Ooops!

Sorry, almost forgot! Forests girlfriend had her baby shower the Sunday of "opening season", and the pic's are of the hat I made with the wrapping tissue and ribbons of her presents. (I told them it was our family tradition!) Aren't they sweet? Jessica is due this Tuesday...she is soooo tiny and is soooo uncomfortable! So, that's what's up with those pictures on the bottom of my last post! more later, t

My Summer Vacation...parts of it!

Was able to go to the ocean again, to a sandy beach. We stayed at a condo on Longbeach, took White Pass over there, as you can see my mountain was out to greet us that day! There was so much to see and do there! Got to go to the Lewis and Clark interpretation center; we could have spent a whole day there, was so neat! Also visited the maritime museum in Astoria, also easily a whole day could have been spent there, also! Did lots and lots of walking on the sandy beaches, watching the crazy waves as the Columbia and the Pacific ocean met! Huge waves!!! It was sunny and clear for most of the vacation, the last two days were more typical October days! There are just so many things to do and see, there. There is a paved path that can take you from the start of the penninsula all the way around it. We only took parts of it! Walked and walked and walked. I was feeling pretty good, so we were typical tourists' the whole time! But, as usual it was good to come home. Before we left we were able to go to Margi's the weekend of 'opening day', and got to see all her kids and grandkids; was a great day, only wish we had been able to spend more time with them! Met Jasons wife for the first time, and his new baby girl...they are both so beautiful! Margi, you really did a good job raising those kids! Also, went to Don's house for Heathers birthday last weekend, he was making won-tons, which are my hands down favorite. It was fun rolling those tons, must have made almost a hundred! Good food, good to see Don and Ruth again, too. Well, that's all for now! Hope you feel better soon, Mo! t

Nothing New

I wish I could say there were interesting times here in ML, but not much new to report, except for a case of walking pneumonia.

We are still working on the finishing touches of our home, and it has been a lot of fun. I am working on a wonderful wall in our bathroom, that will have an "art deco" theme, and I managed to snag the most beautiful linen curtains shown here:


I was hoping to put these on the french doors in the kitchen / breakfast nook. Aren't they gorgeous? They have a beautiful lining, and were on sale! Yay!

I am thinking about putting some blinds on the windows themselves on those same doors, along these lines:


Should be an interesting contrast of textures, yes? We'll have to see.

I did pick up a kitty at Big Guy's house, he's a not-so-feral cat, we call him Wildfire. Pictures to follow - he thinks he's a Ninja Cat, he's lovely!

Hope all is well with my sisters - love to all - Mo
