poor Henry

Todd and I went camping for one night over on the Dosiewallops River.  It rained the entire time.  There was snow on the hiking trails (4").  But we made the best of it, ate, drank, and even was able to have a campfire.

But, I am not complaining.  there is over one foot of cold snow at my Grandmother's house in CT.

Lost Alaska pics

Here are a few pics from the trip to Alaska Todd and I took late November.

Here are pics of Canadian mountains as viewed from the ferry.

Here is the creek we camped by.

And here we are on a sleeting morning.

Sticky buns

Last night I started making sticky buns.  Today we'll find out how they will taste. 

Funny part is, that the elastic of my skirt gave out and as the night progressed it kept inching down.  Todd caught this pic of me in the kitchen, my hands were to dirty with sticky dough to keep the skirt up. Ha haa!

And finally the people shots

Of course one must include Henry....

And the last night we made a banana creme pie.  Cindy D dumped in the frosting some red food coloring.  It tasted great but getting past the redness would be a turn off should it be at the store.

and soem more randoms.  thanks Cindy D.  It was a great trip and I greatly enjoy looking at your perspective of the place I live in.

We went to Port Townsend to look at the boat docks.

Cindy D's visit

Cindy came up to the Pacific Northwest from the dry area of Phoenix.  We spent the first night in Seattle, toured around Pike St Market the next day and was back to the island by Saturday night.  The photos posted are all from Cindy Dulong.  They are her eyes and photographic skills.  Hitting this link FSK to see her blog.  This will take you to one of her posts and you can tour around to see the others.
