Sunshine on my shoulders...
So happy to be strolling outside in temps near 70 with blue skies overhead! Yesterday we made the expedition downtown to the Cherry Blossom Festival, which probably, for you as it did for me, evokes images of an elegant avenue of shimmering pink trees along the borders of the Reflecting Pool, and...

Eating Out
I offered to Annie and kids out for dinner tonight... we decided on a place next to the first choice, not wanting to hang around a half hour for a table.

Long flight over a lot of country

Now, a little over 12 hours since leaving home, I am settling in at the house my daughter and husband (to be) purchased last summer. I saw it Before, and now am mighy impressed with the After. They have done a fine job on what I... Sign in to see full entry.

In Training: Walking, walking, walking...
Spending too much time at the keyboard lately, and remembering how laborious it is to keep up with the younger daughter who walks quite a lot, and keeping in mind that her new house has a steep set of steps down to a beach, and because Davy and I both need the regular exercise anyway, I have...

Where the Rubber Duckies come out...
This is where the last of the falls pours itself into the flat waters that will be called Capitol Lake by the time it comes to the bridges that mark where the fresh water of the Deschutes River connects up with the salty and tidal waters of Budd Bay, one of the southernmost inlets of Puget Sound.
