This is the story of Mary, Elliott, and Letitia.
Together we are going on a grand adventure and we thought you might care to look over our shoulders as we go.
From time to time we will publish issues of our "Adventures (and) Misadventures" although we've found that the text sometimes lags behind our intentions.

After retiring and a hectic two weeks or so involving a wedding, moving half a housefull of 'stuff' to storage in San Antonio, Tx and part to Letitia in Slidell, La we moved aboard her the first of January, 2004. After three months getting settled and gathering our courage we left Slidell March 28, 2004 headed for the East Coast with plans to summer on the Chesapeake Bay.

What  a great time we had there.

This page of our opus gives you a peak at that first year.
