The World is in Astoria 6.19.09

The World came to the Port of Astoria today. I've been waiting
nearly a year for this port of call so that I could see the massive moving community. I can only imagine what it must be like to live aboard this vessel and circumnavigate the world! Check out the web site. Just one year's worth of Port of Calls is fascinating. We probably will not see this ship again for at least another 5 years (if we are lucky to have them call on our Port again!).

In typical Astoria style, we rolled out the overcast and misty weather! It has been nice all week but this morning we woke to rain and have had it most of the day. The winds kicked up around 5pm.

And in the wandering fashion . . . William is home tonight. It has been a day for Bill, he started out at the Doctor's office at 8:30 getting his legged checked. He still has an underlying infection going on which created swelling and a pocket of less than pleasant stuff. He has had this area lanced and is on - you guessed it - another round of antibiotics! The doctor is not concerned. I, of course am a bit freaked (yes, I know I am a worry wart and have been told so by at least 3 people this week) but . . .
Bill returns to the doctor on Monday for follow-up, we will be monitoring this closely to make sure things continue in the positive direction.

William has pictures to show us. He bought a new camera and when he turned it on to show his dad, the lens wouldn't open. He is very upset as this was a big investment for him. We will try and resolve this tomorrow. I'll post some of his stuff tomorrow morning.!

For tonight, enjoy the pictures of the World.
