Boating This Summer
Boating This Summer – we bought an old boat years ago that we have never had time to use at all until this year. The motor that came with the boat was old and needed some attention. My husband proceeded to work on the boat when we got home last spring and the motor was definitely a challenge for him.
He has never worked on a boat motor before, but I have to say he is so good at fixing pretty much anything that I knew he would figure this one out as well. It took him a couple of months, after replacing many different parts on the motor, he decided to take the carburetor apart one more time. As he did he discovered one tiny little inlet hole that was still clogged with dirt and grime that he had not noticed before and just like that the motor runs like brand new.
I just realized I actually do not have a photo of the entire boat. I will have to get one taken. He has to paint parts of it yet, but now he has time for that with it running properly. So many lakes to explore, it isn’t a new fancy boat, it is a classic almost antique one would say. It is stable and reliable just like us.
Oh the fun we will have and the scenic views we will see together my husband and I. We are best friends and I love this man. A true relationship is like a boat, if you work on it, it will bring you such joy and happiness. Communication is like the motor, it keeps everything running smoothly. Lack of communication and the motor starts to sputter and quits eventually.
The boat stays afloat from a good foundation of trust and faith, not only in each other but for us, it is in our Father. With this combination, adventures await us around every corner. It will stay afloat for a lifetime until our time comes that we must leave each other to go on our last adventure.

What a beautiful area to see as you cruised in the boat. Your husband is a perfect companion and it is nice to read how you sing his praises … my mother always told me, (when I declared I had no interest in marrying after my father’s antics), that there were good men out there and I just had to find one. You were one of the lucky ones Sandra. That dragonfly is very pretty.
Thank you Linda, yes I am thankful to be with this one. 😊
Your husband sounds like a handy guy to have around! You two will have lots of fun motoring around in your boat.
Yes, we sure had a wonderful summer this year. 😀
Beautiful river views Sandra, boating, what a lovely relaxing thing to do
It really is, especially on a quiet peaceful morning, that is the only way to see these loons, way out on the back part of this lake. 🙂
We have several species of beautiful ducks that prove very elusive and stay out far away from humans. We think it is because of the shooters years ago. Even though they are now protected they still carry the fear.
Water is a gift – drinking it, feeling it on your skin, floating on it. Sigh.
Enjoy
Very true,thank you 😊
