Slithering or Rhoads’ End or Ahoy Mateys! or Sunset Boggie

Arriving at Linden’s place, Rhoad’s End, on Orcas feels so good. Simone (3) plays with Celeste (4) and Rhoads (6) while Naomi (5 weeks old) sleeps most of the time.

“Look what I caught!” -Rhoads

Our ship!

Had to stop and feed the horses apples.
