I had some problem in completing last blog and will continue here.

To cool the apartment, I open a window.  It is like an air conditioner.  Open a little is the low setting.  Open a lot is super max.  You freeze.  The mornings begin calm, but by afternoon when it may be warm there is always wind.  It rustles the trees and shapes them over time.  

Ten days with our son have gone far to quickly.  We took him out last evening to a fine restaurant, Gary Danko, near the Aquatic Park and Fishermen’s Row.  There was still light when we finished and Laurie’s flight had been delayed in Denver, so we walked along the shore and then up the very, very steep Hyde Street for a few blocks.  The colorful tourist cable cars were running half full.  If we were not expecting a text announcing Laurie’s arrival, we would have taken a ride.  Instead we enjoyed watching the transits and the tourists aboard.

I post to mention that I’ll post here on our travels beginning next month.  If you read this pass on the word.

 Our rig is perched at the campground here on the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. 

 Greetings.  I have not written here this year and wonder who is paying attention to the posts.<

 The history of St. John the Evangelist written by the choir director’s husband.

 At Easter dinner, we discussed Father Payton's attendence at James' baptism so I thought I would post this article also.

I recently came across this article about Bracewell stadiuum and asked Mark to post it. 

On our way home we paused today in this forested park in eastern Ohio.  We savor our last day out before arriving and beginning many, many chores.  You may remember that we left home in mid-February.  Now, in mid-July, we return.  We bring back many memories that will be treasured. 

Five days on the ferry. Very peaceful.  We sat or stood watching the sea slide by.  Sometimes it was very narrow about us and above were mountains, some yet with snow.  here and there a glacier.  Humpback whales spouted nearby every day.  Dolphins, the streaky ones that look like miniature killer whales broke the surface too, sometimes following us.  We experienced a sundown, our first in a couple of months.  And, a sunrise.  How pleasant.  The trees grew larger each day.  Waterfalls streamed from vertical walls.
