September 22, 2020 - October 4, 2020
Tuesday started off with a trip to Annapolis for my yearly check-up with my primary care physician. While eating lunch at Carroll’s Creek Cafe we discussed the possibility of moving the boat to a slip at the City Dock in Annapolis. We both agreed that the change would do us good as we were not looking forward to a long winter in Baltimore. There is just so much more we can do safely in Annapolis and the change of scenery will do us good. After lunch I had my yearly mammogram. Fun day! We ran a few errands and I participated in the weekly zoom meeting with my three sisters on the way home. These meetings have helped us stay in touch even though we haven’t been able to visit each other.
On Wednesday I cleaned and did the laundry as well as baking a yummy apple crisp. We have been getting farm fresh fruits and vegetables from Diehl’s Market in Annapolis. It’s been a great year for white corn and peaches. Now the apples are being harvested and we are enjoying them. The market will stay open until Halloween.
My oldest daughter’s birthday was on Friday, September, 25 and she invited me to spend the weekend with her and her husband. I left early on Friday morning and arrived in Johnstown in time to take Jessica out to lunch and do a little shopping at TJMaxx. We ate at an outdoor restaurant. That evening we ate a spectacular dinner at a nearby inn. The inn was famous for it’s mushroom soup and we all definitely agreed that it was the best mushroom soup we had ever eaten. The rest of the meal was delicious, too. On Saturday morning we drove to Pittsburg to visit my sister, Becky, and her husband, Al. It was a great visit. Back in Johnstown on Sunday we relaxed and I made pizza for dinner.
I got back to the boat on Monday around noon. I like visiting with my family, but it is always great to get back home. Bob has been working diligently on refinishing the teak toe rail on the starboard side of the boat, but the rainy weather stalled his efforts. He finally finished the job on Thursday morning. Now on to the port side toe rail.

I had an appointment with a urologist on Wednesday afternoon which resulted in having to to schedule a CT scan and a cystoscopy for next week. Since it was almost happy hour we decided to have Margaritas, chips, salsa and queso dip at the Mexican Cafe.

On Thursday Bob went to Prince George’s Trap and Skeet Center to shoot sporting clays while I gathered at the water front tables at the marina with my boat lady friends for lunch. We always have such interesting discussions.

I enjoyed sewing and watching football on the weekend. College ball on Saturday and NFL on Sunday. The Ravens played the Washington Football team and won 31 -17.
How do you like the mermaid leggings I sewed on Saturday?
Stay safe, wear a mask, observe social distancing, and wash your hands. The outbreak of the coronavirus at the White House should make us all realize the pandemic is still raging and we need to follow safe practices.
