Visitors

It's always a treat to see the deer wander by and  this morning mama and her two younguns sauntered past looking for good things to eat. Jacob and I saw them yesterday at the end of our road and I kinda think they hang out in the woods behind me. Even with the leaves mostly gone from the trees, there are  enough evergreen bushes  to give them a place to feel safe.

Fishin

Yesterday was Bergy's first time fishing with her dad. They have been "fall fishing" just outside the harbor and it was a beautiful day, a  holiday and no school, so it was easy for her to go along. In the old days there were no iPads to ease the bordom, and it can get boring with all the waiting around, but she's pretty good at finding things to do when the hours are long, so I bet she was a nice addition to the "crew" :o)
This video gives you a peek at where they fish and how they fish.

My veteran

Today is Veteran's Day...and this is a pix of my husband who was a Korean War Veteran.  Luckily he was sent to Alaska to serve and not to the korean peninsula.

SigneLynn

The Signe Lynn is just completing her trip from Fishermen's Wharf in Seattle to her new home in Gig Harbor. Her  owners made the move to their new home in the harbor recently and now that the boat is here...they are at last, all in one place. The owner is the father in law of one of my son's and the reason they moved here is, of course, because of grandkids. They are a fun couple and a nice addition to the harbor. Welcome home Bob and Signe.

Dr. Cobbs

Last night was orchestra....and because our conductor and wife were off on some  adventure...he arranged to have a good friend of his, Dr. Paul Elliot Cobbs, work with us for two magical hours. My  heart and flute are still singing :o) 

Jacob

Okay....time for a new pix....how bout this one of Jacob....it's much better than his halloween pix. My friend Kerry. who lives in Canada, and who I met on the internet, sent  the stuffed animal to Jacob when he was little. It used to have a red jacket, which I know is around here somewhere, but to be honest, it's much nicer to cuddle without the jacket.  Occasionally we dig through all the toys and find all the animals...mostly Beanie Babies, and as of now...they are all snuggled together on the love seat in the living room  resting because they were used in a huge animal fight the other day with Jacob's daddy, his uncle Nick, Nick's friend Jill who is recovering from shoulder surgery and of course granny, who has a mean right arm. When granny threw the frog and it hit her crystal glasses, the fight was over. It took me back to the days of raising just boys...things were always flying and nothing was sacred. 

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween, a day late :o)  The kids stopped by to trick or treat yesterday and then headed downtown to the businesses who hand out candy to the kids. The rain held off during their treck and they came home loaded down with goodies. Bergy was a gymnast, Jacob was a blue dragon and Ingy was Cleopatra for the second year in a row...though last year she had all her front teeth :o) Again, another fun day for the kids and mom and dad were  ready to call it a day when they left because they had also helped at school with daddy in one room and mommy in the other. I just counted my blessings as they all left, thankful that my days of doing those things are over :o)
