It’s October 14, 2015 and we haven’t blogged since June 6th
so I’ll give a quick update of what we’ve been up to this summer but have to
start by saying we just left the slip at the Harborage in St. Petersburg to
start our cruising season. Bring on season four!
As you know from Michael’s facebook postings we put the boat
on the hard on June 26th and drove to Arkansas. Our first stop was at cousin Chuck and his
wife Katie in tiny Conway where Chuck is the town Doc.
Where we got to view and
NOT use their newly built tornado shelter bunker; from there to Bella Vista to
visit Ted & Deb Largo. We always
have a great time there sitting on their beautiful deck over looking the lake
and gabbing away.
After Bella Vista we
went straight to our daughter Michelle’s house in Lawrence, Kansas. She had an exciting 4th of July
planned for us at the Royals game and the fireworks were killer. Michael had a little tooth issue there but he
got that resolved and I’m sure you all enjoyed his pictures on facebook. Then to
KC to stay with Grandpa Largo.
After Cherie’s return from the NALA convention in Tulsa we
rode the train to visit Sarah in Chicago.
Michelle rode along too so it was wonderful for all of us to be together
again. We sure do miss those girls when
we are out cruising but this Christmas they are coming to the Bahamas, Danny is
coming too.
Upon returning from Chicago we had a birthday bash for
Grandpa’s 83rd. Thanks dad for putting
us up during hurricane season.) plus enjoy some great company and food
especially the pineapple upside down cake.
Sarah just couldn’t stay away so she and Dan came down to Kansas City to
celebration her birthday, again lots of fun.
We spent time in Kansas City playing cards with the St.
Claire’s, celebrating many 60th birthdays, numerous Royals games
(Thanks Mark and Myron!), a couple of Chiefs games (Thanks Deb!!), plus a
fabulous King family picnic (Thanks Camy for all the extra work.) It was great to see a lot of the King clan. We
sure miss those Christmas parties where we got to see them all at once!
We enjoyed many fabulous meals with our KC friends and sure
loved catching up with you all. (Thanks all
our hosts.)
When we got back to Florida we had a nice surprise when Fred
& Janet Wells dropped in for an over night stay on Pura Vida. We sure enjoyed their visit. So now off we
go into the wild blue yonder again. And from the very start Mother Nature has
shown us who’s the boss. Better now than later!
Updates coming soon. We promise!
