Our 4th started early this year. We had the annual picnic on Sunday the 2nd with our own kids, Libby, up from Olympia, and Scott and Missy, flying in from SoCal. We were joined by the Liebman clan, (Kendra and kids, Kyle and kids and new girlfriend (with her daughter), and Bruce and Jill. ), and new boating friends Janet Schlaifer and Mark Casteel. Great food! Good fun! Beautiful day! Our patio was the star of the show with everything blooming and lots of room for sitting in and out of the sun. We added a few games this year. Giant pickup sticks, lawn checkers and badminton.
Libby stayed an extra few days, and Missy and Scott didn't leave till Thursday. Miss and I got a trip to Ana-Cross Stitch yarn shop where I added to my stash! Oh, no...here I go again. She got wool for socks. I bought wool on sale for Libby's wool blanket. I continue to knit washcloths. I saw white ones for sale in a really neat gift shop, especially for exfoliating your face!! Libby got three to take home with her, white, pink and white, and cream colored. I have completed two more for a gift. After this run, I'll think about finishing my socks, and then on to something else. No more yarn! I'll have to go on a yarn diet now.
Jim and I are busy preparing for Whidbey Island Race Week, the week for sailboat races hosted by the Oak Harbor Yacht Club. We are the co-chairs for the breakfasts served every morning for the entire week. We have been attending meetings getting ready, hoping we get lots of sailors in for big breakfasts before their races.
