Little hot, little dry. I know. But if you a little dry already, if you got a boat and you go out on the sound fun. Oh yeah. Well, we don't have that, so. Oh, I know. Yeah. But if you do, especially in grape view, so many people live on the water. You just launch your boat at the the marina Fair. Fair Harbor Marina. Oh, what you doing there, Claire? I'm trying to get my microphone right, because we tried a little thing with the audio and I had to move my microphone to, my computer so that it could pick up the audio. Oh. And now I'm trying to get my microphone where I want it. And do you wanna start over? Kind of fun? Nope, I like it. All right. Okay. I like it. I like it. Like it? Okay. A little, a little real life action here. How's that? Beautiful. You hear me? Okay. Beautiful. Okay. I'm gonna pick it up just a, a little bit there. Okay. Hey guys. Hi. How are you, Susie? Great. Talk about the weather. I do love it. Oh yeah. I love it too. It is fantastic. It's June, yes. Yeah. June. June 6th. Sixth, yeah. Yep. Mm-hmm. I'm kind of excited for tomorrow. The the play. Goodnight and good luck. Okay. It's on CNN Live with George Clooney, the Broadway play. Okay. And it might be on Max too. Okay. Because they kind of carry CNN on their platform as well, so I'm looking forward to that, that kind of, how do you feel about watching a play on in the tv? I'm okay with it. You okay? I think it's part of a I think that it's live and we don't get to see that, that often or be a part of history in that way, so I like that. I know it'll be taped. I know we can watch it 24 7 after, but I do want to support that. Yeah. The importance of this event historically, so. Okay. Yeah, I'll do that. Turn on a fan. Cool. Yes, I like it. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be hot here. How about you? You're here, right? We're getting ready to put the the air conditioning unit in later today. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been wallpapering over at the Hideaway. I heard. It is very cool. I'm very excited. I made this little nook closet into a little napping nook Yeah. Kind of thing. Mm-hmm. There's a little desk in there if you prefer to work. Then to nap. Mm-hmm. Crazy, crazy ideas. And I wallpapered a wall in there and I just have to go in and use the straight edge and cut it.'cause I didn't it have one yesterday. Oh, you finishing is probably the most important part. Yeah. So then I'll put it all back together and go to the grocery store, get it ready for my guests Who check in on Saturday. Ooh, fun. Yeah. Okay. Family of four. Nice. Two moms, two girls in their twenties. Oh, two dogs. No one dog. Yeah, that's great. They're gonna have a great time. Yes. And they have beautiful, all the play things. The girls can go to bed probably eight ish or so. They're 20. No, I was thinking they were, because then I, I was thinking it was a mom getaway, so then they can go in the hot tub and then the cooling. So pool and then the una. I don't have a cooling pool, but yeah. Oh, I have a shower. Yeah. Either way. Doesn outdoor shower. Yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah. Love it. Yeah. So yeah, they're not little girls, they're, that's so fun. That's my 20-year-old. Yeah, that's where I'm right now. I don't always know those details, but some people like to provide them, which I appreciate because then I know that their two daughters don't sleep in the same queen bed together, and I should make up the Murphy bed for. One of them. Oh good. Yeah. So it's nice. It's good information, very guests. Good job. Okay. So we're gonna talk a little bit about great view history. I heard, did you say there is Yes. Part of being? Okay. A civilized society is building a government, creating Law and Order and elections. So after they were after they created. Little Detroit. Or New Detroit. Yeah. Then civic organization followed, they elected a local sheriff, they elected a school board. They elected a justice of the Peace or a notary public, and then they had election officials. Ooh, already. Yes. So once all those elections were completed, the the vote tallies went to the county seat in Shelton, Washington, Mason County. So honesty though, as part of this society, honesty was generally assumed, so I don't think, it didn't say that much about arresting people law and order, but because honestly, honesty was generally assumed if someone showed up and they were traveling, they would be fed. If someone showed up and they were traveling and they were at a house and no one was home, they would open the door. Go in, maybe make some food for themselves, clean up, maybe sleep and clean up again, but they maybe left a dollar or money or not. So it was like the Airbnb of yesteryear. Yes. But it, yeah, it was, it was so like if your family was out logging and like the misses went to go stay with her sister or something like that, and your home was empty. It. People would just assume they could go into your home. Yes. Eat your food, leave you a buck. Yep. Clean up after themselves. Yep. And head on their way to their next destination. Yeah. It was just assumed that, and they would leave you a note saying, Hey, probably yes. Hey Claire, thanks for the great Stay here, great host. It was a, it was such a thing that it was mentioned in the book. And the historical. Okay. Yeah, I was looking at that book. Great book to see. Yes. Did you wanna look at mine? You got yours. Great view. The Detroit of the West. Okay. So it really was mentioned in there. I believe you. So it was the thing after the elections took place, the votes needed to go to the Mason County seat in Shelton. Okay. 20 miles away. Well, they didn't have roads. Oh, someone had to walk there 20 miles. Yes. So, so it took you two days. Well, no. A w Zzz was acting as the judge of elections, and he had to, he had a horse. He had a horse. It doesn't, it didn't say, okay, it's he, so 20 miles away he started walking. There you go. Walking. He started walking to Mason County at 11 at night. Okay. To make it the next morning when the votes were due. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And in 1910, women had the right to vote, but many men made up 90% of the electric women electorate. Women would vote, but very few women would vote. And those that did, did it out of a sense of duty versus just taking part in elections. So why do you think less women voted? Is it because like their husband still didn't want them to vote, or maybe they felt like. They couldn't like, it was like, I can't get to the voting place'cause I have kids and I can't go there. Probably all, all of the above of that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. We don't have survey data, so we don't really know. But you could probably guess when they did ask it did say, those that were asked said they did it out of a sense of duty. Yeah. They may not have been that civic duty. Mm-hmm. Because it was, it's important. Well, yeah. 1910, they got the vote. They had to represent the other women. So they couldn't get there. Yes, they did have a Democratic party, a Republican party, and they also had it a progressive party. Mm. And there were people, that's my party in each one there. Yeah. There were people in each one. So the, the school board was the only organized political body until the Great view. Port district in 1923. Oh. So until they had to start organizing to communicate with other ports. And because they have a port what's the port official's name? I don't know. They have one at every port. It's like the grand of the port or something. You mean the Port master? Port Master, thank you. Oh, I dunno. Grandma, master of the port, the port master. Same, same thing. So it's a big deal. So the port yeah. Is kind of the provides access for people to come and go. And industry. And business and yeah. So. That was, you need an elected official to, to handle all that. Well, yes, and to get money for that through, for sure. Yeah. So that was it. Cool. That's, that is our civilized grape view. I love it. I love it. Yes. Well, history a little so. We said we are all, zip what's up? I can speak. It's fine. We already mentioned it's June, but we're gonna talk a little bit about Pride Month and it being Pride month and June. Yes. Are you going to any Pride events? No. No. I'm going to Whiskey Creek Camping. Okay. Cool. Riding our bike. There you go. Going with some family members. Your joy for life. Yes. Yeah. And then heading to Band Oregon. Okay. Riding our bike. Nice. Visiting some friends there. You guys have those E-bikes? Yes. Those are nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do that. I'm not doing anything in particular for pride month. Well, you, but yes, I did buy a beautiful wreath. To put on the door at the Hideaway. Excellent. Which I will be doing today. Okay. And I am excited to support all of my L-G-B-T-Q friends and family members. Yes. And I'm excited to make other people feel uncomfortable because I think that's a little bit part of what it is, like pride. You originally started as a protest, right? It was a protest. Well, the first one was. A riot. So you can take, that's a pun, right? She did air quotes. You, you guys didn't see that. A riot riot Air quotes, but yeah. Protest riot. It was a standing up to what bullying, what was going on at the time. Oh, yes. And saying, here we are. We're not going anywhere and we deserve everything that everybody else does. Well, and I think that still stands true and we need to give them those people. All of us people, everyone deserves love and love is the answer. Yeah. Like that one episode. Mm-hmm. That has love is the answer listeners. Love is the answer. Love is love is love is love is love. Yes. Doesn't matter. I never grew up with that. Even that realizing, the hatefulness of it. We we just didn't, no, my parents didn't talk about it. Look at them. That's all. They never did. I also had an aunt, my aunt Jean, who worked for the airline. She was a CEO of the executive in downtown Chicago, the big tower, the airline, I don't know, twa, I don't know. And there's so many changes. Anyway, she worked for him for years and years, and she was gay. And they had a house. She was Jean, her partner was Jeanie. I love that. Yes. And my dad, mom and dad named my sister Jeanie after her. Oh yeah. Beautiful. Yes. When I was young there was a couple that came to our church men and. I don't know what happened because I was pretty young, but I remember my mom being really upset and us not going to church for a while, and it wasn't because they were there. It was because I think they were asked to leave. Oh. Huh. And so she got really mad at the church. Oh. And so that was kind of a big deal. And I was pretty young, and I, I was like, yeah, I don't understand why they can't just love anybody. Who cares? If those guys love each other, that's great. Good for them. They're not hurting anybody by coming to worship here. I never, I just never understood it. Yeah. Like there, and I asked my mom about it years later, mom, why didn't, why didn't you ever tell us or talk about it? And she said, why would we do that? They're people. They're just like you and me. Yeah, exactly. And that was her thing. We are all equal. Yes, exactly. In God's eyes we are all equal. For sure. For sure, for sure. So that's, you're all made of stardust. Even the gaze, especially even the gaze. Yes. Just love and love and love. Yes, for sure. So that's fun. That's a fun thing. So yeah, what, what's been going on this week? I've got a fun little update, but what, what's been going on with you? Well, something really weird. It seems like whenever I get on a Zoom call. Well, I shouldn't say whenever. No, that's a sweeping generalization. In the past, there have been a couple times I've been on a zoom call, a meeting with the college, or a meeting with a, a group that I'm working with. Mm-hmm. Fred will, Fred will like, let me know. Look at this, look at this. He'll either pop up in the window one time I'm in a meeting and I'm facing the road. The camera is facing behind me. Of the computer because it's the grape leaves. It's beautiful. We have beautiful, we have some grapes behind us, so. I see a bear go across the road. I'm like, it's a, it's a bear. And I'm looking at Freddy's on the track and you're on the Zoom. It's a bear. Well, he missed it. And the next thing I know, he is got a, a pint of beer and he's walking behind me like with a pint of beer. And all these people from the college could see Fred go dozy with this point of beer. It was just precious. That's adorable. And then I kind of put my, my fingers around like. Oh, sorry, sorry. And we all got a huge laugh and then. This past week, I'm on the Bell Fair Food Bank. Actually, let me clarify. It's called Community Loaves. I'm going to bake bread and cookies for the food bank. I'm on a Zoom meeting because it's really, I don't wanna say strict, but it's impressive. You have a certain recipe, you have certain flour. So I'm in this internal learning. Yes. Yeah. And Fred walks in with these two birds in his hand. And they're what? Well, they were gorgeous. They were in your house. Yes, he picked him up. Well, he's a, he doesn't, it doesn't bother him. I know. And he said, look at these birds. Well, I have learned since that first dozy do do, where he walked behind me, that I need to get a screen like behind me. Is it Canva? You can just do that on Zoom. You just put a background in. I got a really nice one. I'll show you how to do it. I already did it. Oh, yes. So anyway, he walks in. I, I, I'm Fred, I that What is happening? How did you get these birds? Oh, they hit the door. So these two birds hit the sliding glass door. I wish you guys could see her face. They were so beautiful. They hit the glass door. They, and at the same time they were flying. Oh. Parallel together. And it was a mating tear. Double suicide. Oh, it was, but they were alive. Okay. And I, I said, Fred, you okay? Okay. I'm almost done. I'll come out and then I'm done. Ran out. And he said I set them back on the ground. I I, they're in shock. Yeah. They were gorgeous. Redhead, yellow body black wings. Oh. And they're beautiful. They're western. Tanger or Western? How big? Like the size of your hand? Like larger than a Finch. Smaller than a Sparrow, maybe Sparrow size. Okay. They were big. Yeah, I was really cute. Oh, so did things survive. Well, okay, this is what, this is a joke between our two families, because the question is, and it happens a lot, did it live? Because when you live out here, sometimes you see dead things. Yes, you do. And you can't tell if it's alive or not. So unless it smells, the need for sure can tell it's dead. But her husband David, don't tell me if it's bad news. Don't. Tell me, just tell me. He doesn't wanna know. No. He wants you to tell him it's good news even. And it's bad news. Yeah. Yes, yes, exactly. So Claire will go at the very end, just skip it and tell me he is alive. He is it alive? I said, well, there's a story. You have to wait for the story anyway, birds hit window, birds in shock. So they're sitting there. Mm-hmm. And then one flew away. Fred's like, nah, let him be. They'll, they'll be fine. So one flew away, zip, and then the other one hours later, two, three hours. I said, Fred, I looked it up. You gotta put it in a box. It's too cold. Mm-hmm. He's like, oh my gosh, Susie. Yeah. Warm it up. Yeah. So I said, I can't do it. You have to do it. I wouldn't do it. I, I, I couldn't do it. I didn't wanna herd it, and Fred just, you know, picks it up. So he puts it in the box and I said, no, it doesn't look happy. He's like, I have to go. I have to mow the lawn. I'm not doing this. I said, okay. So I turn the box out on the side and it kind of scratches out and goes out. And then I'm like, no, no, I gotta put it back in. Fred, you have to. No, I'm busy. So I, I push it in. Yeah. And then wouldn't you know, the thing flew away. Oh, it just needed a little jostling. Yeah. But this was seven hours later and it looked like a little discombobulated, like a little head was a little crooked, but in time it got better. And yeah, cognition set in. Okay. Anyway, there you go. There you go. That's the western sand. Tanger Tanger. There's our, our little nature story for the day. Oh my gosh. Actually I have a second nature story. It's a, is it flying? No, it's not flying. There were two raccoons in our pond this morning. I told you this already. Oh, yes. But I'll tell the listener. There were two raccoons in the pond today, and I think David, and I think they were fogging, so like catching frogs, eating frogs for breakfast, fogging. Yeah. They were all. Playing in the pond and sniffing around and really they do that. Cute. And they clean their food. Yeah. Cool. It's pretty cute. Did you ever have They're big, real big, big, yeah. Like they look like the size of Daisy. No. Yeah. Maybe like a tiny bit. Not as long. It is Daisy, but then with the tail. Yes. Oh my God. Then they get mean they're big. You can't feed them. Do not feed them. I don't feed'em. I know you don't, but they're eating my frogs. That's nature. That's okay. Some of the neighbors feed them. Yes, I know this. Oh, this is not good. Because then they get aggressive and they scratch at your door and you're like, I don't want that. No. So they can scratch at their door. I'm not feeding them. Yeah. I don't want'em to scratch at my door. No, no. They're afraid of hear us. Yeah. Yeah. We got that dog too. She's a barker. Yeah. So Cece, she's a killer. My friend Cassandra says she's a little killer. She's a killer. I'd call her a killer. Killer. She's a killer. She's a killer. Daisy. The killer. Well, we gotta make up a song about that. Oh my God, she's so cute. She's not a killer. She's adorable. She is. She is kind of a killer. When we lived in Gig Harbor, she murdered a couple of bunnies, baby bunnies. Oh, I gave, I shamed her and I said to her. What would the mama think that you just broke The mama Bunny's heart. Oh, look, she's waiting for her baby bunnies. When you killed them, it was the tone, your voice. It was like we, we, we, we, we, she's Daisy's like I. I can't stand that. I'll never do it again. No, she totally did it again. Oh, she's a dog. She's still a core dog. She is. She's core dog for sure. She's so cute. We were at McLean Nature Trail, Uhhuh. Fred and I were walking. Cece was there and she sees a mouse like having trouble. She takes that mouth. Like in her front little teeth and start shaking it. And I was like, I don't even know you Ce what the hell? Daisy's rubbing off. Wow. Well, Cece's a little country dog now. Yes, she is. Yeah. I like that about her. I do too. She fits right in. Mm-hmm. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So my friend Cassandra. She has been, she and her husband Eric. Hi Cassandra. She and her husband Eric purchased a brand new Porsche in October and it is being made, it was being made in Germany and they've been waiting since October, well, since a little bit before October when they started the whole process to get this car. So. They spent a lot of money on it. Was it 2025? 2025? Brand new Portia special made for them, specially made for Eric and ordered and. It looks just like his other Porsche that they had to sell, but it's new and it has the A, B, C, and D that the other one didn't have. But the body style is the same. So it looks the same. Oh my God. Do they don't have kids, do they? No, they don't. They do not have kids. Okay. So they get to spend their money on things that make them happy. And one of the things that makes Eric happy is driving cars and fixing cars up. And their precision machines. And he takes them to like, autocross and they go on these drives with like the Porsche Club. Ooh, fun. And it's so fun. So we were talking about them getting this Porsche, he got the news that it's like three weeks away yesterday. Ooh. So I decided that we should throw them a baby shower. Oh. For the porch, Ron. So I'm th. Xandra and I are co-hosting this baby shower together. I'm helping her. So we're gonna do it and we're having a baby shower for the Porsche because Porsche,'cause they don't have kids and this is, is they don't have kids. And this is the only time I'll ever be able to throw her a baby shower. And it's as much as two or three college educations patients, probably just one. But yes. Wow. Good for them. Yeah. Yeah. And they've been expecting. Since October. Oh, that's great. So right, like feels like, oh, we need to a little celebration. Yes. Yeah. Very nice. So that's happening and I'm very excited about it. I've been on Pinterest looking at snack ideas that are like car themed. Car party themed. Yes. I'm not gonna well, I'll share just one that I found, but it was. Like celery sticks and carrot sticks in a little cup with ranch and they're just called Dip sticks is like the label. Oh, that's cute. Adorable, right? Yes. Oh geez. So we're gonna do something like that, but if you have any snack ideas, feel free to, if you have any car party ideas, feel free to message me at hello@gaview.com. Okay. Oh, you'll, yes, you'll get some. Yeah. So that was super fun. And then Cassandra and I went to Ariel Yoga in Tacoma last week. Oh yeah. Which was super fun. Did you get, speaking of birds flying, were you or birds flying in aerial yoga class? It was just the two of us. There's this woman that does it, her name is Priscilla, and her business is called Silly Wellness, and she's in Tacoma. She does it out of her garage. She used to do a, she used to have a studio, but then when COVID hit, she moved everything at home. And it's a beautiful space. It smelled amazing. Her garden is gorgeous. How did she get, she must have a very tall garage. It's like a normal garage. You don't have to be super high. Yeah. But how do you swing around and have enough room to swing around? Well, that's like around, right? Like I could hang one in here and just swing back and forth from it. Oh, okay. You know, like, I'm not trying to get hyped. Right, right. I was just thinking. Area space. I think it's probably like eight feet. Okay. Eight feet tall. Nine feet tall. Maybe it's a little higher than your house or whatever, but were you sore? Yeah. Wow. Real sore, but not like muscle sore. Like what other sore is there? Well, I, I think like I had a, a bunch of lymph. Drainage happened. Oh. Because you kind of have that silk, like underneath your armpits. Mm-hmm. And it pushes against your arm and it like kind of massages. It doesn't feel like a massage. Does it hurt? But it doesn't hurt. I mean, it's not comfortable, but it's like a tight bra kind of thing in your armpits a little bit. And it, it just. Massaged and moved a bunch of lymph and I was sore for days afterwards, but I decided that that was probably really good for me to move all that lymph stuff around. Yes. Yes. And that I need to go like maybe once a month and just have it be part of my like therapies that I do. Okay. That's cool. Isn. That exciting? Yes. More, more to come on that. I love hearing about more to come that more to come on that. I'll still be going to Pilates. Don't worry Kelly. I'm coming for you. Yeah, I would like to try that too. Yes. We, Susie and I had a conversation about maybe Susie joining me at Pilates. Yes. So it's hard because there's, we're gonna try to figure it out. Yeah. Even if we did it well, more to, more to come. Yeah. But that is kind of like a goal of mine is Pilates. It's so good for you. I love it. Can you buy a machine like a Pilates machine? You sure can. Cassandra has one at her house. Oh yeah. Yeah. But does she use it? So you would take a few lessons? Mm-hmm. Learn how to use it. Mm-hmm. Go to a class like every other week so you can kind of keep up on how you should be doing stuff. Mm-hmm. Maybe you would go to class every other week and you have like one lesson once a month or twice a month, and then you go home and you use it at home. Okay. Yeah, I should do that. You know what? You should do what? Use your Pilates machine at your house. Yes. I was thinking down below your big garage. I, with the mirror in it on a cleaning kick. It's happening. We're cleaning out the garage. We're getting it all cleaned up in there. So it's just a garage. It's just a gym and not a storage space? Yes, because I cannot work out if it's not clean. But if we. I got my Pilates machine. You got a Pilates machine and we just meet like at six or 7:00 AM Yeah, we can do that. Okay. We'll figure it out. We're, yeah, we are. We're just more on that. We're, we're literally brainstorming on the pot. I know, but that's how it works. Yeah. Alright. Any, did you know Oh, are we doing dig you nose? Yeah. We should do dig you nose. But did you, wanna talk about anything else before, did you notice, I thought you had mentioned the bell more like local plug you wanted to make Right. Bell Fair Food Bank? Yes. So there is a be fair food bank, but I like to bake and I, I like to cook but I cannot eat this stuff. I make, it's not, it's just Fred and I. And you, your kids are like, this is, you can't keep doing this to me. These snicker noodles are crazy. Yes. Good. And I can't stop eating. All of us feel the same way. So I said I need to bake for the food bank. So the food bank does take homemade bread from Community Loaves. It's an organization out of Kirkland. And Bellevue. So you take your time, talent, and treasure. They create these recipes. You just don't want any bread. They have the flour. They sell you the bags, they sell you the stickers, the recipes. And you follow these recipes of this healthy whole grain. And the cookies are amazing. They're like protein cookies. Ooh, they're, it looks fabulous. So you order these ingredients and then you get the recipe, you make it at home. It's called Community Loaves. So I'm kind of excited for that. I love it. Yes. So this community food pantry. It is in be fair, it's at 71 Old be Fair Highway Northeast. So it's right, kind of close to the hub if you know where that is. And it says that the, here we go again. Community Food Pantry is a volunteer based food pantry that serves our community three days a week with the help of our dedicated volunteers. So if you're interested in volunteering, I'm sure they could use help. And I'm, if you need help, I'm sure that you could go get food. So it's Monday, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 12 to 4:45 PM And if you want to email them, their email is Community Food pantry. 20 twelve@gmail.com. Well, and it's the Butlers are your contacts, Anthony and Barbara. There is a one person, it's called the Hub. So in this region, the hub there are other bakers. So we get our bread to them on a Sunday and then they distribute it. So it's kind of like this really great web of people. I love it. Yes. So, that was the zoom meeting I was in where Fred walked in with the two birds. I love it, but it's really, really cool. Yeah. So I'm excited about that. That's very exciting. Yes. I love it. Yep. I'm not a baker, but I would definitely be interested in volunteering. So. Well there with all these budget cuts, we just found out at the college, huge budget cuts from Pell Grants. Yeah. So people are not, we, they're not getting, like for us alone, over 3 million less in federal money. Pell Grant money offer the little college. That's a huge number. That's a huge deal at South Puget Sound. Yes. So then we were looking at a couple of the board members that I'm on. The board with one is also on the Thurston County Food Bank, and they're, they're in shock because they would get these subsidies from the government, maybe maybe dairy products, whatever. Whatever. They got gone, gone, all gone. They're not expecting, horrible, expecting any, and everybody's really, really scared. That's. Horrible. It's crazy. Snap, Medicaid, all of it.
