To you, this may not look like much. But on February 4th, this will be home sweet home.
I am thoroughly amazed. In four days we: found a house, made an offer, accepted the counter offer, got the home inspected, certified and insured, signed the purchase contract, and arranged future maintenance and repairs. In four days in a place we had never visited before! And, so far, no buyer's remorse. Is there an emoticon for crossed fingers?
Besides beat up old cars, I've never owned anything in my life. So today was a huge deal when we made an offer on this home in the Tampa area of Florida. That is Doug in the photo standing on our own floating dock with the Gulf of Mexico only a short swim away. Please let them accept our offer, please...
Ho, Ho, Glub - again. Santa is everywhere right now. Isn't he supposed to be busy at the north pole? At least this time he was busy "making a list." Or maybe he was "checking it twice." Hmmm. When he saw me this morning did that remind him to add me, or to cross me off? The suspense is killing me.
Yes, Santa hats are normal this time of year - but on a scuba diver? In the water? Ho, glub, glub.
It doesn't take much to get the Maui Pink Cap Swimmers laughing, and the two AARP rides along our usual swim course keep us happily entertained. We used to get our thrills in shallow and dangerous conditions, now swirling currents get us giggling.
Congratulations, George, on finally graduating. Today was fun and we are looking forward to seeing you back in the water far more often. Click HERE for more photos from this morning's swim.
