I’m back from the beautiful and slightly cold Pacific Northwest.  They say everything is bigger in Texas, but it’s not. It’s bigger in Washington. (The state, not the district of Columbia.) They’ve got humongous trees, snow capped mountains, 6 foot anthills and even giant slugs.

They made a lot of progress on the house while I was gone. There’s plumbing and wiring and they’ve started the siding. Today I spent 3 hours out there going over every plug, light and switch with Kevin and Jack. Here’s  a photo of the garage wall where you can see the color of the siding.

Now let’s hope Ike heads to the King Ranch. Anyway, Tina has been way better without him.
