Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Our trip to Rio Vista last weekend was a lot of fun. The weather was chilly, but the water was good. The shots below were a couple of scenes on our cruise. Passing a freighter is most entertaining. We’re so small and they are so big.

I’m thankful that we’re able to cruise. It’s getting harder as we age, but it’s a passion for us.

What are you thankful for today?

    It’s amazing to see a little of your cruise in video. Hopefully you were wrapped up warm against the chill but I’m glad the water was good. When will you next be going? xx

      We’re warm inside. The isinglass makes things pretty warm if the sun is out. We were going to go this coming weekend, but we’ve decided to stay home. I have no idea when we’ll cruise again. 🙂

    Looks fun. It may get more difficult as you age, but you have more time to cruise and enjoy it. No deadlines or jobs to rush back for. The water looks really nice.

      There was a little chop, but not bad. We’ve been out when the water would go over the top of the boat. That’s pretty rough water. 🙂

      We had a great cruise. Went the long way around, so it took an extra two hours. 🙂

    To ride over fast water must be a real rush. Glad you were able to get out. 🛥

    I adore being by the water, and here near Detroit, we see a ton of freighters and other boats. Just listening to the water lap is soothing!

    Cruising looks like fun… Thankful for two miles of wooded trails (kept in shape by hubby) for us to enjoy AND for a visit from Mama Doe and the twins last evening. 💞 Enjoy your journeys, Sandee! xo

    That sure looks like a fun time! I miss the days when we had our boat. We stuck to lakes and rivers but it was always so nice out on the water.

    I’m thankful that my peeps didn’t get blown out of the water in New London CT harbor when they were in a flimsy day sailboat. A US Navy rightfully yielded right of way. I guess they didn’t want to lose any taxpayers.
