A home to baby sit in Spokane

This Charlie again. He really looks different all scrunched up and standing on one leg. He is really a very tall egret. He visits the pond and us almost every day. There are also two road runners, Rhonda and Ronnie who eat out of our hands. They are the funniest birds, and love raw hamberger. The mamma and daddy ducks have 10 babies.




Hurray! We are going to rent a home in Spokane for two months. From June 15th until the 21st of August. Jodie put an ad on craigs list and we have a small home on Rockwell ( near N/W boulevard) that a young single girl who is going to Hawaii for the summer wanted to rent while she was gone. Jodie went to see it and said it is toooo cute!

We are really not wanting to leave here, but we may change our minds in a couple of months when it really gets hot. We really do love it here.

We just got back from the pool. We usually swim early in the morning, but now that it is getting warm, we golf early and swim later. Anyway the water is refreshing and good exercise. I have to tell you all that when we arrived there were about 4 walkers and a scooter chair at the stair edge of the pool, the folks were all in the pool. I laughed to myself, because it reminded me of a nursing home. For now I am jumping in and swimming, but as we get older, we maybe part of the walker waders.
love you all, grandma marilyn

Picture with Grandpa Joe

This is such a good picture of all of you.

Hope your party was fun Kyle, it looks like it was.
Pattie is now reading the blogs. I talked her through it on the phone. She was using Bobs computer, and now she has all of us on her "favorites" She was excited. She needs to create a blog, and then she can really be cool!
Tyce taking his first steps was neat for her to see. She also said that KyKy really took to Bob, and talked all the way through the house tour while Bob held him. The stories about Kamden are so sweet. What a special guy.

I talked to Kristina today, it is hot in Yuma, and she was making Chili for dinner. Her license is endorsed in Arizona and she will start working soon. She said she had talked to Jodie and that it might be snowing in Spokane. What a winter! The weather here is beautiful, a little breezy today.

Kyle is going to Summer school. I hope I get to see everyone this summer. If not on the boat, we will stop on the way to or from Spokane. That is if we can find a place to rent. This summer will be another adventure for David and me. Jodie is trying to find us an apartment. I tried on the internet, and nothing worked out. Everyone wants a six months lease. We only want to be gone for 3 months.

These posts are a blast to read. The pictures are wonderful.

Charlie is back


Charlie is a large grey heron. He has been gone for a couple of months and now he is back. We have two great white herons here too, but Charlie is the only grey one.
We also have some baby ducks, but momma duck has taken them to the pond on the 13th fairway. I love to watch the birds, however the ducks are really "messy" when they come up to the patio. We had to quit feeding them. David had to hose off the patio too many times.

Trying to post a picture


I keep trying to post a picture, lets try again
Hey it worked! I can do this.
Jimmy took this picture, do you remember?
I have some more, I will continue to post.
The weather here is beautiful, Played 18 holes. I will let you know what my score is when I break 100, which I have not done this year.
I just looked a Destenee's house, I did not know that it would be a farm. How cool is that for the boys. I thinks chickens would be great, the price of eggs went up 60%!
I love you all ....grandma
