The kid's home for the next five weeks. I keep smiling when I look at her. She looks so... so adult.

It's been good apparently so far, but since all the kids are going home for Thanksgiving, they decided it would be bad to then have them come back to campus for two weeks. That seems like a good call to me. So home for both holidays.

And she brought her climbing shoes with her

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dinner's in the oven

We waddled back in the door from Thanksgiving at the Primroses'. An outdoor meal in their newly spruced up backyard. With a large and blazing fire pit. The food was fantastic and one side or the other of me was always warm.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. May next year's be closer to "normal."

Glad you guys were able to get out.

Tricia just got her grades back for her first quarter at University of Oregon.

She made the Dean's list. And then got an email from the Dean (probably a group email) saying that if she keeps up grades of that level she might qualify for more scholarships.

Go Ducks.

(And right now she's home to have four wisdom teeth removed in one go - yuck.)

Dean's list means an over 4.0 GPA.

Like saying you gave 110%.

Impossible sir...it's in Johnson's underwear...

Congrats to T! I can't believe one quarter is already over. WOW - time sure does fly!

Well, well, well. She's really taking to rowing. It seems that the team (her team) is to her college time as U.C.S.B. Excursion was to Katie's. She texted us this photo today with the caption:

"Practice 4/12 for spring break and I’ve got some real pretty hand blisters

🚣🏼‍♀️ I look like I’ve been in a fight."

I just love this photo. She looks so together and strong.

My response to her, by the way was: "Take lots of photos… so we can compare them to your feet this summer."

Pretty tuff. Whereas her dad is just tuff.

The kid's tough. Today she sent us this photo of how her hands are doing. But the photo had no comment with it... the hands are what they are. Instead we heard about her excitement in getting promoted to a more advanced position on the boat.

Wow, Tricia is 19 now! That means I've known her for 17 years! Have a great birthday T girl!

clink · « **Reply #74 on:** April 01, 2021, 06:52:21 PM »

Happy Birthday T.
Port or starboard?

Brad Young · « **Reply #75 on:** April 01, 2021, 06:57:47 PM »

We just talked with her on the phone and during the call read her three birthday wishes. She had a great day. Good weather, good practice, good classes and lots of birthday messages.

She says "thanks," and "thanks BAP for the text message too." Oh, and Clink? "Port."

Loading up for her team's first live meet. With real boats (not rowing machines), outdoors (on the Columbia River, not in the gym), and against real other colleges (not virtual):

She's good. Where's the Olympics after Japan?

Tricia just texted us this message:

"I got moved to the varsity boat for the week (to temporarily replace someone who’s injured, unfortunately) and here’s some video from this morning

"

I told her: "Yikes, you’re just a little kid. Won’t they eat you alive!? I’m worried about my little girl."

She replied with: "Yeah, I felt that way too."

The video is really, really cool. Is there anyone here who can help me post some of it?
