I am excited to be heading up to our family reunion on Cortes Island tomorrow. I’ve been going to Cortes for 10+ years and love to swim (my version of swimming, ie. brief but repeated flounder) in the sea there, everyone has a garden to explore and get tips from, my partner usually drags me to an Adobe hut to meditate together, last year I think it was, I ran into a novelist whose work I’d read and appreciated, so that slightly upped my enthusiasm on the Adobe hut front. (ie. chance of a good chat, precise opposite point of meditation).

I got a request to go tee-shirt shopping this morning, so there’s some kind of family tee-shirt making project in the works. We will be 11 people or is it 13 together. Fun times. Badminton and reading. Food, food, food. And the woodpecker outside the window…
