... The simple joys of land. More of what I do on land and no longer take for granted:
... The simple joys of land. More of what I do on land and no longer take for granted:
- Use fast Internet. WOW.
- Sit in a desk chair.
- Heat up leftovers in a microwave.
- Run gallons of water over the strawberries.
- Leave a nightlight on, even if it doesn't keep boats from crashing into me at night.
- Do laundry, right down the hall!
Don't for get to jump on the bed.
ReplyDeleteOpen the refrigerator door.
Check the mail (mailbox)
Open every door & window just for fun! (Gia's suggestion)
Run the vacuum cleaner!(It is Mother's Day!)
Cook with the crock pot. (endless power)
Have a drink WITH ice!
Enjoy;) xoxo
Working on it -- all but the vacuuming. ;-)
DeleteOK, you've talked me out of living aboard a boat. Great. Now what?
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly some trade-offs, far exceeded by the rewards!
DeleteIf you're in N.C., you could add these to the list:
ReplyDeleteMow the grass (it's rained a lot here this week)
Consider how to water-proof the basement wall where it leaked after the heavy rain (see above)
Grab a sweater for the morning dog walk (it's only in the 60s, after all)
Read the posts of a sailor gone awol (at least for a while) and scratch head ... :-)
Enjoy your time on dry land,
Laura
AWOL for another 10 days or so. Chip's keeping the boat afloat in Fort Lauderdale.
DeleteSorry to hear about the basement. :-\ But enjoy that chill. Summer won't be far behind!
