Had lunch with Cari, Robin and Wendy for our biannual birthday celebration. Cari thought it would be fun to post this picture as Azure is a big fan of the penguin. Jann came in to town that evening and we spent a few days shopping and the ALE home tour before she had to wing her way back to Florida. The Jersey Boys play at the 5th Avenue Theatre was next and it was wonderful. Lunch with Judy and Kandace before Kurt and Judy left for Hawaii. Dick and I washed three boats last friday. He quit again. (For those of you that don't know this, Dick keeps helping us when we need an extra hand working on the boats, then he immediately quits again.) Went to Whidbey Island with John and Terri and had a 60th birthday dinner for Steve Sutherland. Between that and the shop sales we keep busy. Wish you all a Happy Holiday.

We had a little going away party for Mike and Azure before they left. About 24 of their friends showed up for the feast. Dick and Azure prepped and stuffed the bird!

We dropped Azure and Mike off at the airport this morning for their 3 month trip to South America. What a whirlwind its been around here....we will miss them.

We are having Christmas dinner at our house tomorrow. We are celebrating one month in advance, so Azure and Mike can join us. This blog is one of my presents. Wow, thanks Az for getting me into the wonderful world of blogging! Pictures to follow.
