I was talking on the phone with grandson Michael today when, in answer to my question, he said that “school was fantastic … brilliant!” I responded that he should write about it in his blog. Then I thought about how I haven’t been all that regular about writing either! So, Michael, I’m repenting…. Tag, you’re it!

The past several days have been occupied with cleaning out the closet in the office/computer room. I’m about half way through one side of the closet and haven’t really gotten to the difficult part. There are so many “treasures” in there that I’m going to have to make a decision about. They got tossed in there because it was then easier to procrastinate the decision, but now the closet is full and the weeding out has begun. But what do I do with all the foreign electrical adapters that I have? I’ve got them for England, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines. I can probably go anywhere in the world and be able to plug into electricity. Throwing them away is such a final thing. If I make room for them in the storage room downstairs, I’m probably just postponing the decision once again.  I think I’ll just move the pile. Who knows, I may be back in those parts of the world once again! The employment possibilities are starting to come to fruition. It looks like I’ll just have to make space in my life once again to go to work…. But not just yet. On Monday the 24th we’re headed to Seattle to spend a few days with Jared and Arlene as well as Wendy, Aaron, Kendra, and family. While there we’re going on a six to seven hour whale watching cruise. The trip back will include a couple of days on the Oregon beach. So, in August we were on the beach on the east coast. In September we’re on the beach on the west coast. Life is good.
