Green Acres

Back again, for the 18th year in a row. The routine is similar, the weather varies, the kids get older, the adults get older. This year was a relatively warm one - although it cooled off enough at night to make sleeping easy. I try to manage a few adventures each year but this year that was limited to a some brief explorations of the south end of the island. The kayak stayed at the lake - no salt water voyages.

D stayed in Seattle this year where the internet was better and breakfast wasn't served before noon. He sent us close up pictures of Russell Wilson and Taylor Swift from right below the stage at Century Link on Saturday night. He sent us pictures of the scoreboard in the 9th inning of the Mariner's no-hitter on Wednesday. And he reported that we missed a great thunderstorm on Friday. I didn't mind missing Taylor Swift and the no-hitter, but was bummed to miss the storm.
