June 6 was Ty's second birthday. We had puppy-food birthday cake for him and Brenna that night after dinner, which they loved. Here's his birthday picture:
He is such a funny dog. We really enjoy him a lot. This is a picture of him and Brenna on his birthday (he looks like he wants to go to sleep):
I'm still going to my yoga class on Tuesdays (about every other week, though) and enjoying it. The people in the class are really nice, and I like the after-class lunches with them.
Last Saturday our friends from Portland, Jon and Joyce, came to visit us and introduced us to their friends here in Olympia, Cleve and Marty. We had a great time together. We all met for breakfast at Budd Bay Cafe, walked around the farmer's market for a while, and got a Chilly-Goat at Batdorf & Bronson. Yum. After that we went to Cleve & Marty's house (on the water) and had birthday cake (belated for Joyce's 60th that got snowed out in January) and laughed and laughed. Great day. Fun was had by all.
Sunday was awesome, too. Our cousin who lives here, Julie, took us for a walk at Chambers Bay Golf Course. It was a really nice walk. The course is on the Sound, so we got to go down to the water. We took the puppies with us, and afterwards we ate lunch at Steamers (good fish and chips) and sat on the waterside.
I worked my Drop In Hours at Weight Watchers on Monday, but no one came in. Oh well. At least I made $15.00 for my two-hour effort! Whoo-hoo!
Last night I went to a girls' dinner as a guest of my friend Julie. It was a new combination of two cancer groups that Julie had participated in. I really, really enjoyed it. Lots of nice women, all with different diagnoses and in various stages of treatment/recovery. It was a nice, warm, welcoming connection, and I am looking forward to next month's dinner. Afterwards, Julie came in for a while and she and Mark and I had a good evening together with lots more stories and laughter. (There seems to be more laughter in my life here. Yea!)
Weather report -- the weather does not seem to be bothering me like most folks thought it would. I think it has to do with the fact that our family room/kitchen/my office, which are the rooms the puppies and I are always in, has limited 'exposure' to what's going on outside. Therefore, my light exposure is pretty much at a constant, so I don't get the highs and lows of sun and gray. And when I do go out and it's raining or drizzly or gray, it doesn't bother me because it's pretty much what I expect. So, I'm feeling pretty good about dealing with being here on the Wet Side. I'll be interested to see how I feel about it 20 years from now though....
And, that's about it for now. There are fun things coming up this weekend, so I'll write about them later.
That's it for now.
