We got back from “camp Windhoek” late this afternoon. That’s code for hanging out at our friend Lucie and viktor’s. We were up there to help them pick blueberries and cabbage… But mostly we just goofed off. It was just what we needed. It’s really closest thing we’ve had a vacation since… Well since anyone else had a vacation.

It’s a beautiful spot

After an early dinner last night… ‘Diane and I took a walk along the trails on our friends land. It was beautiful

This morning we woke up and had a nice breakfast… Then we cut some cabbage. Lucie was making lacto preserved vegetables.

I did my favorite red cabbage experiment that shows how the die you can extract from cabbage leaves can be made to turn blue or red dependent on PH. Baking soda makes it blue vinegar makes it red

Speaking of making it read… Check out Diane’s hands

I decided at 9 AM was time for a nap… So he went off and lay down on the trampoline. Seconds later they were Labre doodle puppy Cafix Jumped through the netting and started jumping on the trampoline it was so cute. He looks a lot like Chai did when she was a puppy

We left Victor and Lucie’s around 1130 and headed over to Belvedere Mountain.. We never claimed it… It was raining a bit and quite warm but it was a really nice hike. Lots of cool mushrooms along the way. And at the top and amazing weather tower. It was freezing at the top… It felt great to be cold

OK… Busy week coming up. Time for bed.

Note tomorrow is my 39th anniversary and being at IBM… I’ve never worked anywhere that long 🙂

nite all, nite sam
