A Brief Hop and Skip Through Bliss

Summer is waning, though you wouldn't know it around here. . .It's been warm, warm, warm!

I finally downloaded pictures from last summer, so here's a brief hop and skip through our wonderful, wonderful, time. Thanks to many of you who read this blog, we had an incredible season. Thank you!

Here's Bea enjoying a view of Mt. Rainer from the Edmonds Ferry:

And my nephew 'Siah and I among the lupines in the Cascades:

Martin in fabled "Cicely" from 'Northern Exposure,' which is NOT in Alaska, but WA!

Then there was a short but time-of-souls-meeting with Merry's godparents and princes of godbrothers,

and with Elspeth's godmother and my dear, gentle friend from way back. . .

Getting reaquainted with Missoula (not a hard task):

and meeting this sweet house and garden for the first time:

Back in Washington, beaches and breathtaking coastline, cool nights, good food, good beer, good company

Lots of lovin'

Cousins who are sweet friends

Grandparents devoted to their grandchildren (and vise versa!)


And a freezing dip in the Puget Sound

. . .Of course you saw the trip to Texas in part; more later! The kids want to watch 'Leave it to Beaver.' I have lots to catch up on!

Great pictures, the kids are all getting big!
So that's what a Lupine looks like.
The only thing I knew of them was the Dennis Moore sketch on Monty Python.
"No more Lupines, bring us some meat, some Gold, anything else!"

Oh my goodness, Elspeth is turning into Merry and Beatrix is turning into Elspeth! Not that they are the same, of course, but we're having to re-categorize everybody's size. Those pictures make us miss you guys so much ... especially the one of Aunt Kendra absolutely covered in grandchildren.
