Really Hot Now

Summer has finally arrived here - who knows for how long! Supposed to be in the 90's for a couple of days and then 80's. Sure brought out all of the families in trailers for the weekend. We have been busy getting the boat ready for our 8 week excursion - all depends on the weather however. Fuel prices are keeping us from Canada this year, so we will anchor for long periods of time in the harbors that we enjoy in the San Juan Islands. Cookie will be 10 months old tomorrow and is still such a good "velcro" pup - snuggles tight when she is unsure or scared! She has walked docks with no problem and was on the boat on the trailer yesterday as we worked on it. We'll see how she does when it is floating and constantly moving. We have just enjoyed relaxing and enjoying life!

The Sun Is Shining!

It has finally stopped raining and we are having a sunny afternoon. We are enjoying our waterfront site in LaConner. All the others now have cabins on them and we are sure this one will have a cabin next year when we return, so we are enjoying it while we can! We had a great visit with our two daughters and their husbands last Sunday. It is always fun to have them all together! We have done the dentist thing for this year - YEAH. Ralph is over doing his annual maintenance on his parent's computer - seems to always have more than its fair share of viruses and trojan horses. We are taking a lot of walks with Cookie and she loves that. It looks like maybe we have turned the corner and the weather will keep improving. Tuesday we move about 20 miles, but will be closer to the shopping, so we can get alot of that done next week and not spend a fortune in fuel.
