Summer's almost over....

Greetings all! Well we had a great time in Portland last week. The traveling and everything went very smoothly. I'm so excited, both Althea and Will did so well. We are counting down the last days until school starts again. Oh, good times. We are all doing really well. William is getting so big, and Althea seems like she's turning 30 some days!!! I guess this is payback for my smarty pants attitude when I was younger! Ha! There's not much to add this week. We are going to be out a few days next week. We're heading over the northern Cascades to Seattle for two or three days. I'm excited to see that part of Washington, should be nice. Hope all is well with everyone out there. Take care.

Hello. Rich here. Here are some more pictures of my 35 pound turkey and her funky artwork. The one that is hard to see is actually a sailboat, and I'm proud/sad to report that her artistic abilities have officially outpaced those of her paternal predecessor. Also, there are some nature pictures from some locations here in ID to create some soulful ambience as you ponder the mysteries of human consciousness, or enjoy some starchy comfort food, or whatever it is you like to do as you comsume pictures of my family like so much cheesecake. Now you know why Miranda does all of the writing. Hope all is well with all our friends and family who read this. Summer's almost over up here, so if you haven't yet, get your flab up here and enjoy one of America's truly great towns and some marginally alright folks as well. Love, Rich.
