Letters from Seattle July 2, 2010

....I just had to share with you the unsolicited compliments I have been receiving from my neighbors on the beach. They are so pleased with not only the work but the skill and efficiency of the carpenters on the job. In fact

one of them apparently helped rescue an elderly neighbor who had fallen out of his boat on Friday!

...The house looks great! We’re excited!

.....We spent a delightful evening with the Coles, our friends and the folks who actually helped us start our 4th of July tradition at the beach!

.....On  Sunday afternoon we went to the Donaldsons (Owen's folks) place on  Hood Canal.  Although Alan calls it "the Shack", the house is quickly outgrowing and out-styling that title!

It was a very relaxing day - and it didn't rain! Dinner was a feast , followed by games and fireworks under a calm clear sky.

....Although we missed Camano, Jeff and I  thoroughly enjoyed sharing  our friends' celebrations. Crabbin season is underway! Thanks, Julie for making our first harvest so easy and fun!
