trampoline,



We're having the big trampoline debate...I think it would be fun for the kids and he's scared that if the neighbors kids get hurt they will sue us..:S do you let other kids jump and if you do...do you make their parents sign a waiver???


I like the way he thinks. You should shhot the dog, cause he might bite the neighbours and they will sue you. Yeah, shoot the cats too, cause the might do something to the neighbours and they will sue you. As a matter of fact shoot the kids, cause if they do something to the neighbours, they will suae you for sure. You have to take care of your neighbours. Be selfless. Love thy neighour;)

land near Kapowsin??.....extremely intelligent choice!!
My last camp out there, the otter pilot was so sweet to invite me up to co-pilot seat, and when I mentioned Mnt. Baker....he flew past Rainier, Hood, to Baker and back on ride to altitude. We have a porter here but luv heading for Kapowsin to camp on long weekends. The d.z. location/ operators/ aircraft/skydivers/...all ROCK!

I don't have a picture, but here's a description of it.

Ouside my front door is a porch standing about 4 feet off the ground. there is latticework on the sides, and a climbing potato bush lives on the east side. I have unsuccessfully tried growing climbing roses on the west, but no soap so far. I have potted plants strewn on the steps leading up, so that they flank the walk to where it empties into the courtyard. Lining the building are hydrangeas, gardenias and orangeflowers (these bloom at night - spilling gentle scents through the window in summer; it's like sleeping in a bed of flowers). I have two hummingbird feeders as well as a squirrel feeder (all the better to torture the cats with), and so many times I can watch them through the windows feeding. There is green grass which is kept really thick, and this trails out to the street. The street is rather large, but it's also the guidance street for incoming planes for the Burbank airport, so I get my fill of watching planes land and take off.

I like it here...

For the next month, if I look to the east I can almost see the airport, and jumprun. To the west is Silver Star Ski resort and a jumbling spill of city in the valley. The first pic is two autumns ago, the second is spring.

I will miss this view when we move in March.

Whats outside my front door? Hmmm a big yard with a lot of trees leaves on the ground that Ive been procrastinating about picking up followed by a road with two very annoying street lights that shine thru my bedroom window at night. As for snow...um nope cant say that Ive seen that....hehehe I live in Macon Georgia we dont get snow I mean heh weve gotten like I think maybe 2-3 inches once or twice but thats about it. Youd be surprised about the amount of people that ask where they can find snowchains LOL in georgia no doubt for an inch or so of snow...Im sitting there wondering that if they found any how many would actually know how to put them on...lol:D

Rainer is beautiful isn't it? Here is a shot of Whidbey Island and the Olympics from my back deck in Marysville. Welcome to Washington!

No, the old, fat, drunk, ex jumper walking to the shower house in a towel should be illegal. He does not add to the view, the tall, young, cute, German girl walking from the shower house, now she does much FOR the view, and the towel she's wearing, almost too small........uhhhh, I'll be back, in a minute....................

I think I'll have to come help Wingie board up your windows when I get back there in May. I may have to yell a little to announce myself to the plane too.

Sometimes life just isn't fair, and sometimes others like to rub our noses in things too. Here's wishing you lots of drunk ex jumpers with skimpy towels. When I get there I'll take lots of cute hunk jumpers with skimpy towels please. Shall I send you a list so you can get everyone lined up? Oh, and fix the skyvan please.

trampoline,

We got the kids one for Christmas. It's weird, my parents let me have horses and a motorcycle, but no tramp? Anyway, I was told by people I work with that a waiver might be a good idea and NOT to tell the insurance company or they might drop you! I don't know how true that is. Might depend on the company. I just didn't tell, and the neighbor kid my son's friends with got one for Xmas too, so that hasn't been a problem yet either! :D

Merrick will be the one to get hurt if anyone does. He forgets he's not a kid anymore ;)
