In our former lives we were avid boaters on the Great Lakes (Michigan). Our last (had 4 boats in all over the years) and final boat was a new 36' SeaRay and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 18 years as boaters. My husband is a private pilot and he owned a "Classic" Cessna 140 for 25 years...even restored it inside and out. But, alas, we had to sell our "toys" before moving down here. We both golf now...hubby more than me...bike ride & Bocce. I recently joined a quilting guild and am also taking quilting classes. Even though I've been sewing since age 9, I've never made a quilt. I also enjoy digital scrapbooking and just any kind of crafts.

YES, YES, YES...we're going through "excitement" withdrawal!!! We're really missing getting our boat ready for launch...which would have been this time of year...and everytime a small plane flies over...we look skyward...longingly.

I'm not sure we were ready to give up our toys and move down here to a much more sedentary lifestyle...but what's done is done.
