Happy birthday, Amanda

 

Yes, two special birthdays in one week. Life is good in August. Yesterday, the family took a hike up to the Lake Agnes Tea House at 7,000 feet. Looks chilly!

They had plenty of company in line for hot drinks and goodies.

Anyway, sounds like a memorable day, finished off with a nice birthday dinner at Deer Lodge near Lake Louise.

We haven't been to the Canadian Rockies since way back in 1998. I'd like to go again, although it takes some advance planning, since this is one of the most popular destinations in the northern hemisphere and the tourist season is short. Banff is about 600 miles from Seattle, so not a casual weekend trip.

Anyway, nothing that exciting happening here in Seattle. We're headed into hot weather next week, good for ripening all those thousands of plums. All at once.
