Today is my birthday, Six Oh....my God! and my best birhday present was delivered four days ago....literally delivered in the delivery room. Cyprus Hayes Wilson was born on June 19. He was two months pre-mature but in all ways "normal". Erin gave us quite a scare and Allisons first word to us was that there was trouble. Yikes! But all is well and fast forward six months we anticipate seeing our first grandchild at Christmas.

We mostly enjoyed ourselves during the two month "move in". Marie was enchanted with the boat and setting up our new "home". I enjoyed installing new gadgets and equipment, but often frustrated with existing equipment that didn't work right and I didn't understand. There were many problems with the Raymarine Navigation equipment that did not exist during the Survey (boat talk for a professional inspection), and six months later we are still tweaking it.

We had a beautiful spot in the river of the marina with lots of wildlife around us. A very peaceful setting with beautiful sunsets. We had a car most of the time so we could get to the hardware store, West Marine, and all the other places needed to "settle in".
