Thursday....

Today I took my oldest to the doctor for her knees. She came home yesterday and said she cried at school due to the pain. She has had bad knees for a few years now, but all of a sudden, they seem worse. She pops Advil daily and I'm tired of worrying....so the doctor felt her legs, x-rayed them, and did an arthritis blood workup. The doc feels that it is a syndrome caused by the legs growing, but the ligaments aren't keeping up. So....she is going to do some physical therapy and see how that works. She doesn't feel that it's arthritis, although she wanted to make sure, since she had the same pain in both knees. I just want her to feel better.

After the doc, we picked up hubby, who took a half-day off to try out the boat. We ended up going out to lunch and to the store, since it was absolutely POURING outside. Thunder, lightning, the works. It figures....the one day in April that it rains....

But, then the sun appeared; it's rays shining through the clouds, warming the earth and shining it's light on God's creation....and we decided to take the boat out. I had been crabbing all day that I didn't want to go. I have things to do, floors to mop, clothes to wash. But, he won this argument and we went....

I LOVED IT!!!!  I had forgotten how much fun it was to be on the water. As a child, we were on the water every weekend. I'm actually burnt on one shoulder. OMG....you should see some of the houses on the shore. I couldn't afford their boat houses, let alone the home! We did have one overboard issue....I stood up just as we pulled away from the pier to move forward and my beloved British hat flew off my head and into the water! We did two drive by's and my dd grabbed it. It is now drying off on the counter. Whew.

Well, I am going to go now because as you know, the spray from the water comes up into the boat, and onto the windshield....and I must go windex. Wouldn't want to be seen in a boat that was less than clean!
