Is it summer yet?
Wow it has been a bit of time since we posted - sorry for the delay - I'm guessing no one checks anymore so I'll need to send out another mass email to let folks know we are up and running again!
For those of you in other parts of this country or the world the title of this post comes from the issue we are having with the weather in Seattle - headline in newspaper yesterday was "Seattle colder than Siberia." Yes this is an issue. Still wearing sweaters and have pulled out my scarf as well. The only "Nice " thing is that it is very green and millions of flowers are blooming and of ocurse the days while gray are still onger than in the real winter.
Kino is doing well - he and Steve are having a fun construction week in Westport dealing with myriad of projects that need attention. I came out last weekend via the Amtrak train to Olympia and they met me -driving me to Westport for 24 hours than back to the train. It is hard to be away from Kino man, but we talk many times a day and he seems to be greatly enjoying his daddy time (just in time for Steve's first Fathers' Day)- I have a ball with him on the weekends spending many hours at the beach where depending on which beach we are at, we draw in the sand, sing songs, dance, throw every stick we find into the surf, pet dogs, watch surfers, walk on logs, jump OFF logs, tetter totter on logs practice counting, pop seaweed thingies (sorry don't know the technical term)look at shells and rocks, watch and track birdies that might be an eagle or a pelican or a gull, chase the surf and in general have fun.
This morning when I was chatting with the men - Steve was descriging Kino and the resident deer. It seems Kino was sort of chasing it around, but at one point they bonded and the deer herded him back to Steve.
Speaking of daycare - he loves the one here in Seattle with the Vietnamese woman - she clearly enjoys him as well. We have just now set him up for a daycare in Westport too, so Steve can actually get some of the more dangerous work he needs to do done. In case you are wondering why Stev is spending so mcuh time at the Inn - he is having a job slowdown while they wait for a house to sell, before starting on the next one - so it is the perfect time to work on all the Inn issues.
We had several interviews last weekend for new innkeepers - and this weekend a couple will be coming out to see the Inn.
Life is grand, busy and full to say the least and we are working out all the quirks as they come up. As you all know there is no instruction manual for ANY of this so the best approach is tuck your head down and plow onward, hope for the best and keep your mind open to ideas.
Sorry no pics with this post as Steve has the repaired laptop in Westport that has all the pics on it. I will post some this weekend. Maybe one of Kino being herded by the deer.:)
