Vashon Island Visit
During our trip to Vashon, Bob decided to try out
the Kayak.
He paddled out to Pt. Robinson. I know Nate and Sue would be proud of him.

TEMERATURE RISING! This is the thermometer on our deck!
We have been having a week of very warm weather! Thanks to air conditioners, swimming pools, and the river, we are staying comfortable.
Today we have a golf social, luckily only 9 holes, so we should be able to finish. 110 degrees on the patio calls for fans, and "misters"".

6 things that I like
Anne has asked me to list 6 things that I like:
1) I like to watch Anne, Sue and Ryan hanging out together; it is interesting watching them interact, be silly, poke fun at each other and grow and change together as sliblings and friends.
2) I guess along the same theme, I love planting gardens, watching the flowers grow and mingle together, seeing them attract birds and bugs. The first thing I do in the morning, if I can, is take my cup of coffee with me and walk around my garden (those of you who have been here, know that it is a short walk) but I look to see how each flower bed has changed, pull an ocassional weed, pick off a dead bloom. Pretty exciting stuff. I love pruning but can do without the clean up and often leave it lying around for a week hoping it will disappear.
3) I like Mexico, the culture, the art, the people. Actually, I should say I like Latin cultures.
Spain, and Mexico. There is something about the acceptance of life as it is, the patience of the
people I have met in these places that I admire. I love the food; all cilantro laced and spicy. My next goal is to have a long visit to San Miguel de Allende, in the mountains of Mexico and experience the art, the architecture and the flowers there. Maybe be a one month ex patriot.
4) I like to create things. I enjoy the planning, the process and the surprise at the end of the project whether it be sewing, quilting, planting, painting or cooking.
5) I like that I like quite time when I can be alone without tv, noise, just me thinking about things, or reading about things, or hanging out with Wileycat.
6) I like dancing and singing. Not watching it so much as doing it! (for instance I don't watch shows like American Idol.) I love Karaoke and think that in my next life I will be a great entertainer.
