We like it here. The puzzle
It’s a simple little thing; light-weight cardboard with five punch-out pieces. My friend Rock gave it to me. I only have one, so I can’t send it to everybody, but I can send you this. Print it out, cut it out. Put all five pieces together to make a square. How hard could it be? One point for solving the puzzle using only four pieces. Ten points for solving it using all five! Along the way
At the Edmonds waterfront.
We found a school of salmon.
We found a school of salmon. Alex
Something has come up with his gymnastics. He has been invited to join an Elite Program. We don’t know anything about what the Elite Program is, so we looked it up online. Alex has been competing as JO, Junior Olympics. He would change to competing as JE, Junior Elite. Apparently the decision about who can participate in the Junior Elite Program is made at the national level, so this relates back to his exposure at the Nationals in Orlando in May. The first year of Junior Elite competition would be national. After that it would be international. It wouldn’t involve a change in gyms or coaches, but the training and competing might be a little different. It would start with a three day camp where he would be exposed to additional coaching and additional coaches. As a Junior Sun Devil, he’s working where the Arizona State University coaches are. The Junior Elite training would involve more college coaches from across at least Region I, so if nothing else this might improve his chances for a college scholarship. (No hurry, he just started his first year of High School.) We’ll find out more in September. Exciting times…
There are camping spots
Like last night.
And there are camping spots like tonight.
We’re at Beaver Coach Sales.
It’s nice that they provide electrical hookups and a dump station.
As crowded as it looks in front of the bays,
They’ll have us in first thing Monday morning.
