Just passing the time...

We still haven't heard anything from the CCAA, although quite a few families from at least two agencies received LOAs today. I saw four announcements for the following LIDs: 6/12, 6/15, 6/20 and 6/27. None came for our agency that we know of, but we wouldn't hear until tomorrow (Thursday) if LOAs came today. Yes, these dates are long after ours; this is just the way things go, frustrating as that may be.

To help the time pass a little faster (and to celebrate our anniversary), we took our new boat out for a few days. The boat isn't really new, but it's new to us.

Here's the dog in the boat (her first time on the boat--hence the leash...as she tried to "dog overboard" herself several times).



Jones Island, where we spent the first night, is a camping island in the San Juans:


Orcas Island, the Deer Harbor Wooden Boat Festival, which we participated in for the first time this year:


Hey, if you're going to be waiting for what seems like FOREVER, you might as well do something really cool.
