Almost Christmas!

It's almost Christmas, and that means it's almost time to move back aboard Latitudes!  Our stockings may not be hung from the chimney with care, but the mantel is decorated.

And the buffet, complete with a cookie tray that Nikki made for us last Christmas!

Even the old frig got into the spirit this year~

We've enjoyed friends and family this season, and are looking forward to a nice Christmas with family.

After Christmas, I will take my dad home, return to Roanoke, and we shall load up the car with all sorts of necessary things, including Sweet Smoke. 

New Year's in Oriental with friends, and then off to either sea or the intercoastal, depending on the weather.  I'm sure there will be a few days of boat work and provisioning before we leave, too.

So, I'll begin blogging again and will keep you updated as to our schedule (such as it is!)
