I've been working hard getting caught up from being away for 7 months. As always, I cherish my time with my dad. This is my second summer home since my mom passed away. I sure miss her and so does dad.

My work this summer has been mostly painting and landscape work, with a few presentations thrown in here and there. Of course, the priority has been spending time with, and caring for my dad. In addition, I have managed to do a bit of muCh needed work on my house.

| Painted the front door and replaced the weather seal |

Replaced my old toilet with a comfort height toilet,
which resulted in having to replace the flooring. |

| Added kitchen cabinets in the studio apartment. |
What a beautiful summer we have had here in Edmonds. Painting in the heat can be a bit challenging. Usually my summers are full of hiking and bike riding. I have a a lot of catching up to do. I have been on two short hikes and one bike ride. I need to get back to hauling 5 gallon buckets of water and feed.
Just as I was getting ready to head home to Willow, my father ended up in the hospital. He is now transitioning from "independent living" to "assisted living". I had to cancel my flights and hope to reschedule soon. I am sure missing my dogs.
