While Mike worked, Kelly spent the day with Katie, Ruby and Violet on Silver Linings touring the town. We visited the local historic cemetery, and we rode on the double decker tour bus. We learned about the local history and architecture.  

Fun fact, houses that have a flat section on a peak roof with a railing around it is called a “widows walk”.  The wife would stand on the roof looking out to sea waiting for her sailor husband to return.

 After work, Mike and Kelly had lunch at Black Sheep next to the marina on the waterfront. We had a very good shrimp pizza. After, Mike went back to work for the afternoon and Kelly did some shopping.  It rained so she had to rush between stores. She bought some wooden blocks with the nautical lettering spelling “Beck”. Not sure where we will put it on the boat, but it is cool.

Our freezer hasn’t been holding its temperature lately. We defrosted it thinking it would help but it is getting worse. It is only at just above freezing so we are trying up to use the partially thawed food. We brought 2 pork tenderloins to Silver Linings and cooked them at their boat (their boat is bigger and can accommodate all of us). While it was cooking, the girls showed us some of their artwork. They are both talented. Violet has been making dog treats to save up some money to buy a henna kit. Kelly and Violet negotiated 2 bags of dog treats for $5….and the dogs love them! It was a great night just sitting around the table talking with great friends.
