Let’s go bye-bye!

Loretta doesn’t care where we go, as long as she gets to come along. We needed to do a bit of work on the dock today, so we drove down to the river. It was a beautiful day. By the time we got there, Quinn had already fixed the problem with the help of a couple of his friends. So we just got to enjoy the view.

The two Nubian goats next to the river

The goats were out. One of them is not doing too well. I suspect it may be CL, but she is also the one that was hit by a car. They are sisters and starting to get up a bit in years. I am considering getting Nigerian Dwarf goats, when we move in. I think they would be good goats to start raising. And I’d like to have milk goats again some time.

The Aqua Home looks nice. In this new year, I plan to start working on the interior. I’d also like to get the engines working, maybe start to rewire the interior and replace the lights with LEDs. I really love sitting on the front deck, watching the river. I’d still love to live in the Aqua Home. I am hoping to have this as an option for us to live in while we rebuild the mobile on the place.

West Wind, our sailboat

This is another boat I’d like to have going this year. It’s a wonderful boat and we now have a motor for it too. I want to repaint it and learn how to sail a bit. This was Kate’s boat and will one day be Quinn’s boat. He’s not using it and I find it sad to see it sit there year after year. Maybe this year it will be different.

The dock could use work. The houseboats are a mess, but they will have to wait until the lawsuit is over. I got my trunk out of the two story and brought it up to the house. We are starting to pack some of the things in the house to move to the river for storage. I have a nice trunk, rebuilt, that Jeffrey bought for me the last year of his life. It’s nice to have it in the house with me.

And so that was a bit of our day. I’ll miss living in this house, but I do enjoy being down at the river. There are so many ideas that I have for cleaning it up and making it a happy place for us to live. Maybe this will be the year we finally do it.
