Most people are not wearing masks anymore whether vaccinated or not.

Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
I rode home with Abby after the BBQ and was able to spend about two weeks with her in Shoreline. While she worked from home during the day, I spent most of her work hours playing pickleball at Yost Park (which was only 4 miles away), and running errands. Before or after dinner we often… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ
We took the scenic drive from Seaside to Tacoma/Lakewood…of course. LOL It was actually a very pleasant drive. Although there was one point when I noticed a deer at the edge of the road that was a bit unnerving. I tapped the break to slow down and Barry said he braced for impact, but she… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ

Multnomah Falls and 115 Degree Temp w/Best Friends
I was so excited to meet up with Lynne and Eric Ogren – my best friends from Oak Harbor. Barry and I had an incredible visit with them when they lived in Wrangell, Alaska.

Unexpected Set Backs
A couple of medical issues provided a bit of drama, not to mention a bit of a scare as we were starting our summer adventures… Sorry–no real pictures to accompany most of this blog entry. I think you’ll understand why. This is also why it has been so important to us that we BOTH are… Continue reading Unexpected Set Backs
Beach Time with Nana & Papa
We ended our time in Southern California with a full week at Silver Strand State Beach, June 6-June 13. This timeframe worked out great since Justin was off work for most of the week. He was able to bring Isaac and Mona out to us on Tuesday to stay for 3 days/2 nights. This was… Continue reading Beach Time with Nana & Papa

Children’s Museum Reopens
Isaac was so excited to tell us that the New Children’s Museum of San Diego was reopening! We’ve had annual memberships for him (and Mona) since he was two years old. We took Isaac, Erika and Justin to the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett when they came up to visit October 2017. Isaac was 13… Continue reading Children’s Museum Reopens
Hiking “Mt. Pio”
Today, Isaac, Barry and I went for a hike here at Pio Pico Thousand Trails. Isaac was so excited! We said we’d take a lunch with us to eat up on the “mountain”. Isaac insisted on wearing his little Daniel Tiger backpack, and that he would carry the lunches. We kept it simple with PBJ… Continue reading Hiking “Mt. Pio”
