This remarkable lady has been living on her own in the Greater Seattle area while her daughter and son-in-law live on the beach on the Olympic Peninsula. It was her wish and their wish to reduce the distance (two floating bridges, one half-hour ferry ride and about fifty miles of driving) between them. So they built her a dream house, right next to theirs, so she has her privacy but can walk twenty yards and be in their home. Her grandkids also have a summer home on the property which will, in many years, become their retirement home. They are up there all the time, building some addition on it, which puts them close to grandma.



Maybeso, Father Steve, but what young folks want is not always what old folks want, but most old folks like to please their children.

Maybe your old folks in Seattle are different. I'll check them out when I spend eight days in Seattle this August ensconced in Bellingham at the Western Washington University campus.

Now, if you please, Father Steve, a quick question about border crossings...

Do you think that I will have any problen bopping in and out of Canada armed with only an Alabama driver's license and my birth certificate?

I would appreciate your advice.
