Waltzing Matilda

Substitute "Waltzing Matilda" with "walking pneumonia".
Yesterday, J and I took the dogs to Bowman Bay. We walked along the beach in the rain and then hiked to a lookout where we caught a glimpse of the Deception Pass bridge. During the hike down, little Chance got too close to the edge of the trail and rolled down the cliff, stopping in time to avoid a terrifying plummet. I'll just say that we know how lucky we are and I'm going with the "all's well that ends well" school of thought.
We had pouring rain and hints of sun, walked among trees and seaweed, I slipped in mud and Zip rolled in stinky stuff - it was a good time. Although I was a bit winded - there were a few steep sections - I felt okay. When we got home, however, I knew I was sicker than I wanted to admit. J has spoiled me rotten, as usual (and for which I am extremely grateful), and I hope antibiotics and three days at home will knock it out of me.

I do have a class tonight which I am not going to postpone. Ann & I are taking Pistol Marksmanship. She has been shooting quite a bit, but I have done nothing since my gun safety class.
This weekend, J, the teenager and I are heading to Seattle to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. We'll spend the night and do a little early Christmas shopping in the big city on Sunday.
So all is well and life is good and I'm thinking good thoughts. Hope the same is true for you.
