Five Days on the Family Yacht

I haven't posted for a while because I was getting ready for our annual trip to Lake Chelan, where I totally relax and have fun. Now I am here, relaxing and having fun and also catching up on what's happening in cyberspace. I cannot live without my laptop.

So, yesterday afternoon, after the crowds had left the beach, my husband I launched the yacht. There is nothing so fine as being on the water, feeling the rocking of the waves beneath you, and listening to the water lap upon the side of your boat. I love to sit there and feel myself go with the water as I look out on the lake and the hills that surround it.

"So, uh, what do you think?" the hubby says.

"Oh, this is very cool. Better than last year."

"Well, we had a better year, we can afford more."

"True, and daughter number one is buying her own food now at college. That helps a lot."

"Yeah, and even though you quit your job to publicize your book, we're still ok."

"That's right."

"So, what do you want to name her?"

"The family yacht?"

"Oh, I don't know. You have any ideas?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Such as?"

"How about we call it Floatie One and Floatie Two."

And we're back to reality.

"Darn you, why did you have to remind me that I'm on a floatie. I was really getting into the boat fantasy."

"Sorry."

"Yeah, sorry my foot!"
