Catch up with Chores

Today's sunrise

    I woke this morning with a pink cast to the boat.  The sun was rising and the clouds were magnificent.  Unfortunately, the clouds had taken over once Bailey and I began our 2 mile walk.
     Dan, Martha, Gerry, Jeanne and I shared the van to head to Oriental for some shopping.  We stopped at 2 boating stores and the Wal-Mart Express for food. Before food shopping, we took the opportunity to walk around Oriental. Jeanne and I took advantage of some photo opportunities.

     Once back, I cleaned the boat and scrubbed the cockpit.  Boy, did it need it. Took time to also fill the water tanks. Due to meeting a few of my dock mates, it took most of the afternoon.
     Bailey was feed and walked, I changed, then, it was off to meet everyone for dinner.  Ann and Bob from PINNACLE have also arrived at River Dunes.
     Apparently, the Cruiser’s Dinners were suspended for a while, but thankfully were brought back due to popular demand. . . and they improved on their offerings!  Tonight, we had salad, ham and bean soup, and a potato bar (baked potatoes with everything plus a cold dinger potato salad with shrimp.) Sour dough bread and dessert rounded out the buffet.  Everything was delicious. Coffee, ice tea and water are also included.

     By 8, we were all headed back to the boats.  Bailey needed her final walk and I needed to touch base with Pete. Mom has issues and the specialists are trying to find out just what. She will be hospitalized a while yet.  Pete’s unsure of when he will be heading back. Bailey and I miss him.
