Sailboat launch!

Our boat is in the water!  It was actually launched a couple weeks ago - just haven't had the extra time to blog about it.

 

 It went onto a slip for a couple days before we had time to sail (motor, since the sails weren't on yet...) to Bristol

 It was a beautiful morning - took just an hour to get to our new summer home.

 Then we put the sails on, and enjoyed some sunshine

 Looking forward to many days out on the water!

Fun at the BYC

The yacht club had a country 'hoe down!'  Everyone had fun dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls.  They taught us how to country line dance

 

 Good bbq and conversations!

 Lots of fun for adults and kids

 A great night!

Swap meet at Xfinity center

We did get out and about and made it to our first swap meet of the season.

 

 Lots to see!

 Chris sold a few items, as did his brother

 The morning was cool, but the afternoon sun came out and warmed us right up!

 We ran into some hot rod friends

 and we relaxed some too.  Bolts found a baseball to chew :)

Twix is 15!

She's getting up there!  But she is still the only 'kid' to always check things out.  Here she is in our 'sailboat' closet.

 

 She would help Chris work on cars if she could.  She is always active and exploring.  A perfect kitty!

The red coupe

is coming along!  Chris has been so focused, he hasn't bothered getting our other cars ready for cruising!

 

 The body is back on!  it won't be finished for a while yet, as the little things take so long.  But it's nice to be in one piece again.  We can fit another car in the garage!

Nephews are crazy!

My nephew drove from IL to MA straight through.  He hit a lot of detours, so it took him quite a bit longer than he thought.  His first comment when arriving at our house - I won't be doing that again!

He's done with his Masters and is moving to Boston to be with his wife, yay!  So, he left his car at our house, and we drove him up to Boston.  He couldn't wait to sleep!

 

They will be leaving Boston in a couple weeks, and moving to a suburb because they want a larger apartment.  And they will be able to have a car since there is parking!

Hot summer days!

One week, 50's and rain.  The next week, 90's and sun.  This week (yep, back to rain, although the temps are at least in the 60's).  So anyway - the 'kids' are enjoying some rare sunshine!
