Last weekend, I went on a fun little jaunt to a pretty Washington town called Oak Harbor, where I visited and reconnected with one of my sisters who I haven’t seen in over almost 20 years, on account of she lives Florida, and jobs and kids (hers) and general adulthood have kept us from getting together all of this time. It was a total delight (at least on my end, I haven’t asked her if she feels the same way), and it was fun learning all about her life in Florida and hearing all of the things I’ve missed over the years as we have both grown into quasi-middle age. She was here with her husband visiting her daughter on the naval base, so I finally got to meet that stellar gentleman, and also spend time with my niece, who I haven’t seen since she was a wee one. She has truly grown into a fine young woman. During this excursion, I played disc golf for the first time in my life under my brother’s tutelage, ate my weight in Italian and Mexican food, and took a tour of the base, during which my sister narrowly avoided getting stuck in a turnstile and having to be sawed out. Fun times! I really need to get out more often, even it’s just someplace a few hours away. Here is a view from Deception Pass, and a cool-looking tree log on the beach:
The world needs to read very fun, interesting post! 😋
Thanks for sharing your family reunion adventure. Congratulations on “pushing” yourself away from the diamond mega-deal purchase.
