Oh absolutely, surrounding yourself with treasured or at least pleasing items is essential. Having some pretty dishes make all the difference when eating a good meal. Being on a boat, with limited space must make one think carefully about what is important and pleasing to have. That is a good thing! BTW: Love Skippers water dish. :)

Having pretty things makes a big difference to me. I'm not sure if the fellows feel the same way. Still, visitors seem pleased though I am so happy aboard Seaweed that naysayers would only bother me a smidge.

During my Irma rant I lost one subscriber which did sting. Others replaced him so it did balance out. For me, I do see the bright side f life. And it's real hard to not have a great time in a boat in Florida!

The lockers are filled and I'm ready to go. The St. Pete boat show ends 3 December. One more grocery run to go. I am anxious. Can you tell?!?

Thank you Pam for your comments. They really make a huge difference. J.
