... the lawn. Then a siding delivery came to complete the siding. Fort Rock Construction is doing a fine job! Carlee and I primed and painted the inside of her Farm Courier truck and it looks smashing! Now she can mess it up with produce and product!!! You go girl! Mercury brought in two vegetarian pizzas from two favorite ...

... em dead (not literally) Doctor Bill! That night, while we were parked in a grocery store parking lot while Jodie was getting supplies, I looked out the window and saw 2 of the freakiest looking dogs yet. I asked the owner if I could take some pics and she proudly said "yes." They are Mexican hairless dogs and if you look carefully, one has a mohawk and the other is playing it conservatively. Good golly, what is the deal with these dogs?

... did this week while riding the skiff over to Vashon Island to visit with Barbara (Carlee's Mom) and Doug on their farm. Can't wait. Gotta say a word or two about a couple we met at Ho. Mayomi and Shanti were checking out the postings of ranger programs when we all started talking. We fell in so easily they came on over and we got to know each other a bit. Mayomi is a medical doctor who also includes alternative healing modalities in her practice ...

... is where the pioneers first set up the city. They had a few sewerage and drainage problems after realising that tides came in as well as out and it was becoming a dangerous and whiffy area to settle in. It was made more dangerous when a fire wiped out most of it. This then left the city with some decisions to make. The business people wanted to build straight away but the city chiefs wanted to sort out the drainage by smoothing the slope to the waterfront and ...

It's a bright, cold winter's day at Island Wood, an environmental education center, and the community is celebrating the coming New Year with the Japanese custom of making and eating mochi. . So what is mochi and how do you make it? After ...

... key. To my surprised she said yes. She was very kind. As I opened my email to send John an email, telling him that I have arrived, I saw an email from him, and needless to say, in that email he had explained where he had put the key. I can assure you that I had looked everywhere, except the place he had told me in the email. I had even moved those chairs that the key was left underneath one of them. But I had moved the whole pile of chairs and not one by one! Anyway, I said ...

... this hidden treasure. Later that afternoon we were back on the ferry Seattle bound. We walked to the Fine Woodworking Gallery, and the Glasshouse Studio, and the Zeitgeist Coffee House ...

... be a place that was never potty-trained! After the quick descent back to ground level, we got on the Monorail, which took us further into town - from there it was a four block walk to Pike Place Public Market (yeah, we know, they spelled it wrong, just like Pike's Peak!). Pike Place is celebrating its 100th year - it started as a farmer's and fishermens market, providing customers with an opportunity to "meet the producers" and ...

... overcharge you...hmmm I spent that today on a coffee. Or better yet when you are bartering to buy something and are fighting over like 20cents... really it did seem like a lot at the time. You are going like 90mph in the back of a truck on a bumpy dirt road blindly passing cars on corners and the only real thought in your head is that you are getting kinda hungry.
