MEET SOME OF THE "MOVERS"

hey, y'all, well, since we introduced you to John and he's going to help us move, we thought we would introduce you to some of the other volunteer movers who are taking us to our new home in the city. you've all met Susan, mom's bff, but maybe the other pics of her were not as flattering as this one: and...just so's you know, that's not a bowl of soup causing her to take her temperature with a spoon, that's a double shot of latte swirling around in her bowl!

mom and susan's favorite place is in a little town on hwy 542 (everybody here in bellingham who skis and snowboards and snowshoes and does anything on Mt. Baker - which is everybody in town - has a little sticker on their Subaru, including mom, that says either "Go East, Highway 542, Mt. Baker" or something close to it.)

nobody outside our little hamlet knows what that means, exactly, but it is a badge that the driver is a burly mountain girl or boy and local!

so, when city Susan comes up from Seattle to be burly mountain girl Susan, they stop to fuel up with - not food, not trail mix, not power-bars - but lattes!! BOWLS OF THEM! then off go the burly mountain girls and susan returns to the city with a renewed sense of purpose. which she describes to mom in anywhere from 2 - 7 voicemails the next day because she works as a volunteer tutor co-ordinator at Washington Middle School in Seattle where anything can and does go wrong (i mean, HAPPEN!) and she is the fixer-upper! today she and her family are at a Mariner's game and we hope the Mariners win because she loves them with Holiness! Go M's!

i'm just a little guinea pig and don't feel like capitalizing words but it's really because i have a Mohawk running down my back from my top-notch to my rump and Mohawkish pigs are not obliged to use capital letters.

we love susan. she just became a grandmother for the first time in January and the new baby is our designated moving van driver. if he can keep it in his diapers!

YY OUT!
