My apologies for being so absent in the past few days. In addition to hosting my parents for two weeks (YES, I’m striving for sainthood!) I’ve come down with a nasty bug that has grounded me to my bed. I’m ever so sorry for not responding to comments and especially ignoring email. Besides being completely out of it for the past three days, I have this irrational fear about responding when I’m sick. I KNOW that you can’t catch what I have, dear reader, but I in my hopped up on meds state I’m pretty convinced you might… you know… get sick if I write back. I know. Irrational. Most fears are. So, just to be on the safe side, I’ve neglected the lot of you.
Anyhow, BEFORE my untimely demise, IZ and I squeezed in a hike with Boy Wonder through the cathedral trees near the Astoria Column. Pictures on the flip.
hope you feel better, babe. i miss you. hey, i recomended the combination of red wine and smores or chocolate chip cookies to people in my new church. they were just stuck in a world of cheese and crackers. so sad.
hee… cheese and crackers can be lovely given the right cheese and right cracker. 🙂 As for the smores… we are going camping next week and the boy is already planning his sugar high. I’m getting over this awful cold and am hopeful that we will be well enough to enjoy our camp out.
YIPPEE about your new job. I keep trying to look at your blog for info on your apartment, but your blog won’t load right now for me. I wish I could come help you move!! I’m thinking about you–miss you much.
Oh! And how long is this job of yours? I might try to come visit you in the Spring. Can’t wait to hear about your church.
kid has good taste. i will email you the details of life and everything.
Thanks for posting the pictures. Now when people ask, “Why did you move to Astoria?” there’s one more visual answer to the question… 😉
It looks wonderful, but you are not supposed to be sick in SUMMER! That is very wrong.
I know, Margaret… s i g h. I keep telling myself I will be well soon. We are supposed to go camping for a few days next week for a bit of family time before we play host to more house guests–I don’t want to be sick for that! So, wish me WELL, literally. 😀
I am sorry to hear you were sick, hope you’re all right as rain. We’ll have to get together ASAP to trade horror stories. My in-laws are gone thank Someone and bon freakin’ voyage! We did NOTHING right for those people! Hang in there. See you soon.
Carrie,
I’m still under, and it’s been a week. However, considering my immune system, this is not unexpected. Boy Wonder came down with it a few days after me and is feeling much better today. But poor IZ seems to be fighting a losing battle. I’m kinda bummed, because we are supposed to go camping next week and it’s very much like we will have to cancel. S i g h.
I’m sorry your visit was stressful. ARG… I’ll be around all weekend nursing this cold. Give me a shout on the IM or phone–I’m happy to listen to the woes. Hopefully, I’ll be up and around by late next week to be social. Hang in there–and have a nice cuppa to relax.
