Time off for good behavior (Day 461)

Well, progress has been slow on the house in February since we spent the first 7 days in the Bay Area. We didn't make it down there for Christmas, so we planned a later trip when the wx was better. Last year we drove through an ice storm in the Portland Hills and thought we'd be there for the night, but not. This year we had typical Oregon rain, but no snow, not even on the pass to California (I-5). Haven' written a blog for nearly 2 weeks, but no complaints from the peanut gallery. Maybe everyone is tired of my dribble.

Managed to see all our parents and siblings (except Nancy's sister), and even bagged a couple of old friends on a sleepover in Santa Cruz. The pace of life in the Bay Area is pretty fast, and the longer we live in little Port Townsend (pop. 8,000) the worse it seems on our occasional forays to the land of fruits and nuts (as we fondly used to call it, even before the Govenator took over).

So we're back and laying tile. Trying to finish off the guest bath and sauna. Nancy ordered grout for the floor, but it will take a week to get so I'm looking outside to finish some landscaping and electrical work. No rest for the well rested. More later.
