A busy day today. First our Saturday morning chores. Then off to the reservoir, where the girls swam and I sailed. It took a lot of dragging to get my Sunfish out of the mud and into deeper water where she could be launched. The wind and sun were very nice today. After that, to Dad's, where we picked bunches of tomatoes and cucumbers from his garden. He's up in Chewelah, and I go tomorrow!

For me, it's like going to heaven, because of the way I feel about the place and the people there. Each day will be like a pearl, each hour like a diamond.
