Blogging is Hard Work/Update from Bangarang

I last posted a blog almost nine months ago. My blog about the three months Kent and I spent in the Turks & Caicos was drafted, but never completed and published. Hard to imagine that I just got busy, even though our life on Bangarang is pretty relaxing.

Kent sailed back to Florida with our son Ian and friend Scott...

While I flew home to welcome our first grandchild, Clara Jean. Kent and I were so lucky to be able to spend a few months with her over the summer!

 

Clara Jean: what a doll

Just in the last few months, I've enjoyed a visit with college roommates...

 

Shopping for orchids with Carol and Pam

Kent and I attended the annual Sailboat Show in Annapolis with friends and visited the harbor in Baltimore...

I spent nine days in Berlin with my friend Linnea to visit her family and friends...

But back to blogging. It's hard work and I've been busy with family, friends, and travel. But no excuses: I needed a break. 

So, I've just downloaded a new app that I think will make it easier to create and publish my blogs. We'll see. I like playing with new technology, and find myself suspiciously busy when all of a sudden the toilet won't macerate or flush, and Kent has to overhaul the head. Which, by the way, just happened! 

 

I want nothing to do with anything mechanical under the floor boards!

I'm writing this blog entry from a lovely spot in the Bahamas. See my next blog for our latest adventure!
