Today Laura woke up at 9:30 to find the house still dark and everyone still asleep, even Wilson. After working the early morning shift I find it is getting harder to sleep in so I enjoyed this morning’s treat. At about 11:15 we headed out the door to visit Grandma and Grandad in Cathlamet. We made a slight detour to feed Susie’s cat on the way. It was a gorgeous day. Theo, as usual, had a delicious lunch for us.
I was able to find a few blackberries to pick although they were not as plentiful as I would have liked. The elk had picked off the closest ones and many of the rest were either moldy, or too high to reach or guarded by spiders, but thanks to Chris I did get a large tub filled. The girls made an attempt to help but couldn’t handle the spiders and determination required to get to the berries. It is really sad that none of my children find quite the satisfaction in berry picking that their mother does.:) They did enjoy the photo albums inside with Grandma and Grandad. We heard some interesting stories of Grandma’s move from Wyoming.
Last night Chris and I went to Mom and Dad’s and visited a bit and then played a game called Probe that we had picked up at a garage sale. It is a bit like hangman with each player choosing a word the others must guess. We also enjoyed talking to Jonathan and Tonia on the phone. We had a good time. The girls returned from their trip to George Fox to visit Kristin to find an empty house. "I wonder where Mom and Dad are now" We forgot to leave a note not expecting to stay out so late. Oops!
Now it is back to work and school tomorrow. I must go and make our sandwiches so they will be ready for tomorrow.
