prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Trip to Orcas Island. (Overnight stop in Woodenville)

Had a one hour flight from Monroe to Dallas and a four trip from Dallas to Seattle. Number one grandson and his two daughters met me at the airport. This on Friday July 17. The the next day to Anacortes and ferry boat ride to Orcas Island. The ferry boat ride is a blast! Exciting. Jackie and I first rode the ferry going from Vancouver Island to Anacortes in 1987.
