Wednesday morning





Another grey, cloudy day.

Family news.  Brianne and David had their offer accepted for a very nice house on the Hood Canal, nearest big town, Olympia.  They are very pleased as it has almost four bedrooms and a greenhouse!  New kitchen appliances and lots of land for growing things.

Trevor came down with the cough from hell but is feeling much better this morning.  We talk to the Estate Lawyer today, Kate Crane.  I think we have all the requisite papers.  The government sure knows how to screw you up!

Wendy is in the 3rd day of her Chi Conference in Denver.  This morning she went swimming in the hotel pool.

Andrew Mack was awarded a nice bonus for his good work at UCSD.  He not only knows how to install cutting edge internet stuff in my house, which he can adjust from a distance,  but tore into my plugged sink and made it like new again!  Amazing family.

Jon and Sue are leaving for England in a few days.

Alex has a job in Paris for the summer so is looking forward to seeing up old friends, and baguette places.  He will stay with Wendy and Michel.  His brother, as I may have mentioned, will be with Microsoft in Seattle for the summer.

Ian may have to miss some of the reunion because he has been called to fill in for a sailor whose wife is expecting triplets, and is not doing too well.  The sailor is far, far away.

Richard is busy naming the koi fish and one goldfish.  He calls every day, and is very enthusiastic about everything.  This year he 'graduates' from elementary school and will attend middle school next year, grade 6.

Haven't heard from Jane or her parents

Hope everyone is reading this.  Love,  Val
