentucky, and about a month in Indiana. I could not even get a minimum wage job in Florida, much less something decent. We are just a few days from leaving to go back down to Morgan, then on Mexico for my daughters wedding, then back to Morgan and continue down the west coast of Florida.

We have a mobile home here in Indiana that we got after selling the house and getting rid of 90% of our junk. We have had it about a year and a half now. We did not want to burn all bridges when we left to go cruising. Take it easy and see if it is all it is cracked up to be. Well we are now ready to let it go. It is now up for sale. So I am getting it ready for the next person. Tonight I painted the kitchen. I put a second coat on the new baseboard that we will put down on Wednesday.

Here's where we get to the dumb question part. Sharon walks in while I am painting and asks "why didn't you do this for us? Why did we have the place for a year and a half, and now you paint it?" For the record ladies, a dumb question is #1. any question your husband does not have a quick answer for. #2. Your husband does not have a quick answer that satisfies you to the point that you do not ask another question. You just have to know we males are looking at the big picture and we have everything under control.

Well it is almost midnight, so I am going to bed, and hope Sharon doesn't read this till morning.

Cool video

                                               I found this video on youtube. It is fantastic.

We plan on leaving Indiana on July 4th and going back down to Morgan for a few days before continuing on to Dallas for an insurance certification on the 8th. We will then meet Michelle (our youngest daughter) in San Antonio on the 12th. We will then all drive down to Mexico for Rachel's wedding (my oldest daughter). We will be in Mexico for about three weeks. After the wedding we will be returning to Morgan to continue cruising the west coast of Florida. Unless there is a hurricane, that will change everything.

As I may have mentioned in my last post, I have been doing nothing except work work work work work since we got back from the cruise with Sharon's family. I am definitely read for some on the boat cruising time.

Work, work work work work work work work work

Unfortunately that is all I have been doing for the last month.

Since arriving back in Indiana April 19th That's all I have done. We worked two weeks in Alabama doing insurance adjusting. We spent two weeks in Kentucky working construction. The rest of the time we have been here in Indiana working construction and doing some day claims for another insurance company.

I am just about tired of it. But we are still aways from being ready to set sail again. In less than a month we leave for Mexico to go to Rachel's wedding (oldest daughter, one down one to go). We plan on going straight back to Morgan after the wedding.

We are in the process of getting our mobile home ready to sell. In fact is has a sign in the window right now. We put a storage shed at my brothers house and have been packing the family "hierlooms". We are almost done.

I haven't been posting because work is BORING.

Well I got to go to work now.
