Weekend activities

Looks like you could stick a skateboard under Sc's feet
Off to the rope swing on the other side of the lake
Cai & Rw play in the lake. No big deal when you live and play by the ocean

Home and Garden

Dad kept the yard and garden green and crispy during the heat wave while I was gone. I think the Black-eyed Susan is especially stunning.

I tried Tracy's dill pickle recipe. I haven't ever done dill pickles before. We froze this good lookin' corn on Tuesday. The best part of freezing corn is sucking the sweet milk out of the cob after the kernels are cut off.

Monday night Charlee and I were sitting out on the lawn enjoying the cool evening when a stiff dry wind came up. It felt like a blast furnace. Apparently there was lightning too because this range fire started south of Shoshone. It looks like it's just over the rise but it's about 10 miles north.

Some warm photo memories of my stay at K & B's

...of evening strolls along the beach during the heat wave, trying to encourage the baby to come.
...of the stroll that included the lively debate about cops. Funny!
...of my hikes around their lovely, hilly town. There are many spots to get glimpses of the Sound and the ships silently moving in the water. B tells me they aren't so quiet up close, but from the land they are just a graceful visual and very watchable to me. This one is a barge being brought in by a tugboat. Cute!
...of the captivating face of a newborn and how he is the new ruler of the household!
...of watching a new mother falling in love.
...of watching Dad juggle the laptop and the baby.
...of a thoroughly modern couple relaxing in the early evening while baby takes a cat nap on the couch. They are probably catching up with all of you. However I have caught Mom putting the baby to bed only to head to the laptop to look at pictures of him! Sweet family!

Grandma thinks I'm "practically perfect in every way!"


Hi Grandpa! It's nice to meet you. Are you going to help Daddy stain the deck tomorrow?
