Sequim Saturday

                                                  Our cabin next summer!

                                            A great dock for crabbing

Jack's brother Gary drove up for the day and we scouted out a church bazaar and the Pumpkin Patch Swap Meet.  Stopped at Sunny Farms for oysters and pistachios.....then on to GreyMarsh Farms for fresh Blueberries and corn on the cob.The tamales at the Pumpkin Patch are the main reason we go there. Gary bought a Coleman stove for $10 and Jack bought a WWII canteen for $1.00. Jack bought  me a silver bracelet that has a goat on it! Not sure where that canteen will wind up but I'm hoping the garage somewhere. :)

The fog finally cleared and it turned out to be a nice day. Mid 60's and some sun.

Foggy and Soggy

While Jack did manly RV things today I did some Christmas shopping for the grand kids. I tried to find a particular lavender farm up Lost Mountain Rd but the fog was so thick I couldn't see anything!

I also took a trip up to Ediz Hook in Port Angeles....and Jack if you're reading this I was looking for the kitties and didn't get (m)any rocks so there is really no need to look in the trunk of the car.

Rainy Movie Day

                                                  Garden at the Office

                                          Veggie Garden at the RV Park

Woke up to rain again this morning so we watched a movie about the takeover of the White House by terrorists...but since it starred Morgan Freeman you can guess the outcome. It was a good movie but very violent.

Stopped by to talk to our future landlords at the cabin down the road and get a receipt for our deposit. They are an interesting couple with a long family history in Sequim and lots of tales about the area. Actually enjoying the cooler weather and rain. Looking forward to possible thundershowers.

The Hillbillies next door are rather loud. No banjo music but they are loud talkers....or their motor home walls are paper thin.

Labor Day

We woke up to rain on the roof this morning. Love it.

This RV park is full. People coming and going and parked all over the place.....tents,extra cars, guests....the previous management would be having a cardiac about now. The new managers are friendly and accommodating.  Here is the new web site. http://www.johnwaynewaterfrontresort.com/

 A couple of friendly hillbilly types moved in next door. (Men) One wears a knife strapped to his waist. If I hear banjo music I'm locking the door. Jack's fireman friend from San Diego is back here as well.

Not a real exciting day...laundry,grocery shopping,watching golf and a quick visit to the 7 Cedars Casino.

Have to post a new picture of grandson Rowan, who is two weeks old. He is adorable.

Back to Sequim

We had an uneventful trip back to Sequim this morning. It's nice to be back to our view of Sequim Bay and the John Wayne Marina. Beautiful sunny day, temps in the 70's.

Jack's Back/Cat's in the Closet

Rufus hides out in the closet.

Picked Jack up at SeaTac yesterday afternoon after his run to Palm Desert with the Lincoln. He said his only glitch was spending two hours at the top of the Grapevine in traffic due to a wreck. The Grapevine is the DEVIL. Also the car won't fit in our garage due to all our stuff...so it's at Dick and Sue's....(We'll get it our before you get home D and S!)

We'll b e moving back up to Sequim for a few weeks and then heading south. We've really enjoyed our time with family and friends and especially new baby Rowan.

Trip South

Rowan Day 8

Jack got up at 3AM and headed out the door around 3:30 to begin his trip south with the Lincoln. He'll arrive in Modesto this afternoon, stay with Dorothy and Mervyn, then make the final push home Tuesday afternoon. The car is packed with stuff we figure we don't need for the next month and will sit in the trunk,in the garage until we get back. Jack will fly back up to SeaTac Wednesday afternoon.

I drove up to Tacoma to visit  8 day old Rowan. In this picture above I think he looks like Derek. He is eating and sleeping well. Mom and baby are both healthy and sister Madison is an expert diaper changer already.

***************Update****************

Jack made it to Modesto after about 12 hours on the road. He'll have a shorter day tomorrow to reach the desert.
