Nola, the youngest grandaughter

She seems to be the happiest baby!

Oh, some advice, "Never turn the camera sideways to take a movie, its too hard to rotate it back!"!!!

Some of Trinda's Quilts

This first one is Gary and Ronnie's. They claim that being the oldest, Gary has never gotten a quilt! Ha! I know better, he had one when he was small, but maybe he did get short changed a little.

Trinda has been making quilts while in Seattle. The first two are Wyndi's and the rest at Guy's.

The Girls

Morgan, Zoe and their neighbor friend.



Crash hats are required for extreme bicycling , or even just in the parking lot.



Guy and Amanda, I'll be in trouble for this, no pregnant lady assigned to bed rest wants her picture taken, but she's a trooper.

Trinda's Birthday

Steve made a wonderful pair of cioppinos for Trinda for a birthday dinner. A tomato, jalapeno one and a white wine one. With clams, crablegs, scallops and shrimp, they were both great. Also corn on the cob, Grandma had to share with Izzy!Then, just cause she needed it, a cherries-jubilee ice cream cake from 31-Flavors.

Our granddaughter Izabell's ballet recital

Can you guess which one she is??? First one who guesses right wins a prize, or at least a feeling of affirmation:)

Back to Shoreline

We 'moved' back to Shoreline and Wyndi's this morning. We need to start mailing all the boxes of supplies back to Majuro. I don't know how we got so much junk gathered up.

It was really fun playing with guy's toys and the computers, helping him solve the problems he has come up with. Of course I didn't really solve many of them, but it was fun researching new and different problems.

A few photos from the last few days at Guys.

Trinda and me. Guy and Zoe.

Amanda and Morgan managed to hide all this week whenever I thought of the camera!

Studying Refrigeration

My son Guy is a refrigeration man and has a training/test system in the garage. We played with it a while and got it running wit a small evaporator. I'm looking quite the pro here! Ha!



We have been staying at his place in Puyallup, WA for the past few weeks. Amanda is doing well. The girls are enjoying the summer vacation from school with all the grand parents around. Amanda has lots of family in the area.

I've not bee too good at taking pictures lately. Trying to get the last of the supplies organized for the trip back to the boat. I changed Trinda's tickets to match mine, so we are both heading back to Majuro on Aug 1st.
