Buttercup is behaving herself; the varnish maintenance is looking awesome; I’m going for longer and longer walks; I’ve found even more ways to stash things away into hidden spots; David is happily coding away on his computer; I’m happily researching something interesting on my computer; and we’ve moved Mahdee to a cute little marina called Pete’s Harbor where we have an end tie with a lovely view of a wetland across Smith Slough and—bonus points here–we’re in the slip right next to Jackie, Mark, and Amanda on SV Chrokeva. Extra bonus–they’ve got two sweet dogs, Dancer and Jasmine, aboard. So–we get to gossip with old friends and play with their dogs.

Yes, life is good. I am reminded again of the wonderful Edith Wharton quote I put on the back of our boat cards

“One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.” Edith Wharton

I do believe with this life I could live to be quite old.
