Hey kids! Here is my headless chest selfie, showing off the glitter lotion I recently purchased before heading over to Anthony’s for dinner with my parents.

Mermaid art on Whidbey Island.

My parents showed up Saturday afternoon, and we spent a nice relaxing several days together–eating eating eating, reading, watching “Seinfeld” re-runs and on Monday the three of us took a ferry over to Whidbey Island. Josh would have gone, but he didn’t take the day off from work like I did.

We drove up the length of Whidbey Island, checked out the little “downtown” area and had lunch and stopped at Deception Pass Park to stroll on the beach and snap a few pics.

I have more pictures that I took with my iphone, but for some reason when I e-mail them to myself I’m not receiving them. I really need to problem-solve that issue. At any rate, MORE TO COME if I can figure it out.

I had a nice visit with my parents–this was the first time they had seen our new house. They brought over grocery sacks stuffed with paperbacks for me to read, and lots and lots of old photographs, as it has been decided that I am the Photo Keeper of the family. We also had 31 Flavors together, an old family tradition. Mmmmmmm. Thank GOD they only temporarily took Chocolate Mousse Royale off the menu, it was back last night! Things would have gotten ugly!
