Happy memories remind us of our blessings...special people, places, and sometimes boats!

They do -for me, especially boats.

Nice aquatic memories. But I would like to say that Afternoon Delight is not a song from John Denver. It's the Starland Vocal Band which sang it.

I am in my middle 50s and my wife is in the early 50s. We also would like to age well. Thank you for your articles.

Hi There, I agree with you and the Starland Vocal band. I am thinking there was a version of him singing with them, but maybe not.

Wow! That is quite a nautical history! I like it when you write about different aspects of your life and especially loved the last dear photo.
