So many pictures, so far behind in getting them posted!

I spent a small portion of today editing my pictures from a revent visit to Seattle. It happened to fall on Gay Pride weekend. If you are interested in the pictures I took, clicky the link below to see them in my facebook. Don't worry, clicking the link wont sign you into facebook. It's simply like buying a ticket to the zoo. You get to go in once, but that doesn't make you a member.

Well, winding down for the day. We drove into Adams and checked it out. It's about the size of Vernonia, but split into 2 sections. Nice little town. We hit the local super market, and now we are home and grilling some dinner. I'm taking a break from round one of dish washing to sip on my gin and tonix and type, while Diana finishes up the food prep and gets out of my washin' way! The breeze is stirring all the drapes, and the evening sunlight is spilling through the trees, making dappled patterns on the walls and floor. Tomorrow I Geocache, and check out a big cemetery near here. Tonight I rest, make one more postcard to mail, and then surfing the net while watching- you guessed it! West Wing!

updatey goodness from New York State.

All my days are blurring together, as all good vacation days should. Today we have spent most of our time working on logging jewelery inventory, and I will sort it all tonight. Yesterday we hit Fort Drum, and I got a patch for the Mist-Birkenfeld Fire station. I hope to get one tomorrow in Syracuse. Lots of good food has been eaten, and much West Wing has been watched. I have also done a huge amount of sleeping, which surprises me. Really didn't think I was that tired out from life. Tomorrow morning I will do some local Geocaching on my own, and then we will drive into town to look at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Salvation Army and a few other things. Matter of fact, I need to see If there are any Geocaches in town.

The weather has been cooler and raining at night. It rained almost all day yesterday. Today is sunny and windy, but cool. Very pretty. The furnace guy showed up to do some maintenance, and he was cute! I couldn't get a flirt in sideways 'cuz Diana was hogging it all. I did get to stare, though, which is good, too.

Now we need to decide whether we are going to start painting the living room, or o something else.

I am in New York with Diana, and happy as can be! It was a long night trip with 2 layovers, but I managed to sleep some, so was able to hit the ground and be awake and functioning. It was hotter and more humid that I think I have ever experienced in my life, and I was sweating from places on me I didn't even know I could sweat from. Life; it's a constant learning experience. Today is cooler. We spent the day doing an art fair. Lots of jewelry was sold, and celebrating was had by all. Dinner out at a small restaurant on the harbor was a nice way to end a long, hot day of working. Tomorrow will be resting and then a picnic on the water. We will eat and swim and rest. I am looking forward to meeting more of the local folk and slipping into pure vacation mode.

But for tonight, I will slip into 'looking at the back of my eyelids' mode. Night all!

Yeah, I get it from my Dad...

I was walking through town early this morning and came upon a gentleman gingerly nailing a sign to a signpost. It said, "SDA picninc". I had no idea what a SDA was, so I asked him. He said it stood for Seventh Day Adventist, and that his church was celebrating it's 75th year in Vernonia. He was excited, and I was caught up a little in his enthusiasm. I responded with a loud "Holy crap!!! That's awesome!", then wished him a great event and resumed my walk. Only after several seconds did I realize that maybe responding with "Holy crap!!!" wasn't quite the best choice of words.Sure was funny, though!
