Seattle World Cup
Seattle made its FIFA World Cup debut this month, cementing its status as a premier soccer city.

June 17-21 Cora’s Visit
My heart is full of love for my granddaughter, but each time she smiles, it becomes fuller. –Unknown
As I look at our calendar and I can see the summer flying by already…and the actual season has just begun. Cora was the first to come spend time with us. We had a wonderful five days while Graham and Hattie were at camp.
We began our time together at the house and then spent three days on the boat. Cora really enjoys the miles and miles of wonderful bike trails around the marina. We did 17 miles while we were at the lake. We also hiked a few miles along the Cascadilla Gorge in Ithaca. The gorge connects downtown Ithaca with the Cornell Campus. It’s a short hike in length, but long on amazing waterscapes. There are eight waterfalls along the gorge ranging in height from 25’ to 80’. The steepness and depth of the gorge hides the fact that it’s surrounded by roads and buildings…it’s a little oasis in the midst of a hectic world.
The temperature was perfect for riding bikes while Cora was with us…although a little bit windy.
Some of the things we spotted on our rides. We think the turtle was laying her eggs or at least preparing where she was going to lay her eggs.
I love these smiles.
The Cascadilla Gorge trail.
Cora likes picking flowers.
The view from the fly bridge.
All the kids enjoy playing on our driveway and quiet street. Lots of room for skating and biking.
