Ryan's Imaginary Friend
Since he was about four years old, Ryan has had an imaginary friend named Bubby. He shows up from time to time, but is always only visible to Ryan. He often is in Seattle. This evening we learned two more new facts about Bubby. Sometimes Bubby takes the form of a spatula and he owns all of the blue houses in San Francisco.

Hazel and Mochi
Clover passed onto the Great Lettuce Patch, but we have two new members of our family. Here's the full story.
On May 12 which was a couple of days after Clover had passed on, Dorothy took the kids to check out what the pet store had in terms of guinea pigs. They had two female ones that were in a cage together, but said that they could only sell one of them to us since the other one was going to be undergoing treatment for a respiratory infection. They said that we would be able to bring the other one home when she was doing better.
So we brought Hazel home with us.
However a few days after Hazel was with us, she also came down with the same respiratory infection and we had to return her to the store so they could take her to the vet also.
Yesterday, we were able to pick up the other guinea pig which we named Mochi.
Mochi is definitely the less shy one of the two and has already taken to her new home. Hazel had a little more difficulty, but we're hoping that since Mochi will be here this time Hazel will more easily adjust.

Bridge Collapse and George Washington
A bridge over I-5 collapsed this week just north of Seattle. I was showing our kids a video clip taken from a nearby security camera that actually caught the bridge collapse. The news story listed Mount Vernon as the location of the story.
Me: Obaachan worked with someone who is from Mount Vernon.
Ryan: Was it George Washington? That would be really cool.
Me: That's funny Ryan. How old do you think Obaachan is anyway?
Ryan: No, I just thought it would be really cool.
Of course, he was thinking about Mount Vernon, Virginia which was George Washington's home. Nevertheless, I was impressed that Ryan remembered this.
