Today was another beautiful day. The sun was shining all day long and the official high temperature was 74 degrees. As always, it was warmer than that in town. The official temperature is recorded at the airport, and just who lives at the airport? Maybe in places like Denver, Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York...or in the case of volcanic ash...most people in Europe live at airports, but not in Spokane. There is now a big storm system that has been moving in from the Pacific into California, but the effects of it will mostly be remaining to our south. This evening there has been a lot of rain over southern parts of the State of Washington, but most of that has been moving toward the northwest and not advancing much in this direction. This evening was a nice one on the front porch. For tomorrow I expect a few more clouds, and it will be a bit cooler, but I think that the rain will remain south and west of here, and temperatures will be getting close to 70 degrees...not a bad day.
Today was a kind of a special day. 3 years ago we hosted an exchange student from Germany, Anna Lena Sieber. Today marked her 20th birthday. These kids grow up so fast. She is now going to the university in Leipzig, preparing for a career in dentistry...at least that is the last reliable intelligence that I have. I hope that she had a wonderful birthday. It is going to be just a little over 3 weeks until we pick up our daughter Beth from school after completing her freshman year at Concordia University of St. Paul, Minnesota. Again...these kids grow up so fast! Yesterday she officially declared her majors to be music education and music performance. She also informed us that this would keep her occupied for the next 19 years...well maybe she said the next 4 or 5. Anyway, if you would like the make a contribution to the "Keep Brian and Kay Out of the Poor House Fund" please send your checks care of the debtor's prison of Spokane, Washington.
