From the left, in more ways than one, Theo, Ruby and David.
It has been a long time since I have had the fun of being an uncle to ones so young.
And this will be the first time I have ever gotten to be an uncle to a niece.
I am eagerly anticipating doing some heavy duty uncle time.
The picture you are looking at here is from a week or so ago, in San Diego. Judging from what I see in the background, Theo, Ruby and David are where some like it hot, Coronado Beach. I make that judgment due to seeing a famous beach front hotel in the background which Marilyn Monroe used to like to play in.
Starting August 11 David, Theo, Ruby and I will be at another beach, though this one is not quite as famous as Coronado Beach, Birch Bay, way north, by Canada, not Mexico.
I highly doubt Marilyn Monroe ever played on the Birch Bay beach. However, I am fairly certain Bing Crosby and Loretta Lynn may have.
I was surprised to learn last night that I likely will not be seeing Spencer Jack or his uncle Joey when I am up in Washington this month. Apparently my nephew Joey will be fishing while Spencer Jack will be east of the mountains at Lake Chelan.
In Western Washington one refers to the the eastern half of the state as east of the mountains, due to the east side of the state being east of the barrier which bisects the state, known as the Cascade Mountains.
I also learned yesterday that much of Western Washington will be sweltering with record breaking HEAT this week, possibly going over 100, a degree which never happens on the west side of the mountains.
David, Theo and Ruby are rare Western Washingtonians in that their abode has air-conditioning.
At my current location currently the outdoors is being naturally chilled to a relatively chilly 76. Quite a drop from the recent 100s. Rain is scheduled to drip, along with some thunder booming.
I am taking off now on a bike ride before the dripping and booming begins...
