A Captain and A Mermaid

Tales abound on the northern waters of the Chesapeake Bay....
where the Canadian Geese and Blue Heron play....
come and listen to our story as it is told.....
about a beautiful fair woman and a Captain so bold.

On the banks of the Elk River, they live on this bay,  ....where 29 grandchildren come over to play (ok, maybe only 6 or 7).


The woman though kind, gentle and true,
can rule the strong Captain with piercing eyes of sky-blue.

By day she fools us all and plays the human side,
 serving bloody mary's on the deck of a great boat ride....













....but, by night she morphs and grows a scaled fin, to join in frolic with her mermaid kin.

Now the handsome bold Captain, an ex-Navy SEAL, erected a castle of grand appeal.
It comes complete with a shallow long pier,
upon which many a drink was drunk with hardly no fear.

































He entertains neighbors, like Cha-lee (Phily for Charlie) and Denise,
not to forget us, the vagabond Reeves.

Cha-lee & Bob

                                                             





By day, the good Captain reigns over the Unions, 

then sprouts a SEAL-fin to surf with his Team-men.  Hoo-yah!

And last but not least to this big grand story,
is the mighty lil'  Dixie who rides in big glory.





Both she and Susan were relieved one day,
when Bob came home "tick-less" from a wild disc-golf foray.

"I found it!"

Hear ye hear ye, on the 14th October,
Leslie rolled double nickels (55)--another year older.
The foursome had a feast with plenty of grog,
which resulted in a silly photo forever on this blog.

We're ere' so grateful for buckets of laughs, 

to catch up with old friends long from the past.

Together Captain Hooke and the mermaid reside.....

happily ever after between high and lo tide.
