Just finishing up last nights left-over coffee  Quick shower and bit of tidying up and off to the hospital south of Dayton.  Probably stay until nap time this afternoon and then head back home.  Need to spend some quality time in the fish room.  Other than a quick feed and water change, the fish have been pretty much on their own for the last 7 weeks.

Just finished my first pot. Hopefully it's my last for the day. Not much on tap today as I did everything yesterday. A little putzing and maybe a trip to the hardware store for some cleaning supplies.

Pot #2 half gone...still not dressed ....guess I'd better get going

Heading over the Cascades to Wenatchee in the center of the state late this morning to visit the cousins and my aunt who treated my Mother like a sister. It's a 3 hour drive. We're supposed to have some of the heaviest rain we've had in a long time today and tomorrow here in the Seattle area, Usually Wenatchee is dry and sunny, it has a sub-desert climate, but the rain that's coming in on this side of the Cascades it going to cover that area also. Fun driving through the mountains.

The break will be nice. I've been busy this week with several listing presentations and setting up one listing in the MLS. Monday afternoon I will do another listing. It's so interesting....2 things happen almost with extreme surety. 1) If I plan or go on a trip, calls come in to list, see or buy houses. 2) The activity almost always occurs in bunches. I may have weeks of no calls to list, see or buy, and suddenly the dam breaks and they come in clusters. 

The other thing that has me busy is  helping Miss Lucy with the Kitchen Project, stripping and staining our wooden cabinets in preparation for our new countertops. The is the last home improvement project that I plan to do. Going to the chiropractor has helped immensely and I don't want to screw up my back any more than it already is!

Oh yeah...coffee's good too!

When I was selling my last house I could go weeks without a showing and then when I had something planned I would several request to show.

Isn't that weird, Willie?  I swear it happens EVERY time!  So if business is slow and I want it to pick up, I just take a trip...!

...isn't your aunt your Mom's sister .....sounds like my aunt, she took care of her siblings too....

...isn't your aunt your Mom's sister .....sounds like my aunt, she took care of her siblings too....

She's the wife of my Mom's brother. They've been close since Aunt married Uncle, although at opposite sides of the country. She's 88 and made the trip with her 2 daughters to Virginia to Mom's funeral. wore her out but she's a trooper. She seems so healthy, I bet she'll live on into her mid-90's or longer. A sweet one too.

Unfortunately Barb she's not much better.  She is off of the heavy sedation, but it's prolonged use has left her with chronic muscle weakness, (she can't move).  With the trach she can't talk, and she is still on the ventilator.

With that said, she did seem to be in good spirts today.  She really likes this lady Julie, her speach therapist, and when Julie saw she was having a "good day", she spent some extra time with her.

I'll buy a Jesus candle for her tomorrow.  Forgive me my silly superstitions.  They do no harm.

[BallAquatics]

Nothing to forgive Liz.  You are a dear lady and I'm proud to call you my friend.  Thanks so much for your on going kindness and support.
