A Sailor's Dream

Monday was a hot and humid day.

It started off hot...

and got hotter!

MyHero and I decided that we

would take a short ride across

the peninsula to a little town

called Manitowoc.

We were checking out a motel on the water

to see if it might work for an

"escape" every once in a while.

Lo and behold..

Look! Look!

What IS that at the edge of the parking lot

that borders the hotel?

WHAT in the world is MyHero

looking at?

Hmmm....

Oh..it's only a bunch of old telephone wires..

isn't it?

No! It's not~ but I had you going there

for a minute didn't I?Ooooh..there is an adventurer hidden in

every man's heart.

Did you know that?

Trust me!

And-putting the laundry away

isn't on the list

of adventurous things to do.

Oh..look...there are the sheets

MyHero would like to fold!

Men don't dream about fresh laundry.

No~men dream about things like

sleeping outside under a tarp,

attached to a ship,

floating in the water,

with no wives..

joined only by..

scullery maids

and wenches
who will do their every bidding.

Under canvas covers-like this..

Don't believe me?

Ask your hubby.

If he says he is 100% happy with NO adventure

in his dreams..

that he loves you SOOO much that he

never thinks of another thing...

yeah..well...basically...

sorry to

burst your "happy" bubble..

He's a liar..

A big, fat

(or skinny, depending on the man)

Liar!

MyHero's eyes glisten

as he takes in the front of this beauty.

There is nothing like a boat..

or a special car..

or a motorcycle..

or a piece of new carpenter's equipment..

or a new tool..

to make the man's heart go pitty-patter..

sometimes they will even grin...

MyHero gets all excited when he sees

this... Come aboard, mate..

Adventure beckons..
The boarding planks are in place.

Step Aboard!Oooooh...and here's the tender

(the little boat behind the big boat for all you land lubbers)

Yeah...that's the kind of junk in the trunk my old boy likes.The flag is unfurled and blowing in the breeze...

Are you ready?

Step lively!

The tall ships are leaving shore...

Sadly, MyHero decided that

his big adventure today would involve

something like this..

Goodbye-Goodbye Tall Ship...

Maybe next year..

I will sail away with you...

(if my wife will let me)

Sure I will...

In your dreams!
