Sounds like a couple of our members needed to get to bed early tonight.

I've made forward progress here, though the house is still messy. I made some small pizza crusts for myself that are now in the freezer for meals this summer, and I have a few more things in the truck to go for e-waste. I have clean rugs in the dryer and I have only a few dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. :)

It rained hard this morning, saving me having to drag hoses (I am only allowed to use a sprinkler on Wednesday and Saturday, but I can use soaker hoses or hand water any time).

It sounds like my son is getting to see his aunt (my sister) in Seattle every so often, and our brother will be back up there soon (he has homes in California and Washington). And my son will be joining them at a family wedding (our cousin's daughter) in August - a chance for a whole bunch of people to get to meet him. If ever you're going to a new place where technically you might feel like a stranger, what a revelation it must be to have family popping up everywhere.
