Finally, My First Post!

Well, it's about time for me to get off my butt and start posting some blogs.  I've been procrastinating as I do not have a lot of patience when it comes to computer/techie stuff, I just want to log on and start typing.  But of course with a new blog, it doesn't work that way.  There's the design and how you want the blog to look, there's widgets, gadgets, favicons, and all sorts of other stuff that I don't have a clue about.  Hence, the procrastination.  

It is hard to believe that it is already the middle of May.  Frank is working hard to get Kittywampus ready for us to leave in December, while I am busy working at my job.    Both of us have missed not cruising this past year and we are so ready to jump aboard and take off.  For me, once we leave, it's all about the state of mind.  Now, it usually takes me a couple of weeks to get to that blissful peace of mind state, but once I am there, well it is hard to describe.  

So we are eagerly awaiting to take off once more, but while we are here, we are enjoying our family and friends.  We were lucky and found a great apartment overlooking the river.  

Above are some pictures of boardwalk across the street from the apartment.  Great place for early morning walks.  So yeah, we lucked out on finding this place.  

The river is filled with turtles this time of the year, along with geese, ducks, otters, and fish.  Soon the water lilies will be blooming....they are really beautiful during the summer.  This shot was taken last summer, but should not be long now before it will look like this again. 

 So, while we are waiting for the boat to get ready, we honestly cannot complain.  We are lucky and blessed to be here, working hard in a great place, readying ourselves and the boat for our next trip.
