I do know that winter is not the time to write a post about boats, but there are quite a few of them up here. All year long they come and they go, they come and they go, and they come and they go. You never know from one day to the next just how many boats there might be.
All the boats belong to Brother Tom.
Today there is the big canoe.
A nice fishing boat waiting for spring,
and a big river boat waiting for summer.
I am sure if I walked around a bit longer I would come across more boats, tucked away for the winter.
I have often wondered just what it is he sees in all these different boats. Why is he so enthralled with boats?
Winter is not the season for boats, but it is the season for indoor projects like sorting out old family photos. That is what I was working on this morning. I came across a photo of a boat…and that is when I knew. I just knew where this attachment to boats came from.
There it was…the original boat. Hand built by Brother Dan when they were both very young. Who else would he take with him on the maiden voyage down the Sumas Canal but little Brother Tom. (Notice the nice invisible life jackets they had back then.) I wonder if he knew what he was starting? Did he realize that 40 some years later Brother Tom would still be searching for a special boat of his own?
Brother Dan…maybe you need to build him his own boat…that might end the search for the “perfect” boat!
Nice too see all my treasures are where I told them to,,,, STAY,,,,,STAY,,,. June,I will let you know a secret. There is no perfect boat, truck, snowmobile or tractor. That why it is important too have more than one. You missed the two that are out in the bush. I noticed you had two sheep, now there are three. Hmmm.
I knew I hadn’t found them all!
I feel that way about black shoes 🙂
I love the picture of the Murphy Bros boat building.
I have a pair of black shoes too!
A black boat, now that would be cool.
