Steven was late returning when we reached our destination and I drove right off the ferry and left him. I was pulling Alfred Hitchpop so it was a good three or four long blocks before I could pull over. Soon enough, I could see him walking toward me. He never did THAT again! :) Great trip to Lopez, we've never been!lindagraydaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357592624367907095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-69576424857307902072017-08-07T17:34:02.762-07:002017-08-07T17:34:02.762-07:00Thank you for keeping a straight face :) I'm a...Thank you for keeping a straight face :) I'm always envious when you see them in Florida!

We were hoping the smoke was going to lift today but now they're saying it could be worse by week's end :-)))) At least temps are cooling after Friday. We will definitely come back! No worries on the photos, I know your connection is spotty at best. "Borrowing" Eric's worked.

We loved that you guys came to visit us on Lopez. It was so much fun sharing the island with you, even though we couldn't show it off in all its usual beauty. (So now you have to come back!) Love your photos of LaConner. I have photos to send you of Lopez, but of course, you're way ahead of me. I'm blaming it on the terrible internet connection. Hugs to you three!
