I’m back from vacation now, and thank you all for your patience!

I had a great time in the Pacific Northwest, visiting most of our favorite places again. Sadly, no Mount Saint Helens because the road to it was taken out by a landslide the week before we left, or Hurricane Ridge, as the ranger lodge burned down a week before we left. On the way up, I halfway expected that some mysterious enemy would have destroyed the whole state of Washington before I got there, just to spite me. Nevertheless, I did manage to get my fill of water and trees and mountains, as well as a kick-ass cheesesteak sandwich at Tat’s Deli in Seattle.

We now resume our regularly scheduled Delvery, checking in on Betrys and the boys.
