Looking to Spring

And looking forward to a real vacation with my honey to Europe at the end of April...transatlantic!

Just took the dogs to a dog whisperer Vet! They will get their teeth cleaned without any anesthetics and for these two oldies, that's good.
Bright sun here and not bad at all! It's the kind of day that makes you begin to remember why you put up with all the rain and cold on the other days. It's been an interesting winter here with more snow fall than usual. But today "the mountain is out" and all's blue sky and right with the world. (OK at least a tiny part of it)

Grif is earlobe deep in school work and Tommy just finished a big project on Mercury poisoning for science class. Dick is backing up files and working in his cave.

Whoa, I'm hoping to cover a lot of ground here. Actually, the four inches of snow we got overnight pretty well did that for me. It's all melted and gone and a good thing as we don't get plowing here and if and when we do, the plows dam us into our driveways! Big help.

Looking for land on Whidbey Island or Camano Island north of Seattle. So far, not much luck. If we wanted to live next to a double-wide with junk trucks and piles of tires next door, we could easily have found a few acres already.

It's midterm week for Grif and Tommy. Makes me glad I got that stuff done early in life. Both seem to be doing OK this cycle.

Dick, my Shinning Knight, is back from his Ham contest in Nevada and is working nearly full time on software for Elecraft. He loves it! Nice to have hobbies when one is retired.

Speaking of....I finally hired the brilliant artist and she has painted the powder room into a beautiful work of art. What a joy when it is winter and nothing is blooming outside, to have the Tuscan warmth and flowers inside.
