December 6-9, 2016 Spending time with Lyla and Parker

December 6, 2016

It was 82 degrees and humid early this morning, so Steve and I decided to go to the beach.

While Steve fished, I sat in a chair dipping my feet in the ocean.  SO nice. 

We saw a huge sailboat in the distance.

Noticed the bird in this photo.  Who do you think was the better fisherman today?

12:00- We went out for lunch.

1:30pm- Steve met up with Duane while I did a little sewing. 

5:30pm- I dropped Steve off at Nicky and Brent place while I met Nicky for a yoga session with her yoga teacher.  I couldn't believe I managed to do 1.5 of yoga and meditation.  It sure felt good.  Steve and Brent stayed home with the kids.  Nicky and I rushed home after classes knowing there was a roast waiting for us.  We were starving.

This morning, Steve and I went out shopping.  Trying to get some Christmas shopping done.  Steve was so happy to pick up the fishing rod which I purchased for him as a combo Christmas and Anniversary gift.  Now I know he can't wait to fish off our boat in the Bahamas. 

In the afternoon, while he oiled our bikes and cleaned them up, I did some sewing.

6:00- A couple from Montreal, which we met at the marina, came over for drinks and hors D'Oeuvres.  They had an unfortunate situation where they need to get a new engine in their boat.  They may not be able to go to the Bahamas for probably a month before it is resolved.  

After dinner, Steve and I finished watching the episode in the series "The Crown".  There were 10 episodes.  

Woke up this morning with sailfish fisherman getting ready to head out.  There is a big fishing tournament this weekend.  Today they were each bringing out a veteran.

John Hanrahan and Terry Finnigan from Halifax on the Primera Vista (Beneteau 43) who are also staying at the marina came over for a visit on our boat.  When I found out that John played guitar and ukulele, I brought mine out and he started playing them.  We will have them over another night and jam.  Yeah!

2:30pm- While I picked up Lyla and Parker from school early, Steve and Brent went fishing. They caught a Mahi Mahi.  

I brought the kids to the library. They just loved it.  I got a library card in order for them to take books home.

Huge Christmas tree across the library

Parker liked all the super hero books

Of course we stopped for ice cream before heading home.

 We all went to Mulligan's restaurant for dinner.  Steve and I were back at the boat at 9pm

So proud of my grand daughter Lyla who received an honor award for art and she also received a gold medal for making the honor roll.  



I did a little sewing in the morning.

1:00pm- we went grocery shopping with a couple who are also staying at the marina.  They do not have a car, so we thought we would ask them to come with us.  There names are Andree and George Paquettes on the Out'n About.

5:00pm- went on Andree and Georges' boat for hors D'Oeuvres. It was wasn't evening.  We were back at the boat around 7:30pm and we're definitely not hungry because of the great hors D'Oeuvres. Later we just munched on junk food.
