Beautiful Weather

Ralph's heart rate is still 120 so he is on another medication that makes him tired and gives him an upset stomach. His anticoagulation is 1.8, so they upped that medication. Back again on Tues and Wed. He is supposed to walk, so when he is feeling good we walk on the paved trail here and try to get further each time. This week he wanted to get out so we drove to the top of Mount Erie for some spectacular views of this area. Then we just drove around the area to see how it has changed since we left in 2001. Since Anacortes is surrounded by water it has no where to grow, so it remains much the same. There are a few new houses, most of which are huge! Anacortes has changed over the years from a sleepy railroad town to an upscale town and prices to match. Cookie needed a haircut and since when I do her Ralph has to hold her and he can't do that right now, she went to the groomer. I wasn't sure I was picking up the right dog - she was beautiful! And the groomer said she was a perfect girl - could this be Cookie she was talking about! So, here are pictures of Cookie and the views from Mount Erie. And yes, the weather is beautiful - sunny and warm!!
