Scott and Lainie arrived last Friday and went back home last night...we went to Ocean Shores and Lake Quinault, went and saw the nukes up close, then Sunday drove to Bremerton and hopped on the Ferry to Seattle..we had a great time..sorry it had to end so soon!

Our friends Artie and Lynn arive tomorrow and will be here with us until the 7th..then I head down to Ontario on the 9th for my nephews wedding week. whew!

More fall..

Trees at Costco in Tumwater
US 101 West toward Aberdeen/Shelton (Black Lake is where the mall is, lol:)
Heading home from Oly
Ok, this was at noon...started out at 33 this morning and fog..
Here is Mud Bay in West Olympia..depending on the tide it's mud or a bay...looks very mucky whatever..

Fall trees and Tumwater falls

Had to go to Costco in Tumwater to pick up my new prescription sunglasses, the Diva Glasses. I had to get them, since I am the DogmomDiva! Anyway, they are cool and have some bling..afterwards we drove over to the old Olympia Brewery, which has been closed for about 5 years and for leasee, but the falls are there, you know 'it's the water' was the theme for Oly Beer. Well, it really is! I never knew there were falls there until one night a couple weeks ago we went to dinner with my cousin Sally and hubby Phil, and there they were all lit up! Beer=Water..well, duh Barb!

The fall colors are all out, here are some pics..enjoy..we are heading south to Sac tomorrow afternoon to spend time with Scott and Lainie, and do some serious mom dress shopping with her mom Cyndi...and go to Apple Hill..I must remember to bring home mandarins, too.

Food

Huh..well we eat enough so i thought I would start a post about food. We all like it, we all need it, beautiful, fattening food, haha. I got a new little camera so I am back to taking pictures of everything, nonsense or not...Got that, Artie? Anyway, its small enough to pop in my purse, so more dumb pictures are on the way, lol!

This was last night's dinner at Billy's in Aberdeen WA. Old historic building but lovely inside with lots of pictures of Old Aberdeen during the logging heyday of the early 1900's..lots of beer and brawls in those days. I hear tell I have a male relative that ended up in the pokey, or got knocked out and tossed out into the harbor. Lovely...huh. Anyway, pictures of my Patty Melt, also of my cousin Donna and her sig. other Larry, and DogPaw and me...

Stressed

Ok I am stressed...I need a dogsitter...Where are my kids and folks when you need them, lol.

Anyone interested in a free trip to beautiful Washington State from Dec. 3rd to 15th? Free airfare, free lodging, lots of licks and doghair guaranteed..inquire at bboyack1@yahoo.com...

I am serious!

How can you resist these sweet faces??

New stuff...

Well, we broke down and bought a new stove and dishwasher, the ones that were here were oldy moldy..yucky..we weren't going to since we don't plan to be here THAT long, but it was getting ridiculous..The dishwasher was disgusting and loud and ugly, and the stove, while not so ugly, didn't work. Anyway, these work magnificently! Now all I have to do is cook and clean, lol!
