September, really? It was almost fall-like for a few days but now it’s hot again, but not into the triple digits at least.
Way back in August, Riley kept trying to relax.
Ditto Lester. He’s lying on the case for our giant inflatable swan that we pull behind the boat and it has become a favorite spot for the kitties to nap on.
Here’s a hummingbird sitting on a feeder at Amy’s.
On August 15th we launched the sailboat, whoo hoo for that! Kevin backed the truck and the boat shot out off the lift and I was in charge of hanging onto the rope so it didn’t go floating away.
But as I pulled on the rope it quickly slipped out of my hands and I shrieked. Luckily a couple of girls had started fishing off the pier and without a word one of them grabbed the rope and saved me. I thanked her profusely but she didn’t talk at all.
Then it was my job to drive the truck home as Kevin and Mom motored home. I took this picture in the side mirror. I wonder if the girls talked to Kevin at all?
Mom took this great picture of Kevin as they set off. Mom has been taking a few pictures here and there finally and hopefully she’ll start taking more of them. I love this of Kevin.
It didn’t take me long to safely drive the truck with attached trailer home, and by the time I got there they’d arrived.
He pulled the motor up out of the water and all was good.
That was August 15th, about three weeks ago. He hasn’t taken the boat out yet, but we did manage to step the mast yesterday, which involved me pulling on a rope and Kevin hoisting the mast upright. He had the much harder job but my job was very hard for me.
Hopefully the weather will cool off a little and a breeze will pick up and we’ll be out on the water soon.
ok then,
Mrs. September Hughes.
