They say as you get older you should continue to learn something new to keep your body and mind active.  Well, I certainly qualify for this. In December, I took sailing lessons, it was fun, frustrating and fantastic.  This has been fun on so many levels.  Just being on the water takes me to a very relaxing space.  Along with learning to sail comes taking pictures of the adventure, which isn't new, but taking videos is something new and then what do you do with all those videos. Well, you learn how to create something with them, which I did. I have created a YouTube channel to share this new adventure.  My friend and I are avid coffee drinkers and not decaf, which we incorporated in our channel name.   Our channel name is DeepSixDecaf . So after about 3 weeks of pictures and videos today I was able to post a video. Please stop over to the channel and take a look, here is a link for you.  Thanking you for taking the time to check it out!...

How is it that the end of the year is so close?  I wish I knew what the heck happened to this year but I will not waste any time thinking back as to where did the time go. So, what have I been up to. Well, I have been playing around with my DSLR camera more than before, although I have not posted a lot of pictures, that will happen next year.  I have been watching, probably way too many, YouTube videos on sailing and boy are they great and amazing people.  I started to teach myself how to edit videos, which can be challenging.  It is amazing how many people have said enough of living a life dictated by others just to make the all mighty dollar for stuff they thought they needed but really didn't.   They sell all their stuff, buy a sailboat and head out for the adventure of a lifetime!!  So, I have taken sailing lessons and joined a sailing club.  No, I'm not ready to cross the Atlantic just yet, however you just never know!!!  I have pa...

Greetings everyone, Where has the time gone?  I'm not talking switching our clocks to gain that extra hour of shut eye, I mean the calendar year, it is creeping closer to the end of the year!  My, oh my! I'm making it my mission, at least for next year and maybe the rest of this year, to post more on my blog, whether it be just a picture here and there, a story of some adventure I may have been on or just about nothing. I hope you continue to read my posts and just maybe I will get more followers. I have discovered that Youtube seems to be the place to get followers or subscribers as they are called.  I have been watching sailing videos, people giving up their land life to live aboard and abroad.   Some very amazing stories crossing the globe on a boat and not only visiting amazing places but just the people you meet along the way.  I would do it in a heartbeat!! Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend with whatever comes your way! This pict...

What a great few days at the beach with a friend and her daughter.  It was the last big hooray before school starts and where else would you go but to the beach.

I just love sunsets and sunrises.  I took this picture earlier this week.  The colors are awesome.  Enjoy your week.

On our way to The Dog Resort.  Yes, you read that correctly. It is a doggie daycare and they love it.  No cages, care takers with them all day long, nap time and lots of belly rubs. They also do boarding and again cage free plus there is someone with them all night long which is great.  One big sleepover with dogs!  Their home away from home.  Actually I believe Colby, the fur baby on the left, would live there if I let him!
