Yesterday was the last day for the outdoor public swimming pool in Mytrle Creek. It has not been hot yet this summer and the pool is closing already. It is suppose to be hot this week ( I hope) and we will just have to swim in the river. Of course how hard is that? Emily stayed with us a few days while her mom made a trip to California to get another load of their things - they are moving back to Port Townsend, just in time for Emily to start Kindergarten.
The view from the cabin is awesome, it faces west and looks out over our neighbors 40 acre meadow to the snowcapped Olympic Mountains! There is a small pond, huge cedar and maple trees and more blackberries and salmon berries than anyone could want. It is 3 miles down hill to the town of Quilcene, Emily's school and the saltwater of Hood Canal.
I am going up next week and hire a friend of ours with a machine to do some clearing around the cabin. Get rid of some of the blackberries that have taken over.
It kind of needs it.
What a fun project, it will be so rewarding to see it opened up and space around the cabin again. I have been wanting to do this for a few years now.
I will of course take lots of photos.
I am back to one grandchild - the State of California gave Caelan back to his mom.....she was back in jail 2 weeks later and who knows who he is staying with. It was very hard for Beth and Emily to let him go but they were there for Caelan when he needed them. Because of Beth, he got to stay in his house and finish this year at his school when his dad died four days before christmas, and I am very proud of her. I can't say the same for the state of California.
This move back to where she grew up and has old friends could be good for her.
Thanks for listening. Thanks for thinking. I would love to hear from you.
