  • busy busy busy busy busy

    Its been an insanely busy week.  Tuesday was our Clallam Bay baton team.  Wednesday was Awana.  Thursday was our drive to Olympia to practice with coach Judy in her gym.  Her gym is so much organized and we were able to spend such better quality time there, that this will become a twice a month event.   She's got mirrors for the kids to participate in, she's much better rested so able to bring her A game.  And when we sat down and crunched numbers it will cost us exactly $50 more a month then it was when we were driving to P.A. twice a week.  LOL 

    The drive is a rather easy one as the back side of the Peninsula' highways are very straight, and most of it is 60 mph. 

    It was a gorgeous drive too, as we got to watch the sunrise over the Olympics, and set over the ocean going each direction.

    So here's the sunrise.

    And then the sunset.

    The next day I left the kids with Rob and grocery shopped.  It was a gorgeous drive into Port Angeles, and I stopped and took pictures of some of the showy fall leaves.

    After grocery shopping I came home we had our date night, and half way through date night my back started spasming.  And it just got worse.

    I spent last night in PAIN.  Haven't felt it like that in months.  Hadn't missed it either.  Still don't really know what triggered it.  I finally got it to let up about 2 this afternoon.  Its still lingering, but I can at least breathe, walk, function without crying.  Needless to say my children barely saw me until about 4 this afternoon. 

    I stared blankly on the recliner chair, and then decided maybe a little walk would help, so we loaded up and went for a walk that had been recommended to us, but we'd never tried.  It was a perfect destination.  Along the HOko river.  We will definitely go back, it can be walked for miles, but we just did about a 1/2 mile.

    And took our traditional fall shot.

    Or rather shots.  Cause its virtually impossible to get one with everybody looking/smiling at the camera all at once.  LOL

    But I believe this one will grace our calendar this year.

    And so we're at tonight.  My back is still iffy.

    I know if I can get a good nights sleep it will be much better.  The trick is keeping it from spasming between now and bed.  Which means be very aware of the twinges.  If I move the second it twinges I can avoid full-out extreme nauseating pain.  We shall see how it goes.

  • Beautiful pictures!  Love the last one of the kids in the leaves.

  • I always love your pictures! Thank you for sharing them. The fall colours are beautiful. We don't have such dramatic colours here.

  • The fall picture you chose is so good.  The wonderful colors remind me of our MN trip.  So far we just don't have our usual color here in MO.  Don't know why as we have had plenty of rain this year.

  • sorry about your back - mine has been acting up too - the pics are great, so much beautiful nature around you  we have only 2 colors of leaves here, green or brown
