And the weeks go by....still here in NY, and we’re beginning to have conversations about what to take with us when we return to the boat.
The nice drivers from UPS and FedEx have been our friends during these weeks as Fred orders more and more items to replace those things we ‘lost’ to the thief. No encouraging words from the GCS Police about catching anyone so we’re guessing that event will simply slide into history.
Whoever was in charge of the weather for Ada and Jim’s wedding did a fantastic job! Eighty degrees was the top number the thermometer scored, and that was perfect for an outdoor event overlooking the gorgeous Hudson Valley. We had two opportunities to get to know Jim’s relatives--the Rehearsal dinner on Friday evening and then the reception after the wedding itself. A good time was had by all, and now Mr. and Mrs. Seymour have moved into the ‘happily ever after’ phase!
I’m officially a sighted person! Tomorrow it’ll be a week since eye #2 was enhanced by Dr. Mary--she implanted a prescription lens, and also relaxed my corneas to clear some of the major astigmatism I’ve looked thru for lo, these many years. I swear my eyes look different, and I can certainly attest that everything I look at is sharper and clearer. I’m slowly adjusting to the ability to turn my head quickly without fear of losing a lens, and can’t wait to go swimming! Yee hah! To go from 20/800 to 20/60 in 15 minutes with no pain is a pretty remarkable experience!
So we muddle on, doing the things we do in New York--we meet with family and friends, hang new blinds in the last 4 of our five bay windows (only took 6 years to get to that!) and count our blessings. Will update when we’ve actually returned to YA--for however brief a visit--and know that one day we’ll return to our status as live-aboards!
Happy to have you checking in with us--we send love and peace and happiness to all!
Fred and Linda
