We actually had about a day and a half of sunshine (well, non-rain, anyway) so I've been chopping down trees and blackberry jungles with a couple of great-nephews. Had to wear sunglasses. Can't get the piles to burn yet though. My biggest fear is that by the time the piles dry out enough to ingnite, we'll have grown a new crop.
I haven't worked in almost five weeks, but I have a love hate thing with work anyway. The worst part is getting a call at 6:30 in the morning.
Next week, Mary and I are headed north to explore the Skagit Valley tulip fields. She hasn't been up that way for over forty years. It's supposed to rain, but there is no advanced planning for a nice day. Dim Sum for lunch in Seattle, dinner in Bellingham at the Cliff House, tulips and who knows what else. It's only for a couple of days, but ya'll would be surprised to find out how much fun I can squeeze out of 24 hours!
Here's hoping that no matter what else occurs in your lives that you manage to squeeze a little fun out of the day too.

good morning Lou! :)
sounds as if you've been very busy...
and, that you and Mary have some great adventures in store! :)
it looks like i'll be staying kinda close to home this summer after all ...
not venturing any further than the southeastern part of the U.S. ...
but, that's a good thing 'cause all my extended family live within that proximity! :)
- well, except for my oldest brother, and i don't think i'll be planning a trip to iraq anytime in the near future ...
perhaps when he retires and reaches his island destination?! :)

i hope you will still be able to make it to TN sometime?!
and, plan to stay a while if you can ...
where we live is a day's drive to many wonderful sites in addition to bein' right next door to Nashville!

L luvs ya LauraG!

Hi!
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that you'll not make it out this summer, though I most certainly understand. I will make it to Tennessee, but I expect it may be a year or two. I'm waiting for my golden years. Ha!
Back to rain and wind. In other words, just another normal day in the NW.
I took some of the cardboard sheets they send with the bok jackets to the framers last week and they cut them up in 11x14, 8x10 and 5x7 pieces. I'm spackling and painting them with gesso so I can paint on them. I've got some ideas using colors of various state locations. I'll show you if I ever get them done.
When does Mini Cooper graduate?
Well, it's embarrassing, but its 1:30 and I think I should get dressed.
Needlesstosay, it has been a very laid back morning, but them again, I slept until 11! Ouch!

thanks for understanding ...
i'm a little disappointed too 'cause i really wanted to see you and attend the dragon boat races ...
but, the rent has still gotta be paid this summer ...
so, if i wait just a little longer ...
save a little more ...
have a few yard sales along the way ...
maybe i can make it up your way in summer 2012?!
all of us "coops" are looking forward to whenever you can see your way clear to make a trip to our part of the country too!

ya know, since the dragon boat races are an annual event in Portland
- been thinking ...
- wonder if i work on customizin' my kayak if they'd let me "bring up the rear" of the "parade" since i'm a bit of a "dragon" myself?! :)

your project idea regarding the canvas you are preparing sounds "very cool" and creative!

the "mini cooper" will be graduating on May 7th!
i think she's planning on entering one of the master's programs at CU next fall - possibly in education?!
right now she's making final prep. for her senior art exhibit.

it's always good to talk to ya LauraG!
- sending a hug your way
with love from, BC
