Yesterday, Sunday, Marie came to walk and talk.  What a lovely lady.  What a long way that she drove to be here with me, with us.  Chris was here to walk also and this was the regular scheduled Sunday afternoon Camino.   Then afterward we just slid into tapas as usual.  Of course she said something like, “Oh, you don’t have to do this for me.”  Whereupon the three (plus My Rebecca) of us assured her that this is what we do.  We didn’t say that this is what we do best but that is true also.

Marie had heard Reverand Bonnie Barnard speak in Arizona about Phil’s Camino and was excited about us.  So she was up here in the Pacific Northwest in Portland, Oregon visiting family and decided to come up to see us for herself.  That’s a four hour drive up and a four hour drive back for her yesterday from Portland, significant.

Just want to mention that Rev Bonnie will be here on Vashon this coming Sunday the 19th.  She will be speaking at our local Burton Community Church at 1100 AM.  Please come and be inspired.  I will be calling around to make sure the pews are full, giving you a warning.   Hehe.

So back to Marie briefly and then I have to get to go.  Her family is originally from Sicily and this gave me an opportunity to talk about our major Camino buddy Lucia.  We are thinking of Lucia her at Caminoheads.  So, Marie has four surviving sisters that she is going to gather up and show up here with in there future.  Five Sicilians come to work us over, can’t wait.  Thank you Marie for your visit and your contribution to our community.   Please show up any time, love you.

Still waiting for significant rain to fall on us.  Going to set up the roadside stand today and get some sales going.    Couple weeks till our early sweet corn but flowers are ready.  I am going to put sunflowers out and My Rebecca has marigold leis she creates.   Yea, stop by!  Felipe.
