As May comes to an end, what's around the bend for June?  A graduation.  A daughter returning then leaving again.  A visit form Mom.  A graduation party.  Jury duty.  A first Saturday!  Exploring Oregon City.  A prom.

Look who FINALLY got back on the lake!  Felt good enough, weather was good enough, and Bruce was able to help.  The stars aligned, I got a short paddle in.

05-29-16

Bruce is a bit bored this weekend, but it feels good to be home and get some projects marked off the list.  The year is almost half over and I feel like I'm stuck back in February somehow.  Today helped!

Headed north again, Ingressing on our way to see the kids.  We stopped to explore Saint Martin's University.  I had heard of it, but didn’t know much about it.  It a coed Catholic liberal arts university, starting in 1895 as an all-boys boarding school.

Busy week, plans every night.
To Olympia for a BiggerPockets meet-up.
Talking about real estate sure energizes me!

Small groups are for doing life together.  Including mission work. Like serving the youth taco feed dinner.

Pop up party on the block!
After changing the date of the adopt-a-block event due to rain, lost the help I had.
I went door to door as fast as I could while Bruce chatted with residents and helped with the sand art craft.  What a guy!

A road well traveled.

Enjoy the scenery, not the manure smells.

Are you kidding me?!?

I was never called when we lived in Seattle & Federal Way.  In Aberdeen I was called once.  This is my third time for Longview.

At least so far my service has been limited to one day, hope that trend continues...

Tonight was the Mr & Mrs Lumberjack pageant, a fundraiser for local food banks and Camp Attitude.  All of the kids did great, a lot of talent and laughs.

The quack attack!  Someone is up to no good...

It feels like summer.  Nice and warm. Lots to see.

I love ebay!

Seems I often can't find exactly what I want, but I find fun diversions.

Like this lot of summer belts.  For the same price as a dumb box store belt.

Three photos today that I love, hard to pick.  In a place that I love, with people I love -  we headed up to Seattle to visit with Anastasia.

Each year a local dentist office has kids paint their parking spaces.  We toured through the lot while the kids were in action admiring the creativity and great execution.

TGIF!  Friday the 13th!

Bruce and I went on a long squirrel walk.  At the civic circle the live ones were interested in us, at the library the fake one looked.

Squirrel Fest and Relay for Life are on the same day this year,t here is always some reason why we can't hang out at Squirrel Fest...

Pie social at work today to say farewell to Linda.  The guys were hoping I could bring home some leftovers, managed a few slices...

I can spend time at the lake int he morning, or int he evening, but don't seem to be able to string together enough healthy hours to do both... sure a lovely evening!

TGIF!  A lovely evening, sat out on the porch relaxing for a long time.  Not very flattering, but TGIF! Maybe if I got more done on Friday evenings I'd have less left for Sunday!  Oh well, TGIF!

Sometimes I love picking out my own gift.  Like with hanging baskets.  I'm picky about the kind of white flowers...

05-04-16

Feeling yucky again.  To work and small group, everything else dropped by the wayside... look alive!
