Too Cute Not to Share

Here is Claudette modeling her beautiful western jacket she fell in love with while out here. This was so fun she was really excited about this jacket.

And an absolutely fun picture of John longing for the open road (that's George's motorcycle helmet he's got on!)

LOBSTERS

I'm still new at this so my entries aren't in the order I would like them in so bear with me.

George's mom came for a visit and she had lobster flown out from her home in Rhode Island. So George being the expert lobster maker took and boiled them up in a big pot and we had an absolutely wonderful dinner!

George was worried I wouldn't be able to finish my lobster so he graciously volunteered to finish it for me; I had to fend him off with my fork! I love crab but had only had lobster one time before, but I could sure get used to that yummy treat!!! MMMMM MMMMM GOOOD.

CLAUDETTE CAME FOR A VISIT!

George's mom Claudette and her hubby John came out from Rhode Island to spend Thanksgiving with us. They were able to get up to Seattle to see the Space Needle and we took them over to the coast to watch the Spouting Horn blow over the Highway in Depoe Bay. It was such a good trip and a really great visit. I was extra lucky this year I was able to dodge almost all of the Thanksgiving cooking, Cluadette came and commandeered the kitchen and that was perfectly fine with me! George had a double treat Thanksgiving by mom and meat pies, something I hadn't had before but they are nummy! So here are some pictures from Claudette and Johns visit, we hope they are able to make it all the way back out here for our wedding this September. My camera malfunctioned so ignore the dates on the photos!!! haha. oh well.

SUNSHINE BREAK

winter in oregon can be a bit dreary, the rain can get to a person so i felt like sharing some pictures from my garden this last spring/summer in hopes of keeping some of the winter blahs away! hope you enjoy them.
