We have been gone 9.5 months now. Sometimes it doesn't seem like we've been gone that long, and then at other times it seems like forever. Maybe because some how we missed summer. We had spring come in late July and now it's feeling like winter. 40s-50s brrrrrr
The driveway has been completed. All the bricks cleaned and relayed. I have been filling days weed wacking and mowing...105 acres requires alot of that. Soon I'm going to tackle blackberry brushes.
Last week we took the Island Elders to transfer day. That is always a great feeling being around all the Seattle Mission missionaries. It also gives me a chance to go to Deseret Book and spend a small fortune. Larry and I get alot a reading in, and I get books on cd from the library and I listen to them while working.
Saturday the Seattle Stake youth came to do a service project. 75 kids and adults can move alot of brush. We found the earth that has been covered for years with ivy and berries and a road was recovered from nature gone wild. Its amazing what fun work can be.
We went to Black Angus with Jodie and family for my birthday. We really wanted a Salt Grass ribeye, but this should hold us for a while. I got my rubber boots (polka dotted), a big fluffy robe and slippers to match. Everything I wished for.
Tomorrow we are going to the Glass Museum in Tacoma for our pday. Again being a senior couple has it's privileges.

Happy belated birthday! I hope you had a great one. Black Angus brings back childhood memories...there was one just up the road from my house. Hope you don't freeze your Texas behinds off this winter. Hopefully it will be mild for you. I'm glad to see you are enjoying yourselves. Man, I wish blackberries would grow here like the do in Washington, they're my favorite!
I'm glad you had a good birthday! I'm glad you got to spend it with Jodie and gang!
