Computers...computers...computers. I'm sure the first pilgrims to Whidbey Island didn't worry about how to communicate. They just shouted loud enough and their message was carried on the wind. God bless Virginia Wagner who has spent most of her time this morning showing me how to "blog". Charlie is completely disgusted with me, he's even groaning because it takes me so much time to do things on the computer. If he only had a thumb - he could do it instead! The cruelties of life for a dog!
This week is starting out lovely. The sun came out yesterday and word is it is coming out today. I'll be sure to spend time at my favorites place down at "Flintstone Park". You can see the marina and all along the harbor from that vantage point. There's a bench where Charlie and I sit and meditate small and pleasant thoughts about what it is like to live here.
On July 18th, I will be here five months. What I have learned in the five months is that Whidbey Islanders are warm, friendly, love to tell you about themselves and hear about you. The Island could use a good coffee shop cum bookstore with couches, good coffee, and lots of reading material. The Whidbey Island Coffee is the best! There is more to do on the Island then you have time to do it and there is something for everyone.
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church parishioners are the best on the Island. They have great sense of humors, amazing faith in God, the fellow parishioners, and life in general. They are fantastic to the Rector and to the Rector's roommate "Charlie". Couldn't find a better church to share "amazing grace" with.
Hope your week is starting out as well as mine. Blessings.
Glad to have you on the island! V.
