The Adventure Begins

All the comforts of home.... PDX airport provides plugs for computers and Scott gets his cup of Starbuck's coffee.  Free WiFi keeps us connected.  We fly east this morning.

October Adventures

After a very busy summer, a car crash on Friday the 13th (Sept), an early snowfall just as we were leaving for Oregon, and an otherwise-uneventful trip down the Al-Can highway, we finally reached the beach house.  Then two days later we were hit by a typhoon.  September was quite an adventure.  Scott finally could relax a bit!

 

It seemed like his relaxation only lasted a few minutes... between hosting guests from Alaska (during the typhoon) and Texas, and packing for our upcoming trip, he managed to take down the two trees that were blocking our front steps, rebuild the deck in front of the library door, build a work bench and shelves for the garage, arrange to have a generator shed built, and clear out most of the remaining storm debris from the yard.

 

 

As you can see the place looks pretty good now.  We bought a "bollard" to give the yard a bit more nautical look and we are looking to turn the new area into more of a rock garden.  Every time we take the dogs for a walk, we check out the gardens in the houses we pass...we've got some great ideas for the landscaping.

 

 

The dogs have given a four paw rating to the improvements in the front yard... they now have a sunny porch on which to work on their tans.
