The boat

What a beauty! 

1968 Saber Craft, beautiful color (think robins egg blue with a little tourquoise mixed in). 

Here's how the story goes: 

Last Thursday, 15minutes before Open House at school I get a phone call from Ben telling me that Aunt Barbara and Uncle Dan are making room for their RV and either they would have to sell the boat that has been in the Guskey family for 50+ years or if Bill or us wanted to house it then they would be okay with that too. 

So Ben proceeded to fill me in how this would all work and insisted that he would clean out the garage and rearrange everything so that not only the boat would fit but also both cars and the golf cart too. After several minutes He asked me, "how to do you feel about that?" 

How could I even possibly say no? What an honor it is to house such a memorable keepsake for both my Aunt-in-law and mother-in-law. They both have shared stories with me and Ben about this boat and I can only wait till the few adjustments that need to be tweaked are fixed and we can take them both out on a cruise around the lake. That'll be a day to remember! 

Last Saturday Ben got home from his travels and was so excited to run down to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Dan's to measure the boat and look it over. We headed Down, unfortunately we interrupted their dinner but they graciously came out and talked ben through all aspects of the boat. Then it was decided that, Yes, the boat could fit in our garage and Sunday after everyone got back from church everyone would come up and help get it into the garage! 

And that they did! It was quite a site to see after working all day in my classroom to see the family up at the house angling cars in, moving around boxes and a beautiful prestign 1968 Saber Craft perfectly parked in the garage. 

Auntie B was very adamant that There needed to be enough room so Bridger and I could get in and out of the car every morning with no hassle and so I can say with full excitement that YES we can.

We have a little boy who comes home every afternoon from school and climbs the ladder next to the boat and insists with all of his might that he needs to "Drive the Boat"! There hasn't been a day since then we don't climb in that boat and let Bridger's imagination take us on a boat ride. 

We look forward to sharing and making lots of memories on this beauty they call a boat!
