trying to get waves that stay all day.
green smoothie! every little step healthier makes.
the good words from book just finished: weight loss isn't about willpower or motivation; it's just the cumulative effect of tiny actions over time. putting down the chocolate bars, putting on the running shoes. you just have to keep picking yourself up when you fall, over and over again, for however long it takes. shauna reid.
who doesn't love quirky rest area oddities like gigantic stumps?
what a great experience! we had a family kayaking adventure in Anacortes. paddled 5 miles and have blisters to prove it.
kelp forests. ribbons that can grow a foot longer each day.
yes, he is taking a bite of the edible kelp.
that guy in the middle taking a break.
calm water helped me relax and enjoy the ride. beautiful view of Mt. Baker above the town. those mountains never come through as well in the photos. i can see why someone might want to own their own kayak. 
this pic was to capture a heron. explaining since it's hard to see. we also saw seals, porpoises, an adult (white head) and juvenile (not yet white head) bald eagle.
this is not really that healthy. but just taking a photo instead of xerox these days. we might try it.
this looks so good and sweet. it was! roasted carmalized sweet potato.
visiting a small SeaTac Botanical Garden
these are nice solid garden beds. thinking what i want for the new house. 
Go UW Huskies 
dim sum at Din Tai Fun. plate of spinach was so good!! 
these nectarines were perfect and so sweet. we ate them in just a couple of days.
e's catapult
we live on a construction zone block. they covered R's car while painting one of the new buildings across the street. 
E's cheetah face paint
we cleaned up one day. pictures to keep memories, then we can recycle all these creations/reports/treasures/pictures.
skyping with our family is the best. thank you for taking time to visit with us!
