….and some rare footage of Quinn waxing philosophical.
Please folks, ignore my amazingly high pitched, annoying voice. Lord, do I really sound like that?

…and a very curious dolphin.

My son took this photo of me. It is a rare instance when I am in a picture, as I am always the one behind the lens. Bill doesn’t like to take photos.
He lives in the moment, as it should be.

Me? I like to document things. I [...]

Little Miss Mimi is not one for heading below deck when out sailing. She wants to be right where the action is. She frequently tries to take the helm from Bill, and does not appear to be afraid of hanging on the foredeck (the front of the boat….when Bill and I crewed on [...]

In a mad rush we loaded the car, as we do every weekday morning, to drop off the big kids at school.
Mia was still in her pink satin nightgown, no shoes, wrapped in a warm blanket.
Honey was in the front seat, enjoying “Bye, Bye”….no collar, harness or leash. She was “naked” as the boys [...]

My life is never boring. Well, sometimes it is, but Bill always comes in and shakes things up a bit.
I had in my head the numbers 2009 as the year we would sail offshore and expand our exploration of the Gulf coast to include Florida and Mexico. I targeted May 2009 as the [...]

This is the time of year that brings fog to the coast regularly.
The water is cool, and the air tries to heat up, and all hell breaks loose.
It usually burns off midday, but the chill that it brings in the morning just makes your bones rattle.
Trying to find inspiration to lug my camera [...]

One Garmin 440 GPS Chartplotter

The man is in heaven. Now our navigation station is essentially complete. We can find our way through any waters in the US, Virgin Island, Bahamas, Alaska and Hawaii.
Mia, our onboard navigator, thinks it is soooo cool, and will enhance her knowledge of celestial navigation quite well.

The little Diva fishing.

Love the mouth action here as Bill tries to set a hook.

You would think he landed a shark or somthing.
The poor, transparent, nervous bait.

And guess who caught the best fish of the day???

As soon as she figured out she had a fish on her Disney Princess’ fishing pole, she dropped it and [...]

20 minutes on one of these is just brutal.
Brutal and addicting.

We went on a “field trip” today.Cuando un jugador de everest poker diferente del mano de o tome naipes por error, la jugada se mantendra en el caso de que ya se haya pronunciado, y en la jugada siguiente se pasaran los naipes al jugador de baccarat al que correspondan.
Can you guess where?

I swear [...]

We are simply devouring books here at our house.
I cannot recommend Sonlight high enough. We are doing Core 1&2, and it is a blast. I am learning as much as my kids!
We are using Saxon Math 2 (which has a bunch of review, so we are working fast through the first half [...]

We’ll call this PE, s’ok?

This morning I tried to call my husband on his cell phone, only to discover that he had left it on his bedside table along with his pager. I called him at work and asked if he needed me to bring them to him, and the answer was “no, I will be home early [...]

Did you miss me?
I’m back from freezing my tail end off in Ft. Worth for a week. Sheesh, how do you northern people do it? I mean, the temps were in the 20’s-30’s for most of the trip, and my kids were simply going ape from being cooped up inside. It was [...]
