Maya got a first in the back stroke event at the local swim meet this week. Way to go. That's beautiful form for such a young kid-- the girls have excellent coaches with the Twisp Killer Whales Swim Team and they're natural athletes in the water. You might remember, the season was cancelled last summer because of the fires and smoke which was a major disappointment for the community.

Summer finally got started here in Seattle and the weather is cloudless, 80 degree perfection, although by next week it will be too hot for most people. We worked and worked yesterday cleaning house after the project, John more than me in the basement vacuuming up gobs of dirt. The wall repair won't be a clean process either, but I can't imagine anything more disruptive and dirty than old house rewiring. But like John says, sometimes "I lack imagination" when it comes to things that can go wrong.

 

The Wall Doctor estimator comes this morning.
