smooth

As in smoothy, yum on a hot day. Well, a little dirt shuffling today, then salmon sandwich and a frapichino then who knows. Life is good.

No soup for you

Too much snow for the wildflower hike. Too much snow for the hike period, phoo.

Sunny today

Heading to the Tipso/Naches Loop trail to check for wildflowers.

So, that's where it's going.

Another beautiful day.

Beautiful day in Paradise, and Ashford too.

Polly and I walked up the "animal escapement road" above the new county park.

alone

Polly and I are holding down the fort as Rose is off babysitting in Eatonville. I will be productive today.

Sunday

Sunday was the birthday party. It was great to see OLD (and I mean old) friends and family and to have cake and ice cream. It was a good weather day too.

It's in, but I don't win.

Dab burn it.

Got the new fixture in BUT, it's a tad bit thicker so, it hangs down 1//4".

fight

Attempting to replace fixture in trailer. New fixture not same size but only one for 50 miles. GRRRRR

old

man, I'm old. old old old

So, the funeral is at Hauganville on Sunday.

60 they say, I was 55 when I got whacked (by the Ford) and it's all been a blur since then

so it all doesn't count, I'm still 55

I think they call this the denial stage

haircut tomorrow

bit too warm

Decided no camp Muir on Sunday. Church and a bitty hike with friends (and dogs) instead.

Cooler today (Monday), brrr.

Rosie visited the dentist today with a sensitive tooth. Under a crown. The dentist thinks it's allergies.

Stinkin La Z Boy sofa has a bent part. Now, gotta get a new part out of them without giving them the old part until they are swapped out.

Mt Beljica

We hiked up to Mt Beljica with Bronka Sundstrom. Another great hike on a beautiful day.

She invited us up to camp Muir on Sunday.

been a while

Rose and I celebrated our 20th by hiking up to Summit lake and the plateau above it where we were married 20 years ago, July 7th 1990.

It was a beautiful day, a great hike and a great occasion. I'm so happy Rose married me.

Our friends the Farbers, accompanied us and prepared a great dinner afterwards.

Life is good.

drizzle

Drizzled all day, put a crimp in my dirt hucking plan. phoo

Well, summer should start tomorrow with a nice long sunny streak.

Polly

Rose took Polly to the vet this a.m. And I will start shoveling dirt.

A little damp out but not raining and summer is coming tomorrow with a big streak of sunshine and warmer temps.

It's our 20th on Wednesday and we are contemplating a hike to summit lake. Gotta see how much snow is on the trail.

Packwood

Pastor Angus was great, drove rte 123 back from Packwood thru the park and home again.

Went to "town" and bought soil amendments (and potting soil), 1x4s (cedar for edging), light tubes and bulbs for the trailer, pvc elbow and glue (plumbing project), fence gate kits (two), 10" galvanized spikes for the edging, RV cleaner/s (roof and bugs), etc, etc, etc.

And home again, home again jiggity jog. Yes, we took our dog.

The transplant (pun intended) is done. Rose and I built a new mound in our front yard for the plants we brought from Graham. They are all plugged in now.

We did Pac Forest again today first.

It's 50 degrees but the sun is coming out and we are headed to Pac Forest to hike a bit.
