Sounds like such an enchanting evening! Your writing Kit is so inspiring - I always have vivid images of what you write, and I'm transported! Keep writing, please!
As a few have noted -- nope - I could not live on a boat. LOL -- I'm gonna hedge a bet: your friend and her family will bid it farewell in 2 years max! BUT I hope I'm wrong and it's a happily-ever-after story!!! ;-)
