Monday Meanderings

We just watched the Mill Creek, Washington, Little League (AKA Northwest Champs) beat Hagerstown, Maryland 15 to 5. It was very exciting after watching Mill Crk lose last Friday to St. Charles, Louisiana. Congrats, Mill Creek!!



And I checked my email to read a 4 AM post from Sandy that Larry is back in the hospital due to heart fibrilation and Ilwaco's Hospital not being able to stabilize him.



At 11:30 this am, we talked with Larry on his cell. He is stable at the moment and was due to leave Ilwaco at noon and be transported south to Portland's Good Samaritan Hospital. He thinks they will change his meds to find "the One" that will steady his heartbeat. He doesn't like being shocked, I don't think....



Tom is making minestrone soup today, Monday, with the leftover steaks from the Lindstrom's visit (we went to the Majestic Cafe and ate on the patio instead of cooking at home, way too hot). Tom thinks the liver and onions at the Majestic is the best made ever, and boy their cabernet and protected patio sure are nice!!



Saturday we went to the Everett Waterfront celebration called "Fresh Paint". Local artists working with fused glass, and some painters, and glass blowers from the Seattle Art Museum giving demonstrations. There was a gal there using recylcled glass to make jewelry. The lime green earrings would have been perfect for a gift to send to Chiara next month when V, F, MJ and C go to Europe but they were waaaayy too expensive.

The temperature before noon was about 85 at the waterfront. Tom sat in the shade and watched the glassblowers. We both sat in the shade at Anthony's and had chowder in a bread bowl with shrimp Caesar. Nummy!! Oh, and did I mention the cabernet???!!!

It's raining and the pressure of the heat is off. How refreshing!!

I just talked to V and the girls; they're south of Chehalis on their way to Corvalis and it's dry. The girls remembered their geedunk stashes so they won't starve at camp! And yesterday MJ had a good time at hempfest and at friend Madeline's brother's band's session at Yesler and Western (whatever was happening there). Chloe claims to have it all together for camp and Europe!

Oh, to be so self-assured!!
