I finally made it back to my Blog. It must be true, that old saw about how time flies when you're having fun. Its been almost a whole year since I wrote in this Blog and so much has happened. Let me begin to bring you up-to-date!
The biggest news has to be that my second grand-daughter turned 1 year old this month, her older sister turned 2 on the 4th of July, they are soooo cute and the 1 year old is walking and getting into stuff. And then there is the 2 year old who is talking, and has an opinions on many topics. Anyway, being a grandpa is lots of fun.
The other big news is that Sue's book is doing pretty well. It was published this past May (the 27th) and Sue has had several author nights - one at Village Books (they're on-line by the way) in Bellingham, WA and the other at Third Place Books, in Lake Forest Park,WA. The book is available at the following library systems: Seattle Public, King County, Bellingham Public and the Whatcom County Library system.
Sue and I have continued to expand the vegetable garden and fruit orchards. We got a very nice crop of strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, summer & winter squash and greens of various types. This Fall Sue and I have been adding some structures to better support the cane-berries. The Fall sees me spending a fair amount of time splitting and stacking firewood - both for this year's burning but also for next.
Well, I'll close for now, its time for dinner, but I hope to up-date this Blog more regularly in the days and months ahead.
