WEEKEND THIRTY
Husband and I took those plane flights from last week's updates in order to spend time with one of my English aunts -- other great family too, but my husband hadn't met her yet. Due to some health complications, she isn't able to travel. She live out in the Olympic Peninsula area of Washington State, in a town made famous by sparklepires. The area is one of the most beautiful in the United Staes - one of the globe's three temperate rain forest, miles and miles of amazing beaches, eagles and elk that just kind of hang out in civilization.
One of my favorite moments of the visit was a trip we took to Kalaloch Beach (pronounced 'Clay-lock"). My aunt, like most of my English family, loves seafood and shellfish, and I've heard from many of the siblings on that side how much my beloved grandfather used to dig up all kinds of shellfish on English beaches and eat them directly from the shell. I didn't get enough time with my English grandfather, so I love whatever stories of the family I can enjoy. My Aunt showed me how to stomp for clams, which seems like such a small thing, but feels like it is very big.
My husband is a champion stone-skipper, and skipped rocks. We all collected seashells and stones, a particularly favorite pastime of my Aunt. I have a little Starbucks envelope on my dresser right now, waiting to be sorted to find some place in our home for display.
