In random order...

For those who missed it

The Canadian Border Patrol

He's watching these guys...

He's watching Flat Stanley...

His eye is on the bald eagle in Canadian airspace...

 And you know he's watching you...

Good thing you had your passport.

Patience

If you wait long enough

interesting things happen

in the puddles

in the bottoms

of drinking glasses. 

Look before you rinse.

Breakfast

Vinee made the jam, Joby made the bread, and the mutschli cheese came from an actual small charming dairy in northwestern Washington. Also, there was coffee. It's not the Laurel coffee (or the Obama roast) I brought home from Washington, because I had the Starbucks House Roast from Target I need to use up. However, it was ground by hand and brewed in a french press.
