About a week and a half ago we returned home to tend to the real world and more importantly, build a snowman with Carmen.
On this day we flew back to Florida on a 6: 00 a.m. flight and once again Steve graciously drove us to the airport. Steve has been a tremendous help to us regarding this big trip. It has been a real challenge getting back and forth on these trips home involving planes, trains and automobiles! Not only has he hauled us back and forth but he has taken care of my grumpy, zero personality cat for 9 months! Aja is a beautiful ragdoll breed but no one's "dream cat". I owe Steve BIG TIME for this! Thank you Steve!
We stayed at a Sleep Inn at the Buffalo airport last evening and took their shuttle to the airport early in the wee hours to catch our plane. Otherwise it would mean leaving Pt. Breeze at 3:00a.m. and who wants to do that?
Back at Blue Moon and the sunny, stellar weather continues here. I wonder if Floridians ever get tired of the perfect weather all the time? Probably not. Although, you couldn't get me to live here in their sweltering summer!
Dave jumped right on his never ending varnish project. He also completed the mahogany rail repair from our "oops" landing a few weeks ago. Of course he did a great Dave job and it looks like it never happened.

Today is our grandson Cooper's 1st birthday! This past year has flown by and look at what happened while we were off on our big adventure:
He went from tiny infant to gorgeous little toddler just minutes away from letting go of that chair and walking. He is a pure joy and we were happy to be there for his big day.
Lili was happy too:
Tomorrow Lili, Grandpa and I have a special project planned. Hope she likes it!,

I started to work on getting the boat ready to close up for storage soon. Dave re-installed the stainless steel rails on the port side. Blue Moon is all put back together now.
We drove the 45 minutes to where the kids live in Wellington to baby sit for the evening so Mom and Dad could have a few hours to themselves. Lili, Grandpa and I scoped out a good location for her fairy garden. We put it together and hope the fairies come there to live.
Cute huh? We read a book to Lili about fairy houses and she was happy to see that we built it correctly for the little creatures. We see her not often enough but always make sure to read to her when we do.

We took a much needed 3 hour bike ride around the complex where the marina is located. It's in a beautiful gated community and the flowers are in full color here. The Captain and I have indulged like we have been on vacation for 9 months; I guess we kind of have, and it shows! We've got some serious work to do, fitness wise, when we get home, It seems hopeless until this tour is over!
Which brings me to this. Looks like if all goes as planned next Sunday, Dave and Ryan will be taking the boat up to Stuart where Blue Moon is going to be stored. I will drive up there and meet them so we can then drive Ryan back home. We will probably spend a couple days closing down the boat and then be on our way home. Driving. No more airplanes for a long time I hope!! So home in early April; this amazing adventure just a happy memory.
