My wife was going to be a walker, today, in the Bellingham Bay Marathon. Why, I do not know. I get enough exercise to suit me by going up on roofs and crawling around attics and crawl spaces. I guess she feels the need to be macho. So I decided that, like last week, I would hop the Lummi Island Ferry and go over to the Lummi Store Cafe for breakfast. Problem was, the wife was going to be out walking. So I called a friend of mine to see if he wanted to go. He had never been to Lummi. It seemed like a good plan and, fact is, it worked out great. We left with plenty of time to catch the ferry. What I had not realized is that the very race my wife was walking in goes right through the roads we were taking to Lummi. We should have gotten to the ferry with about 15 minutes to spare. As it is, we drove up, they were just loading because we were nearly late so we hopped on and we were gone. The info on the big marathon is described here in the local newspaper. Had I read the paper, I guess I would have known. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith

Hi Steven,
And so -
How was the breakfast?

Pictures, you did take pictures, right? I have always wanted to visit Lummi Island.
