Winter moves to Spring
WE'VE SURVIVED ANOTHER WINTER
Time has flown! We just passed the second rainiest winter on record - what misery. Bob and I traveled to Arizona for a month, Idaho for about 10 days, and multiple trips to Wenatchee, Poulsbo and LaConner. Arizona was a hoot - lots of jeeping with Syl and Don, and browsing the shows at Quartzsite. We took Mom and Dad with us so they could enjoy the sunshine - they loved being there again after missing two winters for the first time in nearly 30 years. Joe drove over from Colorado, as did Sally and Dale. Dad did well on the trip - stayed as cheerful as possible in spite of the cancer.
We were stunned and extremely saddened by the death of our developer in Wenatchee in February, and the subsequent death of his 14 year-old daughter in April - resulting from the same accident on US97 near CleElum. It will be difficult to pick up where he left off - so many loose ends to deal with on the properties. Fortunately, we seem to have a very energetic neighborhood and there are certain families there who are putting in a lot of time to correct and bring closure to open issues. They are truly appreciated.
Our first trip of the season in March to Wenatchee went well. My beautiful red tulips were blooming all around the daffodils. Jim, next door, is getting ready to build. A tree which held the property line survey stake blew over in a wind storm so Jim put it back into place to the best of his ability. Since then we've been back four more times - two for pleasure (Apple Blossom weekends), once for the Talbot memorial and once for the annual homeowners meeting.
Claire is crawling, has one tooth & is coming to see her grandma on Mother's Day.
It is nice to not work - after ten long years of commuting!
Here are some pictures of family:
Dad's first training plane! I'm not sure if he crashed this one or not.
My dad - he was eventually a 1st Lt.
Mom ran out of clothes & had to borrow.
Just kidding...
