July has been a very busy month for visits by friends and family. Insurance woes can't stop us from seeing them even though the companies have stopped all other tours and visits. I guess one way around that is everyone who wants to see us is our friend. :) Which really is true. As Maureen says "A friend is a stranger you haven't yet met". Nobody leaves here a stranger!!
Jeff came back to see us for only a day. He was visiting many of his friends in a very tight few days. Thanks Jeff, for including us in your tight schedule. Hope all goes well for you.
Alyson came to see us for a day as well with dad, John. Dad John had a tight schedule for Alyson as well since she was only in the area for two weeks, with much to see and do.
Also, we were graced with a visit from Grace adding us to her few days off from her job in Edmonds. Always great to see her and how much she loves the animals.
Then there was a real surprise. As the expression goes what a "blast from the past". Dawn Bouchard Castaneda and her family paid us a visit along with her sister Terry and husband Jerry and granddaughter Briella. I (Greg) had not seen Dawn in probably about 30 years. Wow... It was so good to see her and her husband Julio and sons Michael and Charlie. It was great to introduce Maureen to Dawn and her family and see Terry and Jerry again. The kids just loved the animals. All of the animals were in great friendly form as usual. Then out came the homemade rhubarb wine/racket fuel for a bit of cool refreshment. It was lovely to see everyone.
Well time to go wash eggs and then bed time. Take care and stay safe as Maureen says. Greg and Maureen.
