The Boys of Summer...Next Year

Tonight was our last softball games for the year and we finished on a high note. The weather was cool, rainy and windy but we had a good showing of our folks and one of the more fun teams to play against. We lost both games, but the last one we played them close. The umpire had a good sense of humor and everyone just had a great time. I can not think of a better way to end the year and have everyone look forward to playing next year. Now its time to get ready for snow boarding;-)...vertu svalur

...But The Curtain Never Went Up

Three days of rain on the mountain pretty well shut down the Mt. St. Helens show, well at least the viewing of it;-) We did have three great days of camping and hiking up high on the mountain; I do so love the mountains in the rain. It was not cold enough to snow but that cannot be too far off...vertu svalur

Off to the Mt. St. Helens Show

I am off to spend three days on Mt. Rainier. With any luck, I shall be high up on the S/SE slope where the view of any activity in the crater of Mt. St. Helens ought to be just about perfect. Not that I am wishing anything unfortunate on anyone, but if it is going to erupt, why not while I have a front-row seat;-)...vertu svalur, y'all!

Fall Is In The Air

What a nice couple of mornings we have had recently. The air is crisp and it is down right chilly in the mornings. The maple trees in the neighborhood are starting to change color and the pumpkins are ready for picking and carving for Halloween. Winter is on its way, O ja!...vertu svalur (quite literally;-)
