FINDING QUIET

/ janpriddyoregon

Here we are.

I finally upgraded my account and paid for service, but everything is weird, changed, and I might just call this done. I have no idea why blackish blocks appear on my editing screen below. Asking questions has not helped. And a “Happiness Engineer” reaches out to help—got to be kidding. I do not want my “free domain name” that I would then have to pay for next year. Everything suddenly works differently. Again.

I just wanted to post a couple of photos and write about how today is a day Gary acknowledges every year: June 5, 1969 he flunked his draft physical.

We took some stunning photos, but you will have to be content with a view of the Cape, a sand castle, and the back of a new sweater. This is nothing more here.

Most days we walk at least this far from home. (Yes, that is the moon in the upper left.)

Beach paths through the rocks and sand castles.

I remember building sand castles like this, using bits of driftwood and razor clam shells just like this. Sand dollars too.

The back of a new sweater I am knitting for myself, pinned out for blacking. The single-ply hand-dyed wool is from South Africa. The silk/mohair I am carrying along with it is from a Portland company. I already have the front cast on.

    • Thank you, Karen. The post looks fine for me too, but the editing version is a trainwreck. I tried to write a new post and the space for adding a title simply isn’t there.

      We have had some lovely fog and got rained on this morning.

  4. I would love to see a photo(s) of your parents! Maybe you have posted them and I missed it. Congratulations to Gary!! I am so glad he flunked his draft physical in 1969! I remember that era was very risky for young adult males.
