Tuesday Tell-Tales.

1. Things we did this weekend… Worked a ton more on the boat. Downloaded a decent stash of ebooks for my Kindle. Did some provisioning at my favorite (Trader Joe’s) and least favorite (Walmart) places to shop. Got Oliver’s nails did (aka trimmed and filed). Ordered a new foulie (Columbia brand — thanks Kelley!).  Watched the Oscar’s (even though we haven’t seen any of the movies nominated). Finished a Project Life spread. Organized a ton of stuff so that it’s ready to get moved on the boat. And booked a last minute photo sesh for later this week (yay!). Busy, productive weekend if I do say so myself.
2. So, Oliver has completely designated ^^our upside down dinghy^^ on the deck as his own personal dog house. I’m pretty sure he expects Jereme or I to add a comfy dog bed, a big bowl of water, and maybe a few toys, because he is seriously right at home under there. And he looks so darn cute, it’s hard for me to argue. Surprisingly, the area underneath is quite spacious and keeps rather cool considering. I don’t blame him for taking up shop underneath. He’s definitely one smart poodle!
3. Yikes! I just realized I do NOT have a cheese grater in my stash of “galley gear.” Why wouldn’t I have saved a cheese grater to keep on the boat? That is so unlike me. See, me and cheese are total BFF’s. Cheese is a necessity in my life and, I’m pretty sure, I will need a grater on the boat for various galley cooking. If we are able to find/purchase decent cheese in the islands, I’m assuming it will probably be in block form. And thus, the need to *grate* cheese for meals like fish tacos, casseroles, etc. Guess I’ll be digging through our permanent stash of boxes stowed away at the house to locate one of our old graters.
4. Speaking of cooking, I’m cooking up a quick boat project list update for the blog later this week. And keeping my fingers crossed that our next update will be the very last and final one before we set sail. Any day now. Any day. 
5. The sunset over Crayton’s Cover never gets old. Parking lot view and all. Look at that killer sun flare! I simply love it down at the City Dock (minus the random guy that stopped me from shooting sunset photos the other day to chat up a storm and give me his “photo tips” …I didn’t think it was worth telling him I do this for a living. 😉 And I think my sunset photo that night was pretty okay, right?).

Happy Tuesday!!!
