Houseboat Living = HEAVEN

This houseboat, rocks you to sleep at night, entertains you all evening and you awake to an exquisite morning. Woke to see Sean off for a run, so jealous! He is in such great shape. He returned hungry and we decided to find a grocer. Albert Hein (whoever he is) has a wonderful market, just 2 canals from us, reminiscent of a small Sendiks. Making chili on the boat…seems unreal! We just want a real meal, eating out has been great, but it gets to be a bit much 3 times a day.
There is a nice flea market, (Shawano on Sundays plus) just across the canal behind the opera house (our view from the porch and the berths), did I say heavenly? Shopped a little while and then walked the men part way to the HEINEKEN EXPERIENCE (I know they wish Gavin and Samson were with them0, I’m going to get a pedicure and shop. (more later…
Purple toenails to match the Birkenstocks I found at the flea market, way fun! My aching feet, feel rejuved…thank goodness, we have only taken a cab once since leaving Dublin, I think we’ve walked “ten thousand miles.”
Boys should be back soon so I am just watching the boats pass by and catching up with the blog. The boats on the canal are in a constant state of enjoyment, people wave, hold up their cocktail of choice and generally “yell” something happy in too many different languages to count. Every boat has its own personality, different motifs, colors, ages, material…



Guy called home at 6:00 this morning, to wake Jill up…he didn’t wasn't really aware of the day it was or what time…have to watch him like a hawk! Sorry to Jill. Appears Jill and Sam are great roommates, way to go Sam.
Congratulations to Kieran Maltz and Joe Pintozzi on their graduation from MU tomorrow, really happy and proud for you and of you!
Time to open a bottle of wine..
