A view of Vashon Island in 1950’s magazine.
Guess who showed up for yesterday’s walk? The very Rick and his daughter Maryka that walked with me over the last stretch of the Camino in 2014. They have a cameo in Phil’s Camino showing us going into Santiago together, four years ago now.
Maryka’s Mom Carolyn and friend Anthony were here hiking and joining us at the tapas table yesterday also. Oh, the weather is so glorious for us now to do these get togethers. You will have to stop by.
In the early 1950’s a watercolor painting showed up in Ford Times magazine depicting a scene on Vashon Island. Ford Times was a publication that promoted vacation car travel. And you can see the pic for today is this painting. It is of the back side of the Burton Community Church, My Rebecca’s church, with Quartermaster Harbor in the background.
This week we have at least three parties from out of town to do Phil’s Camino. Wiley and Hanna’s wedding is coming up in less than a month. All kinds of activity going on. So we are busy but fun busy.
Oh, and the corn miracle that happened, the deer that are braving the electric fence and getting into the corn have switched from eating the crop to eating the weeds. How about that? There is some nightshade that is related to tomatoes and potatoes growing in there that they love. So, I am not going to stand in the way of volunteerism on this one.
Well, just a little catch up on the news here at Raven Ranch going on here today. All the news fit to print so to speak. None of it earthshaking but important to us nonetheless in the history of us. I like that, The History of Us, has a certain ring.
Off we go to walk, 0900 on a Monday. Always good, love, Felipe.
