Miles of smiles for pennies a day…a professional “thank you” blog would, could, should, might keep up with appreciation for those met daily.

This blogger does not.

The ebb and flow of a tide pool connected to shifting sands of tidal pool players.

Tricia at Taco Bell (Sara, too); John at Burger King.

The friendly faces of American Airlines; Saeed at Hertz; Nikolay and Renso in Dallas-Fort Worth airport.

Kate at Crow’s Nest.

My bare feet on solid ground again, far from Pacific Northwest cruise ships.

Drinking a Jai Alai India Pale Ale, whistles and shouts of Olympic-sized crowds echoing through the bungalow…

Cleaning and cleaning a house built in 1964, not much younger than the town in which it was raised (a long time until razed, we hope).

Thanks to Mike’s Plumbing.

Setting furniture on the curb and watching it disappear.

Time for a few more photos, including one of my sister with a devil and angels on her shoulders.
