Sunday musings

Welcome back to my blog!
We've enjoyed a busy week this past, and I wanted to update you on our goings on.
The band has been quite busy this past week. A Change of Command up at NAS Whidbey on Thursday, a Change of Command (new Navy Region Northwest admiral-our boss) over in Everett on Friday followed immediately by a change of command/disestablishment/establishmet AND retirement over here at Bangor (this was a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG ceremony) and then a parade in Shoreline yesterday.
Last night, Martha and I went to C.I. Shenanigans in Tacoma for dinner-fabulous! Salmon roll appetizers, roasted swordfish with almonds, she had the baked clams, then we shared a complimentary (we told our waitress we were celebrating her birthday) Mile-High Mud pie for desert. Incredible! Then to Jazzbones for a great show by the Paperboys, a terrific Celtric rock band from Canada. http://www.paperboys.com/index.htm
We first learned about the group while we were visiting the Tsilan Winery at Lake Chelan-they had a promo CD playing there, and were performing the next night at the winery. We liked the sound of the CD, and wanted to check out their show.
While were on our date, Devita, who also works at the day care, took care of our little darlings. She has done a wonderful job babysitting the children, and they both really like her. She has a bright red Ford Focus, so she is ESPECIALLY cool in my son's eyes!
Other news-Martha is done with the union work she has been doing all year--they finally FINALLY finalized a contract for the Bremerton teacher's union for this coming year. The teachers will vote on it on the 6th, and I think it will pass.
Another busy week ahead-Martha has numerous meetings, trainig sessions, and such. I have a few rehearsals, a ceremony or two, another parade next Saturday over in Monroe.
Talk to you later! I'll post some pictures from their trip down to Sunriver really soon.
We went blackberry picking this afternoon-not too bad, kids got a little bored after a while. Not a very big haul. I may go by myself again tomorrow...
