First Post

Monday morning, July 4th 2005
Jack is playing ball, he's oblivious to the squirrel walking along the top of the fence.
The vegetable garden, with the exception of the watermelon, is doing well, looks like we'll be looking for dishes that incorporate green peppers in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll also be swimming in lettuce, tomatoes, beans, celery, corn, cantalope and fresh hamburger soon.
Keri made chocolate chip cookies last night...I've eaten three this morning....that's all.
There's a teriyaki restaurant less than a mile from home. Their offerings are outstanding.
Since our neighbor across the street passed away in his sleep a few weeks ago, his children have been over cleaning up his house. I'm sure the house will be on the market soon.
With the exception of seeing four sheriff's cars parked at a house up the street on the corner yesterday, I think this must be a kid friendly neighborhood. I don't have an accurate count yet but there must be at least eight kids (up to about 11 years old) living across from, or next to each other just two houses up towards 38th Street.
I't s been a nice, long relaxing weekend. Hope yours has been the same.

Our house is quiet. T is in Seattle visiting with her mom and sister and the kids, well they don't live here anymore.
C and R played for a wedding last Friday night. We now have proof that if one drinks enough booze one can dance to bluegrass. We had the best time...peopled dancing, requesting songs, laughing. It was fun just to watch.
While I was watching these cats dancing I noticed a young lady I met when her father was referred to hospice. She waved and smiled at me. I later saw her mother who did the same thing. At the break the daughter informed me that the mother had to leave when she saw me. I felt awful. Hospice did a good thing for this family but we can't take away the pain.
