After a three-year-absence for me and Cora, and longer for Stace, we are having a delightful time with my favorite aunt and uncle.
They live on 2 1/2 acres out in the country west of Seattle, and Cora loved helping Aunt Patty to pick three baskets full of apples from their three-tree orchard.
Cora also helped peel, core and slice the apples, and we've all enjoyed drinking their juice.
Cora and Aunt Patty made a batch, and then Uncle Bill, Stace, and my cousin Alison's boyfriend Tyler made more than a quart more. It's amazing how much better fresh juice tastes than the juice we buy at the store!
The weather our first two days was typical Pacific Northwest, but today (Monday) was nice and it's supposed to be good the rest of our trip. 
We got in late Friday night, and spent Saturday recovering and relaxing. Cora and Patty picked apples, we ate very well, and Stace and Bill worked on Bill's new addition. He bought a 1961 Sunbeam Alpine (a British classic) that needs a lot of love, and Stace helped him clean up the 
engine. They were very pleased to find that it wasn't frozen (whatever that means).Now, Stace is searching Craig's List for classic cars, in earnest. Thanks, Uncle Bill.
