Visiting a Neighbor

We were awakened early this morning just as it was getting light by the boat ladder banging on the side of the boat...it has rubber feet on it so no damage done but it is heavy!.....it just shows you how strong the wind has been. Again, tonight it is blowing.....we will haul in the ladder before going to bed.

Late today I walked over to the beach as the rain had not yet come and the sky was a bit lighter than yesterday. The tide was rushing in covering most of the beach.

Their were bunches of Beach or Sand Sunflowers all around the edges of the shore. They love the sand.  In the middle of them was a coquina rock.  Coquina rock is sand quartz & tiny shells...formed long ago.

We wanted to visit a home near us.... so I knocked on the door and a very nice lady, Hattie, came to the door. She was in her Pjs (it was another cold day and what I call a good pajama day anyway). To our surprise she graciously invited us inside...insisted on it!  We sat and visited for a while and then she gave us a tour of this large home.

This is only Half of the huge living room.

A carpeted winding staircase going down....

Kingsize master bedroom.

Lots of storage on each side of bed plus a built in vanity table.

Behind the master bedroom was a wonderful tub and a shower across from it.

Also downstairs was a Second bedroom with twin beds with a bath across hall.  The grandkids had been here.

Beyond that was a third bedroom with full bed and its own bath.

Back upstairs and then down another short staircase to the kitchen/dining area.

Across from the table was a nice kitchen...out of sight on the left of the photo was a double door refrigerator.

The next room was down another couple of steps from the kitchen.  Harriet called it her husband's man-cave.

Walter standing in the middle of it...... look close you might see that he is drooling!

Down the hall from the “man-cave” was double bed room with a hall bath...4 full bathrooms and 4 bedrooms!

So, where we were today?  Was it really a kitchen or a galley?  A living room or a salon?  Bedrooms or cabins?

Here is another hint: A large sunroom and behind the wicker chairs on bottom of photo was a large round table that would seat 4 to 6 people. 

Here it is...an 85 foot Hatteras!!

Still waiting on the rain & a warm day in Marineland.......
