Just Now Retired!

It was a great trip! I need to schedule more hotels with hiking. The bus at Stehekin was frustrating. It didn’t run often enough and was hot. Other than that, all was well. We even did some fishing!

When I get back from vacation I am going to have to get immediately into sewing pet carriers. My supply is running low. I sold too many and have been working on a quilt instead. It’s OK, I love doing the pet carriers.

I am going to Stehekin later this week. It’s a small town that you can only get to by boat or back packing. We will do hiking and fishing there. It is in the North Cascades National Park, so no dogs allowed. Oh boy! A vacation from dogs!

I could look for another teaching opportunity, which I have started to do. Part of me thinks I should just do less and be happy. It doesn’t make enough money to worry about.

Yesterday I went to a gathering of my husband’s family. It was my first family gathering in more than one year! It was good. My two nieces attended and it was good to see them again. They are young and vibrant, mid twenties. We brought both dogs and they did well. We took some walks and enjoyed life!

The other day Coding with Kids had a meeting. They talked about how many last minute sub requests have been coming up. They showed a list of who did how many sub requests. My name was at the top! I always want to be useful.
