Fast forward to December 2011.  It’s been a crazy last few years with some sadness and much joy. This time of not working has really allowed me to unfold the itty bit of artist in me! Please come and check out my colorful fun and passionate designs at my whimsical store That Which Is Good. Com    This gift & apparel store is full of unique designs for the adventitious spirit!  Every sale still feels like a miracle to me.

Pneumonia – Last Tuesday we got ‘the call’. Phil’s dad was in a critical care unit down near Los Angeles. About two hours later we were in our car heading south.

Fred is 82. Two weeks ago he was riding motorcycles and walking two miles a day. It’s been a touch week for him in ICU however things are finally looking up. We are all anxiously waiting for him to be respirator free. Please keep him in your heart.

Hi Bloggers!

It’s official… I have retired my old blog… the bad news is I am not able to move over my past posts…some blogs can be ‘imported’ but not the one I have from godaddy.

The good news is I just figured out that I can add the same sub domain (blog.thatwhichisgood.com) and forward it to this site. whew….thats cool. Now if I could only learn how to add a email list widget(?)/function. I think within 48 hours my old blog URL will forward to this one. I would hate to lose friends/readers with this change.

I so wish I knew more of this technology stuff and didn’t have to learn everything by the seat of my pants. I have a long list of things I want to learn like:

  • html
  • dreamweaver
  • graphic arts
  • patience
  • gourmet cooking
  • worry free living
  • heheheheheheee

Just a quick update on our life in the RV

  • Phil has had a successful mouse hunt this week. Our first one in the RV.
  • It’s been raining again (wa wa wa) so it’s back to feeling like we are living in a popcorn bag.
  • The mouse hunt led to the discovery of a ‘leak’. The leak maybe fixed … it’s still TBD. (leaks are very bad in RV’s and moods!)
  • Good news – I did a better job as ‘assistant’ to the RV Doctor … Didn’t I Phil?
  • A dicey stock market makes us both moody…ick. Perspective is sooooo important.
  • Arizona is looking better then ever with the rain again…enough is enough!

Another day done… another sun set still I am so grateful for this life rain or no rain.

I would love to see comments posted to know you found me at this new site.

Hugs, Marie

Greys Harbor National Wildlife Refuge
I come from a family of word traveling ‘birders’. My dad and mom Judy have even been to Antarctica! My sister Tick and I happen to also live near a birders paradise, the Greys Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. That’s the good news…the bad news is that while a zillion or so shorebirds fly though each spring and fall we seem to have a way of missing them by just a few days. Darned if it didn’t happen again this year!

Mom Judy on the boardwalk
So once again Dad and Mom Judy come north from Portland to join us for a day bird hunting.
We arrive just in time for high tide which brings the birds to us.

Tides In

Our missing friends

Can you say ‘birdwatcher’?

Thats my dad!

Ah – ha ~~our missing friends. Thousands were spotted just a few days ago. Darn.

Dad and Mom Judy are a couple of well loved rare birds themselves!

Stay tuned for next year … will those Schneiderbirds find the shorebirds after all or will it be another turkey day? Or will they just continue to find happiness playing Hells-a-poppin around a card table.
