HERE WE GO A CONDO LIVING



TOP TEN REASONS TO LIVE IN THE 

CONDO THIS WINTER


10. DIFFERENT CUISINE:

SOUP-chicken soup, kale soup, minestrone soup, sausage soup, mushroom soup beef barley soup-cuz it smells so good


ROAST CHICKEN DINNERS-mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, squash, green beans, creamed onions AND cranberry sauce-cuz it smells so good


TOAST-(ok-so I COULD have a toaster on board, but it makes a mess and takes up space) . English muffins, raisin bread, bolos, plain old white bread-cuz it smells so good


POT ROAST-my very favorite meal. And it smells soooo good!


A little different from boat food-a lot of seafood and burgers or steak on the grill. 












9. CONVENIENCES:

DISHWASHER-no more dishpan hands or paper plates


Sometimes the dishes pile up in the sink 

waiting for the maid. 


WASHER/DRYER-just 13 steps away. No quarters needed. 




What would we do without these prescription bottles?


8. ICE CUBES-unlimited, with the push of a button





Now, that's an ICE CUBE! 


7. SHOWERS-Hot and long 




The shower on Obsession


6. SPACE-so David and I can be more than 42’ from each other




Main salon of Obsession. We each "own" a side of the table. 


5. KING SIZE BED-that doesn't move




The brochures for the Catalina 42  say it's a queen-I buy double size sheets for it. Just sayin'!


4. SNOW-that gets shoveled/plowed by someone else so we can sit inside by the fire and enjoy it 




The dock during a snowstorm Last year at NHHM 


3. DECORATING-Snow Village here we come!




My favorite Snow Village house. 


2. EXERCISE ROOM-so next summer I can wear a bikini and David can wear a speedo (NOT!)


NO PICTURE! (Maybe next spring)


1. CHRISTMAS DINNER-with family at the condo





We are dockside at Borden Light Marina in Fall River until November 1 when our condo will be ready for us. The decision to cancel our trip wasn't an easy one to make, but we are even more determined to make the ICW trip happen next year. I'll post a blog reporting on the past month’s travels and events later this month and also record our November trip by CAR to the Chesapeake area that we would have traveled this fall on Obsession.
