Well, the boat (the butt) has been winterized and put away for the winter. We chose the coldest, windiest night so far this year to do the winterizing. And of course, we did it in the dark. We were all very wet but 4 gallons of anti-freeze later it was done. It only took Michael, myself, Brandon and Justin to do it. Tyler missed out on the fun this year, he was working. On Halloween after moving Brandon and Kirsten into their new house Michael and Brandon wanted to put the boat in the garage so that they could work on it this winter. I was convinced that it would not fit but I was wrong, It fit but only by about an inch. Now the cars and trailer are in the driveway, the boat is in the garage and the boys can work on it. I have to scrape my windows at 5:30 am in the morning but the boat is out of the elements. I guess it is all about your priorities.
It is not quite Thanksgiving but at the Phillips house it is looking and feeling a little like Christmas. It is very cold here but not much snow. Michael, the boys and I put the outside decorations up last weekend. We also put his Star Trek tree up this year in the basement. I am hoping this weekend to get the upstairs tree up and the rest of the Christmas decorations. I am working towards a calm, enjoyable holiday season. Hopefully, we will get it.
