LaConner, WA

Thousand Trails has a park in one of the prettiest places here in Pacific Northwest but you know, their Internet and phone service is B A D!!!  I would be sharing a picture a picture of the bald eagles we watched the other day playing out here over the water but can't get the picture uploaded!  Had a great day though, friend Joyce came up and we just hung around and chatted and got caught up.. Hadn't seen each other for a few years so that is always fun.  Yesterday we had picture perfect day and took ferry over to Friday Harbor in San Juan Islands for outing.  Lovely day and enjoyed it very much. Again (too 125 pics) connection not good enough to upload pix but will get better I hope when we leave here end of this month!! Oh well. We'll do what we can as we are able.. meanwhile we are fine and did get out for a little pickle ball.  Thunder all morning with a little rain and looks like sun is trying to come out this afternoon. Ah well. That is Pacific n/w for you!

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
