Hiking again


Jennifer reminded me that I had stopped hiking. It felt good to be out today in the woods. It had been about 12 years since I had hiked in Washington state. The last time I had gone out to go on a hike, a couple of the boys had scared me. Doing things that I didn't think were safe.

I knew that if I went with Kevin, Sherry and the baby it wouldn't be too much for me to handle. It was fun.
We went to Guillemot Cove Nature Preserve, out on the Kitsap Peninsula. It was an interesting hike. The beginning was very nice. Beautiful woods with lots of ferns and alder trees. It would down a hill to a cove on Puget Sound. Once we came out of the woods, there were some abandoned buildings. The preserve had once been a farm. The interesting part starts here. There was water running into the cove...everywhere. Lots of water. At some points pretty deep...had to hold my pants up to keep them from getting wet!

We had a fun time, it got to be a pretty long day, but felt good being out like that.

HAPPY 80TH TO MY MOM

On February 4th my mom turned the big 8o. Last night a group of her family and friends met at Fido's Farm in Olympia for a celebration of her life.
There were about 30 people there. Chris Soderstrom the owner of Fido's Farm opened her home for the party. Many thanks to her! One of my most favorite people.
