To back track this summer excursion, i wanted to post some pictures of my time with Leslie in Whidbey Island. What a place of beauty, of small town life, of hard work, and uniqueness. I say this in all truth. And the most beautiful towns on the island were seriously smaller than my school campus i think.


Spending time with Leslie (whom i never call Leslie actually), is always being at home to me. And it's espcially true that being with her means sharing life with her, which is something i truly love. No matter what she is doing, wherever she is at. Like this past time we walked pikes place market in seattle and went to the acquarium (which rocks), harvested Lavender, walked the pebbly and sea glass filled beach, slept under the countless stars, did yard work, ate wonderfully including swiss chard at every meal, drank coffee, and watched the sunset on her roof, talked, laughed. so here are some pictures from the trip.





summer seems to be beautiful everywhere aslo. homemade ice cream is full force. and i've finally made it to the settling down half of my trip to NC. tonight was spent with Mom, Dad, and I with Margie and David at the Pizza Hut. there are no restaurants here that aren't irreplaceable, but the memories us and the White's have at PH are irreplaceable. even tonight...i was trying to frisbee a salad bowl to mom across a few tables, but instead i threw the bowl right upside Margie's head. Thank God she laughed cause i thought i'd done caused serious damage. fortunately there was none.


this morning dad and i went fishing. caught tons of pen fish, and 2 black drum. Jeti walls are bangin'. The way the waves splash up are so beautiful. Dad caught a crazy lookin' eel thing, that we will ask no questions about. He was slimy and eely, but fun. and yesterday we visited Gramma Edith and Aunt Joanne with Richard, Susuan, Wayne, and Estelle. They are a rowdy bunch. Especially since Gramma's 90th Bday is coming up.

ok, that's a lot of pictures. and is that a coverup you're wearing? or a dress...?

i'd like to call it a coverup. however, i will admit, it was bought as a shirt that was too long. i'm embarrused to say it's true.

are you embarrassed that you spelled embarrassed wrong? i'm lucky i have spell check. reade went shopping today and came home with three tops (same one in three colors) and a dress... that i had to ask to make sure it was a dress. she said she might wear it with cute jeans, though. she's something else.

oh, i suppose sounding out words may not always be the best method.

but hey, that's what mom taught me to do!

the only time that might not work so well is... when... you've got a bit of a southern drawl (or any accent) that changes the way a word sounds. now, if you were writing the southern dictionary...!
