::scenes of summer::
Just a couple of days after I posted about our dear friends Rod and Julie being numbers 1 and 2 on Anna's list of "People you love most", guess who called to say that they'd be over for dinner in a couple of hours? This is remarkable because, well, they live on the far west side of Oregon and we live in eastern Washington. But they were on a road trip to Glacier Nat'l Park and decided to head home via Spokane. We had a great visit, as always.
Also, over the weekend, David installed a rope-swing in one of our gigantic Ponderosa Pine trees. We're still working out some kinks; right now it's more like a zip-line! It only works if someone, preferably over 230 pounds, is holding the end of the rope.
Anna says that this simple addition now officially makes our house "the coolest house EVER" and says that now? She will live in this house until the day she dies.
So it looks like David and I will have to move out. To a home without a rope swing.

zip-line huh ? What a cool idea. Looks like so much fun, no wonder Anna will never move !
So how do you get on that swing? Looks like it's about 12 feet off the ground!
I used to work with a girl who was still living with her parents at 26. Her parents went on vacation and when they came home she told them "While you were gone, I decided that I'm too old to be living with my parents. So, I've decided it's time you move out."
HA! I wonder if that will happen to you!
Um...was that "girl" you knew...ME?? I practically did live mom until I was 26! Ha!
When the rope is slack, the swing isn't that far off the ground; also, the rope has some stretch to it so she can climb on. Eric was over the other day and he and David were scheming to make a REAL zip-line from the tree back to our garage!! Fools!! Trying to kill my sweet kid....
Great blog.
That swing looks like a lot of fun, and your daughter is beautiful!
Great photos. Sounds like that was a really fun day. Would you adopt me? :0)
