I am now in Portland, OR and I was awaken by someone coming into the house yelling Pappi, Pappi.  It was two grandsons.  I forgot they now live close enough to ride bikes to this house.  It was a pleasant way to wake up.  They are still here and it is two hours later.  I will take this for most of the day it sounds like.  Momma needs a break.  Momma also has two jobs so she needs to go do job two.

I am buying a new iPhone 5 today.  Someone just lost their phone and need my old phone because they do not want to upgrade because they are dropping T-mobile in two months and to get a new phone means two more years of service.

It is sunny in Portland!!  What a change from Juneau.

PICTURES:  This is the old pump house which was used during the mining days of 100 years ago.  You can get out to it when the tide is out but it is covered with salt water up to the water line when the tide is in.  I decided to use the new camera to get a good look at the pump house.
