I know I left you hanging with the progress of this ship. If you ever find yourself rebuilding a ship I have included step by step instructions. Install new shiny propeller thingys then cover in plastic so they don't get painted accidentally. Add the things that go up top to the top.
Paint over the dingy green with less dingy green.
Install the steering thing-a-ma-bobs to the underside.
Start painting the black over the dingy green that is painted over the very dingy green.
And I know an out of work pirate. Emily, for the first time since she was Minnie Mouse, let me make her a halloween costume. She wore it to the stake dance, the ward party and trick or treating. She would not wear an eye patch or her scarf properly but at least she let me take a picture.
We have been here now for 2 months. We have mostly unpacked. There are a couple of boxes untouched in Eric's room and a drawer that has a lot of important crap but no one dares to sort through. The garage could use a sale, sort of. Emily likes to tell everyone WA is cold and rainy. I like to take pictures of ships being rebuilt to show she is wrong.Anacortes High School is not Jenks HS. The football team won a couple of games. The choir concert had 100 student participants . . . . . . . . . . in 4 different choirs. Emily's microsoft office teacher called to tell me Emily was one of two students that had passed the certification test. (Does any school outside of NW WA offer microsoft office as a class?) We are still waiting for Bill Gates to call. Emily has straight A's. She is busy with school, seminary, dance class and Nutcracker practice. I think she is happy as a clam (are clams happy?).
Church friends. School friends. Dance friends. This is a small town, they are all the same people.
