Sunny Days: What a Month!

We left FMB on April 12^th with Sunny Days on the hard to get new paint on the bottom. It is a 15 hour drive back to Nashville so we decided that retired people do not need to drive it all in one day. We arrived at Next Chapter at Rock Harbor Marina on Wednesday the 13^th in time to reconnect with all our friends and family at our home dock. Scott and Pamela Moore had seen our Boat Trader ad for Next Chapter and called about seeing her when we got back. Well they came, they saw and they bought. Suddenly we are one boat owners. We worked much too hard moving our stuff out of Nick’s Condo, Katie's, Next Chapter and storage and moved into our “dirt” home. The kids had come and gotten their stuff and anything we had that they could make use of 3 years ago—we did not repo very much from them so now we are left with a pretty empty dirt home. It reminds us of when we first got married—the only difference is the furniture we had then was thrift shop bargains and now all we have are the antiques we inherited that the kids didn’t want to use, 1 bed and the back porch furniture. We will work on the house this summer.

On April 19^th Leeton turned 6 and on May 1^st Holden turned 4, they had a joint birthday party on April 30^th. Katie and Scott are sooooo smart—they had about 25 children at the Y for a swim party and where the children had a lot of fun and options. Great Fun or as Leeton put it—the best day of her life. We celebrated Mother’s Day by going to dinner with Nick at the Family Wash—a trendy place in East Nashville that was wonderful. Best Mother’s Day present –Nick paid for dinner. I would recommend this place for sure. And our children definitely are the best—I feel very loved. Sunday of Mother’s Day (the 8^th) we left for FMB to either sell Sunny Days or put her away at Glades Boat Storage near Lake Okeechobee for Hurricane Season.
