It was a nice soak. While in it, mama deer and baby stopped by. My phone was indoors so I didn’t get a picture. Baby was very curious about the humans in that strange contraption! I began a project of going through an old stack of junk mail that somehow…elizabethbit in # actifit • 1 day ago • 3 min readA Quiet Sunday…….....North Cascade WanderingsWith the kids in Hungary 🇭🇺 with baby Olivia, it was a quiet morning. It’s 9 hours ahead of our time zone so it was heading towards late afternoon/early evening for them. I’m sure with jet lag and a baby who doesn’t understand jet lag, they were probably trying to catch up on sleep missed from their flight.

Poor girl does miss her human dad, but her human grandma and grandpa are a good stand in for the time being. Right now, this is where Bill, Agi and Olivia are as of 6:12 PM.

More on that in a minute but first, you can see from this next picture that Cyle was not concerned, at least at first…… Cyle does love a good baking in the sun! 😻 Bill got a later start than planned and didn’t arrive until noon. It was good to see him and I did wish he could have stayed, but they are leaving tomorrow…elizabethbit in # actifit • 4 days ago • 2 min readHappy Thursday! 😁………....North Cascade WanderingsIt IS a happy Thursday for me! It’s actually my Friday. Some weeks ago I made arrangements to have this Friday off so I could be home when our son Bill comes up to bring Phoenix up to stay with us while they are in Hungary. It’s the last time I’ll get to see him before they leave. It would be absolutely perfect if his wife Agi and baby…elizabethbit in # actifit • 5 days ago • 3 min readSunshine Today! 🌞………....North Cascade WanderingsThe rain is over for the time being. The nice thing is that the temperatures are moderate as well. I’m sure somewhere along the line, the heat will catch up with us, but for now, I’m hopeful it will be delayed. I took this next picture yesterday which got me looking through the archives for more barns. There’s just something about them…elizabethbit in # actifit • 6 days ago • 3 min readWelcome!…….....North Cascade WanderingsYep-you guessed it-we hit Starbucks once again! More on how we got there in a moment. @silvertop and myself are beta testers for Actifit for the iPhone app. Last night, we downloaded a new and improved app! Things are structured nicely.

Mondays are okay, and even though I had to work today, it didn’t go downhill until late afternoon. Somehow, despite everyone being on time, my new doc got seriously behind. So much so, he didn’t see the 4:30 patient until almost 5:00! 😳 She didn’t seem upset, which was good, however I ended up letting Marissa go home at 5:15 but I…elizabethbit in # actifit • 8 days ago • 3 min readChurch-At The Barn! 😇…………..North Cascade WanderingsToday’s church service was held at the Wiggins barn. Originally, we were to have outdoor services at Riverside Park, however Mother Nature had other plans as it was raining! Hence, plan B. 😎 This barn is a hundred years or so old and is used for weddings, gatherings and our annual church picnic, which by the way will take place next month.…elizabethbit in # actifit • 9 days ago • 4 min readBlackberries……Yum! 😋……...North Cascade Wanderings‘Tis the season for blackberries!! I’ve been noticing between us and our neighbor, when coming home from work, the abundance of blackberries! I’d been meaning to go picking, but the hot weather put me off and then work came along. So this afternoon, I took advantage of about 20 minutes or so, to go do it. 😎 I donned a nitrile glove to…elizabethbit in # actifit • 10 days ago • 2 min readHappy Friday! 😎…….....North Cascade WanderingsBright yellow is a happy color and very appropriate for the day-it’s a Happy Friday! 😎 Work was originally booked for a super busy day! We ended up with a couple of cancellations which helped to alleviate the stress a bit.

My day was busy with insurance, paperwork and whatnot today. It was just me and Marissa with no doctor. I trained her how to put contacts in and remove them. Eventually, I will have her train the first time contact lens wearers. It helps if you can empathize and understand what the first…elizabethbit in # actifit • 12 days ago • 2 min readBusy! Busy! Busy!………....North Cascade WanderingsMonday for Wednesday-that’s what I call Wednesday. It’s the beginning of my workweek and usually a moderate to tough day for me. Lots to do from the get go and never enough time to get preliminary work for the day done. When the doc arrived, he was busy as well and pretty much stayed that way all day. I know he was tired when he left to go…elizabethbit in # actifit • 13 days ago • 3 min readMan!- It’s Hot Out! 😅🫠……...North Cascade WanderingsMy day began at ladies Bible study. It was already pushing 70 degrees just before 10:00 AM with lots of humidity! Thank goodness the church is air conditioned! 😅 Afterwards, a quick stop at the post office (it was 85 then) and I headed for home. Thank goodness @silvertop already had the air on. I do not do well with heat and humidity. As you…elizabethbit in # actifit • 14 days ago • 2 min readMonday Flowers🌹…….....North Cascade WanderingsWell! That for sure and certain is not a flower! You’d be correct-that’s Alfred the Seagull perched atop a tall parking lot light fixture missing its light in Bellingham. The morning began with a nice soak in the hot tub. The inflatable hot tub I purchased 4 years ago is still going strong. I’m hoping we get another year out of it yet.
