It has been very people-y for the past week and a half.
John and I shared briskets, jalapeno poppers and the newest orange cream (...think Dreamcicle...) shake from Arby's...played in the plants and spoiled Tux.
Tina and Chris and Lachan were here last Sunday and we chatted and spoiled the baby...who is up and walking and not really a baby, anymore. Six teeth, loves to eat everything, and has made buddies with Tux, now.
Don and Chris and Lachlan came yesterday with Chinese Food...and it was wonderful to have an afternoon to catch up on each others lives....and be Grandma and Grandpa...for our Summer Visit.
Sometimes...when the world is in such disarray and politics seem insane...and there is just so much to process...we tend to forget how very blessed we really are.
Today...we rest.
Plenty of leftovers...no need to cook.
Play on the computer.
Play with the cat.
Take a deep bubble bath...and a good nap.
It will all still be there tomorrow!
Life is Good.
Checked in with coffee on the bear-folk this morning.
So many out of hibernation and active.
So many salmon...already!
Still waiting for some.
Missing Otis severely.
Watching the hierarchy re--group...and #856 is definitely SHERIFF in town...but #164 (Bucky-Dent) has been coming into his own...pirating a fish right out of #856's mouth and dashing away...living to tell the tale.
We were all shocked...but none so much as #856, himself.
And #212 has the dubious honor of being Grazer's first grazering this year.
I don't know her very well, but apparently she strayed too close.
Apart from the three cubs that 909 lost before the season even started...and Grazer's remaining yearling (Biggie) we haven't seen any new cubs, yet.
Grazer and Biggie
Have A Great Rest of The Weekend!
Love,
Carla

MINI-UPDATE:
#27 Scuba Steve is back and goofy as ever.
#32 Chunk came back to the river-side today. His right side is healing nicely...he is maintaining his weight. His r foreleg limp is lessening and although most of his front teeth except one canine are gone and his broken jaw won't close completely (...and he drools..a lot) he has figured out how to eat using his back jaw teeth and was busily snorking up the plentiful scraps on the banks and avoiding everyone.
#128jr Biggie revealed she is a SHE...and caught her first ever salmon today!!!
Goodnight!
