Today right before we took our first boat trip two bald eagles flew above, just a few feet away, silent and majestic as shit. The two birds studiously ignored one another, leading me to think they might be fleeing from some kind of awkward liaison.
You want to know what I do on vacation? So far, sit on my ass. Inside. Watching movies. And eating pho that my husband so graciously picks up for me in Olympia. Yup, I got up to hardly anything else today.
I am suffering some sort of illness/depression hangover. I ain’t gonna lie. I’m grateful everyone else in the family seems to be doing just beautifully. The kids spent every minute outside, and I mean every minute; they’ve even been eating all their meals outside. And snorkeling, and boating, and fishing, and swimming, and all the things.
Our kitty Hamilton is with us. She was very ill a short time ago and we thought we could better keep an eye on her if we brought her along. She’s made amazing progress. Interestingly she was starving herself by not eating her dry cat food; we have her on wet cat food and raw meat and she’s much better. Please note her skinny haunches and distended stomach. She was looking at death’s door just a few days ago.
Hutch’s first boat ride, probably ever. He was dismayed at first.
Getting ready to swim, for the fourteenth time today:
Evening. It is so peaceful here. There are very few people here off season. It’s the nicest time to visit.
I’m sorry you’re feeling low. Thanks for sharing these photos. The one of nudie Nels and Hutch is particularly delightful. Hope there are more days of rest and healing ahead for you and for Hamilton.
It’s a gorgeous spot to do nothing. Rest and rejuvenate. Hope you all have a wonderful vacation.
Thank you, ladies!
