Brings to mind the song "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay". I think it was by Wilson Pickett. I sure would love to "waste some time" sitting by the dock of that bay with house keys in hand. We all can dream for a little longer, dreaming is good for the soul if we don't get too carried away.

Where's the beach, is that like "where's the beef?" Can you just imagine two grey haired grannies with beach bags in had chanting "where's the beach?" I can, because it could even be me and one of my friends! LOL

Love your avatar, what a sweet baby! Can you imagine all the pools that would be popping up overnight? Now for the other 2 wishes.............hmm.

When I saw that before and after, I was tempted to get a can of red spray paint, select a spot in my yard, paint "The Pool", and wait to see the HGTV elfs would perform such magic in my yard!
It was a fun thought, and still makes me smile every time I open the blog page.

Boston is a most excellent choice for the UO. My most favorite memory of Boston was on the fourth of July. Two years in a row we booked a tour on "The Spirit of Boston" to watch the turning around of the USS Constitution, AKA "Old Ironsides".

While out in the Harbor, before turning back, the old girl offers a 21 gun salute, and the airforce does a fly over with a few fighter jets. The harbor is filled with boats of all kinds, and people display their Boston pride and patriotism to the utmost.
Not to mention the view of Boston from the water is stunning. The contrast of the Colonial Architecture, interspersed with the Modern is a beautiful study of Boston now and then. The city is just full of hidden gems, and you never know what you'll find around the next corner.
Boston, a great choice indeed!

Does that mean it's "anchors away" for the anchor artwork?

Now you did it! You've got me almost liking it! Do you know any gospel songs about beautiful sunsets?
That would make me smile, but then again you just made me smile.

Thank you.

I agree with your statement on the cubby, it was too busy for my taste, the anchor artwork missed the boat for me.

Double sadness, I was admiring what looked like shorter than usual stair heights on the front steps and waiting to see if they would be mentioned.
Very pretty front entrance, please can we see more?
