I was late as usual this morning leaving for church. I like to leave 20 minutes early to secure my "spot" (first pew on the far left) but Max was not cooperating. I was frantic trying to get out of the neighborhood and on my way but my usual route via 37th was blocked by a large confer tree that was blown over during the night. I actually heard this one fall just before midnight. I mistakenly thought the neighbor's tree had blown over into our pool or on our solar panels.
We turned around and found another way out of the 'hood. We got to church and had to sit in the second row. Bummer. Right after church we hurried to the swim meet at Mt. Hood CC. On the drive out there we witnessed a lot of blow downs and scattered power outtages. Luckily the college had electricity and we could have our meet.
This was the final meet for Bella's debut year of swimming. It was bittersweet. I'm glad it is over as the commitment cuts into family life, but I know how much she enjoyed it. I hope she will continue loving swim team and join again next year. I asked if she wanted to sign up for summer swim team and she said, "I think I'll just join the English Family pool this summer." Ahhhh, what a good girl! Keep it simple, eh?
Cheers and stay out of the wind.
