picnic with down coats..........

okay, it was sunny but might cooooold......We did manage to finish a glass of wine (made by Marliese) and scurried in the house to warm up.















Marla was enjoying all the photo albums that Marliese brought along to share......












Marliese so enjoyed checking out the ocean every day.....

Cupcake & Wine......yum

We found the greatest recipe for cupcakes, and they made 2 dozen.....
















Finally, a good picture of Marla and me....Yeah!!!!!
















The icing is the best part....cream cheese

Full Rainbow.....

You can actually see the rainbow coming out of the water.......just amazing............












And, we could see the end of that rainbow.......

Low Tide..........

Faja had a tough time herding us all together......















The girls were walking on the tide pools, but never saw any starfish....




















There really is so much to see when the tide is so low.....Wish I paid more attention in science class!

Excess energy.........

This is the greatest company one could ask for. The kind that pitches in and helps out. Jayne, you would be so proud........she is just like you!

Hiking................eeeeeeek.........

Marliese and Cass are old hand at this hiking stuff.......Marliese just tosses her on her back and off they go.














Here's Marla, new hip and all. She kept up beautifully, and as usual there was laughing all the way.



















38 years......thats how long Mar and I have been hanging out......We don't look a day over 40, right?????

Gardening-------------------

All the girls were getting their hands dirty.......Perhaps spring is in the air!

S'mores anyone???????????

I believe that Miss Cassiday ate the most marshmellows.....














Marla enjoyed them also.......




















We weren't off to a good start here, but fortunately only the can burned, and Kurt's shoes got a little charred...lol











Love, love the firepit.....

Finished Projects...............

Everybody's artistic ability comes out when crafting......

Crafting.................

A great time is had by all........

All friends and family are going to make stepping stones....















Makes a great memory, and we all have a blast making them.........














Marla is really concentrating......

Gravel........

I am telling you.....this man cannot get enough GRAVEL.......It makes him so happy. From the minute we jump into the truck and drive to the Bark and More shop, he is smiling.

Faja doesn't even bark at the guy pouring the gravel into the back of the truck.......





Fathers day, just get him gravel......

Work in progress.......

Actually, its almost finished. Its painted and hanging on the wall in my sewing room. Now, Kurt is painting the dividers for the cubbies. This will hold all the various stabilizers I need for the embroidery.........

Gray Days.......

Even the gray days are beautiful here. You could almost see the rain falling from the sky.

Work.....Work.....Work

It never ends......Kurt's extra work load. Kind of like the laundry.....there is always some to wash.












When you walked out the side door, the floor would sink......So, Joe from Orca came and hammered something underneath the deck.














Then, Kurt had to put some wood underneath to stabilize the kick plate...

Smiling here...........

Not sure who loves the grass more......Faj or me!

TAAA DAAA

Kurt can absolutely do anything!!!!

Every single rock came from "Faja's Beach"
Many a s'more will be consumed from here this summer.























We added some new gravel around the fire pit.....I need to snap more pictures.
