'Twas a dark and snowy night....

Annapolis got about 4 inches of snow in yesterday's snow storm! Snow is rough for a boat, as you basically have all this water just sitting on top of your boat! Places that have never leaked before my develop leaks as the snow just hangs around and melts.

But it sure is pretty.....

Here is what things looked like come morning......

my parting shot before I left for work......

Colonial Williamsburg

We spent a couple weekends in Colonial Williamsburg. One weekend had great weather and the other was a little snowy but we had a great time either way!

The dogs got to meet horses for the first time. The horses were super excited to meet the dogs but the hounds were a bit more sceptical.

We took the hounds for a nice walk in the colonial village but didn't really get too much walking in as people stopped us every few feet to talk about the hounds and pet them. If you own a greyhound, you know how it is!! The hounds of course loved the attention! I didn't get any pics as I was too busy talking greyhounds.

Here are a couple pics of the hounds in the snow. The hotel we stayed at was off the road and had a huge courtyard for them to run around in! It was great!

How low can you go?

We had a couple days of a record breaking LOW, LOW tide. We were so far below the dock we had to lift the dogs almost over our heads to get them up on the dock! To give you an idea, standing on the deck of our boat, the top of the dock was level with my shoulders!!! I literally had to CRAWL up onto the dock!



Luckily, our boat has a full keel which runs the entire length under our boat so we just stuck right in the mud on the bottom without tipping over. Some other boats did not fare so well.....

Christmas on the Water

Wow, its been awhile! My camera broke and life took over. I got a great new camera for Christmas and I am back in action! I now have a Nikon D40 and it is incredible! I have been looking to take my photography to the next level and this will help get me there. Got a new computer which entailed getting new photo software and I think I have it all figured out now!
I'm going to start with Christmas and catch up to the present throughout the week.....

Kevin and I spent Christmas on our boat! It was great being home for Christmas after two years overseas....it was also our first Christmas together! I even put up some festivities!

Of course there were stockings for the puppies!

(yes I realize my stocking is the biggest but hey, I've had it since I was a kid!)

Here is our little fiber optic Christmas Tree! It was perfect for the boat!

Here are the pups digging into their stockings filled with bones, stuffies and chicken strips! Sandy and Jasmine dug right in....but Luke, as always, needed a little help....

We saw this sailboat in our marina...they really went all out!

We spent Christmas Eve at my mother's house with my grandmother, sisters and newphews. It was a great time and we had a huge feast!



My mother misses her sweet greyhounds! She even let them on the couch for a little snuggling and nap time!
