Musings

I’m working on a detailed blog of our trip, but it will take more time (perhaps energy is a better word) than I can muster right now.  Here is some blog shorthand:

Squirt is a natural fly fisherman.   He is 2 for 3 in days that he caught more fish than his uncle.

Our Washington friends and family [...]

I think this box I’m looking at is Turbo blog post… lets see… just in case it works, here is a pic from Liz’s visit.

I remember what I was doing when I was eleven.  We had just moved from California to Washington state.  It was cold!  I had a t-shirt that said I <heart> San Diego and I told my parents every day that as soon as I was 18, I was LEAVING!   On my 18th birthday I was packing [...]

When the pool warms up you know the afternoon temperatures have risen over 80 degrees for several days.   Overnight it’s been warm too, so the pool is just right!  We’ve only been in a couple times so far… I think we are getting used to having a pool!

Yet it took just one event to [...]

Last night Squirt had one of his best friends sleep over.  This morning they made blueberry muffins and ate like they hadn’t eaten in a week.  They each had six muffins,  two pieces of toast, two scrambled eggs, and a big pancake!    Wow!  

While they were eating, they debated a very important theoretical problem.  If the house [...]

Some tape and imagination make….   a bow and arrow!   It’s been cold here….brrrr… so “big yellow” had to come out of the closet.  Amazing he’s been wearing that coat since he came to live with us!  Next year it will probably be too small… he’s growing like a weed.
