Well, after not having internet on my 'puter for almost a week, partly because of our vacay to Chelan, it looks like I'm back in action. According to THIS Dell representative, we should never have used Webroot antivirus software with a Dell (we've had it for a couple of years on Jeff's computer, but it's mine that's acting up.) Anywho...appears to be working now. Thanks, hun, for spending a couple of hours on the phone with them tonight so that I didn't have to!
Somewhat of a busy day today....regular physical and bloodwork for me...doc says I'm doing great! Cousin Brittney babysat Kian so mommy could get out for a couple of hours. Then we went to the neighborhood park for a while. After lunch and a nap, I took Brooke and Kian to the beach at Lundeen Park for an hour or so. Kian had a ball! I made a new friend...Ava...a 6 year old socialite like me! Brooke made a new friend with "Brianna". Kian liked the water. He sat in an inch or two with tiny waves for about a half hour just playing with a shovel and pail! When I finally noticed he had sand on his mouth, I tried washing it off, and that's when he started fussing. We headed up to play in the sand near the concrete stairs and he had another half hour of fun, just wandering around!
We just had a wonderful long weekend in Chelan with our friends, Mike and Karen Felch (she used to teach with me at Quil.) They just finished their dream/retirement home in Manson, and have extra bedrooms downstairs just waiting for us. We met and hung out with their friends, Mark and Nancy (and little grandson, Anthony-3). Jeff had fun fishing once alone and once with Mark in his boat. Karen and I went shopping, sightseeing, and to the beach (and also to get shave ice!) Mostly we just hung out on their big, beautiful deck with a 180+ degree view of Lake Chelan and watched Kian move the deck furniture from one end to the other, practicing his walking! Kian did well sleeping in a new place, after the first day, except when he had to sleep in the same room with us. For some reason, he woke around 5 and as soon as he figured out we were in there, he was UP AND READY TO GO! One of the days, it might have been the guy on the lawn mower/John Deere next door mowing the 5 foot tall 5 acres at 5 a.m. for 5 hours!
Kian is a good traveler, fussing only about the last 20-30 min. mostly because he was tired. Next time we may try driving at night...muah ha ha ha! NOW we know the trick! We loved it enough, even though the weather was CRAPPY most of the time, that we are going back in two weeks. We will have the chance to go on a bigger boat (well, Kian and I didn't go on ANY boat this time), play at the elite beach at Wapato, AND swim in the pool there, since friends will be staying there! Woot woot!
