Port Angeles & More Rum Pot




We got back yesterday from our trip to Sequim to get the Pacific Coast Honda. Dan Currie brought it to Dan & Irene's place. Pat and Dan Cyr immediately set about playing with it, as soon as it arrived. Irene made us a scrumptious dinner. The next day we were allowed to go with the Sequim Seniors on their trip to the Scottish Games, as Dan is a volunteer and drives the bus, as well as helps with the upkeep of the bus. A good time was had by all. I have no idea how the Scottish dancers could be so energetic in those hot costumes and the high humidity heat. The new dog, Hagar, is quite well behaved and only chews his own toys. Nice big great dane.
The photos are a sailing ship that was in Port Angeles harbor when our ferry was coming in. The black & white dots are a screen that is along the railings of the outter part of the outside deck of the ferry. The islands are in Deception Pass. We stopped here for a short while on our trip with the Seniors Bus.

The rest of July is looking quite busy. Then on the August long week end Jordan should arrive to visit his sister for a few days. At the end of August the 3 Grants from Scotland come over for a visit. They seem to fit in nicely with our routine. They enjoy the bath/bedrooms and then can visit downstairs to their hearts content. I hope Andy can get some time off to spend with them. Tara is back in Uni until the end of December, when, I believe, she is finished.

Pat brought home some cherries and some blueberries. I pitted and added 3 cups of cherries and 2 cups of blueberries with about 1/4 cup of sugar and another 1/2 cup of brandy. The pot is about 3/4 full. I will probably need to move it into the large pot again.

I am working on the series called 'lambs'. I have 24 photos to tweak and add to the album. This album is about the 'Serta" sheep that Irene has been collecting. We bring them any new sheep that are available when we go to their place. They started this collection when we were on the Model T Ford meet out of Cochrane, Alberta, two summers ago.
