Time Flies

This past week has seemed to fly by. On Monday we did our normal cleaning and laundry. Did some house looking/hunting, shopping and had a quiet dinner of pasta with some fantastic garlic bread made from wonderful potato rolls I bought from the co-op.

Tuesday we took a drive to Stanwood and Camino Island. I am still in awe when we drive around the different areas in Washington. Stanwood is a community that is on the coast of the Puget Sound. It is an area that is full of agriculture and antiques. You drive through Stanwood to go to Camino Island, which is in the Puget Sound. We drove around the island to the Camino Island State Park to take in the views. It was there that I found this little fellow swimming around in the kelp beds. I really liked the area, the sun was shining and the skies were clear.

Later on in the afternoon, we went to David and Amy’s where Paul helped David cut up another tree for his winter supply of firewood. While they were doing this I was able to visit with Amy and Sienna. Sienna had her 15-months doctor’s appointment earlier in the day where her stats were height 31.25 inches (80th percentile, she‘s going to be tall like her daddy!), and her weight is 20 lbs. 8 oz. (25th percentile and thin like her mother). We had dinner at their house and played with Sienna, who finally kissed Grandpa goodbye! I am going to miss that little monkey.

Yesterday we finally were able to go golfing. We went to the Battle Creek Golf Course in Marysville to play on their par-3 9 hole course, but when we got there, the small course was closed because they were doing their twice a year maintenance on the greens, so Paul and I decided to do the front 9 on the regular course. Of course we left our drivers at the trailer, so all we had were the irons. We decided to use the “best ball” as they do in some tournaments, since it was going to take us a little longer to get to the green using only our irons. It was a beautiful course, kind of like walking through a forest with all the pine trees and we had a really relaxing time. And we didn’t do as bad as we thought, our final score was 45 (par was 36)

We are really enjoying our stay here.  See you all in October.  Love  DD
