Thursday, December 9, 2010. My Little Garden Helper. When the kids were down to visit us in California, Brooke liked to go up to the little patio and dig with my garden scoop. After that got old she moved on down to another digging spot but the bucket was still up on top so she had to traverse the step with a full scoop. It wasn't easy to do.and Mor mor Carol didn't complain about the dirt falling at all! That's what being a grandparent is all about. Thursday, December 09, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. John decided to dig out the trailer so he could go out to Alaska Marine Lines to pick up the new dishwasher. He got out the adz and numerous shovels. It took no time at all (well, not quite) to dig free. I helped briefly with the adz and then cleaned off the boat. The rain is making the snow quite heavy. The water down in the gully was rushing under the snow and ice. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. When It Snows, Make. She needed hair so some primrose leav...

Wednesday, October 20, 2010. After 30 years we are getting the beam caulked. I worked on the section in the bathroom and the lower end with a tall ladder. After I ran out of height, John brought in the extension ladder and took over. He forbid me to climb it! After caulking, it takes a bit of fiddling with the edges.here the artist is fine tuning his work. Finished one side, now around to the other. Flying caulk hit the wall. John felt hot air drifting into the gaps at the highest points. Shuffling the r...

Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Pat out four logs and top with toasted chopped almonds. Bake, slice and cool. Then top with glaze if desired. The end pieces become the cook's snack! Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Little Norway Festival Parade. The sun shone for the 2011 Little Norway Celebration Parade this last week. I was amazed at the turn out.people were lining the length of Main Street and the parade stretched up the PFI hill. The lady in front of us kept her kids' stash between her feet. The Harley contingent took ...

Friday, June 3, 2011. Opening up the Cabin. It was long past time to open up the cabin for the season so finally we took time out of busy schedules to make it happen. . We left town in Wallys boat and were puzzled when an alarm sounded off and on. John took the engine out of gear and checked it out.good on the oil, good on the temperature, spitting water fine, and getting plenty of gas. Hmmmm! 160; Whew! 160; . John cleaned out the gutter that leads to the water tank and put the ...

Thursday, August 15, 2013. Camping at Pearrygin Lake in the Methow. After driving from Cashmere to Winthrop we unloaded at the campground. This year we were situated against the hill. Last year we were closer to the lake but this was a fine spot. The ground was wet from the thunder storm the night before so we had muddy shoes that first day. Maisy and Cassy were watered and tied down to the picnic table.couldn't let them loose! It was such a short tether that later Kent strung a longer run for them.

Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Babysitting at the playground. Last week I babysat while Annie went to Leavenworth to help out the new high school band teacher. She dropped Brooke, Oliver, Riley (Brooke's best friend) and me off at a playground in Dryden to spend some time. The play equipment was fun.here is Oliver climbing up the wall. Then down the slide he goes! Brooke on the telephone system to Riley. Up, down and around.many miles are expended here! The last burrito was shared. Do we have to leave?
