This post an exercise in just do it. What's going on?
Ginger is on the road to Albany New York to live. That girl is a seeker and not afraid to make a move. She and Sheila are driving via I90 through the Great Plains and the winter weather. They were here in Seattle Friday night and we ate at Snappy Dragon.
Mom is in Tacoma at Heartwood...assisted living. 87 y.o. and Alzheimer's is pulling her over the horizon. Last week was first time that she couldn't seem to remember my name, but she was affectionate in a scatterbrained way.
Kathy and I are going to Vancouver, B.C. on Thursday for a couple of days. A different kind of Thanksgiving for us. Maybe do some holiday shopping while there.
Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch. Nur ein bisschen, but it's fun. K and I taking a night class so we can get up to speed with our daughter and have a second family language.
Lauren will be home for Christmas, hurray, and we're going off to Sleeping Lady Resort near Leavenworth for some faux Bavarian fun and snow time. When Lauren was home for the summer we went on a couple of short trips. Here's a photo near Mt. Rainier after a pretty strenuous hike up to Comet Falls.
Comet Falls 2007Our jobs are going fine. I've lately realized that retirement nears for me, but I don't get it in some way. I'll be old enough, but I don't feel like I'm that old. We can't afford it for a while....unless we sell everything we own and move to Appalachia, so I'll be working for a while yet. But, it's nice to know I could live in some modest house in a quiet place and get by just fine with a part time job.
More later. Movie to see: "Lives of Others".
