Happy Birthday Tim

Good-bye Beautiful Cedar Tree

 

Our cedar tree died and had to be removed before it fell on the house. Our backyard feels bare now. We all miss the cedar tree.  I tried to count the rings in one of the logs that came off the tree, and reached only 50. I think the log was from the split crown though, and not accurate. I need to climb up the remaining stump to do my count. What should I plant around the stump now to fill in the area, and soften the treehouse? Any suggestions?

Finally home!

I finally arrived home yesterday for thanksgiving break. The past week at school was very busy for me. I had a math test, comm essays, and had to usher a play at school for my theatre appreciation class. While people had to collect tickets or pass out programs I worked the concessions stand and had probably the easiest job of all. The play that was showing is called Inspector Carol (or something like that.) It is required for us to see it so I most likely will watch it when I get back next week.
 At home I have been relaxing and watching my cousin knox. Today the Anessa Alana Avin and Ashtin also came over so out house was filled with kids running around.

See you guys tomorrow!

November Fishing

This was a first ever Tuna fishing trip in November.  Normally the season is over in early October.  Nathan took the "action" shot of me catching a Dorado.    We also caught two Yellowfin Tuna and some small yellow tail. We had a great afternoon meal today.  Still plenty of fish to bring to LA on Thanksgiving week.

Indian Summer at last

First ever November swim.

Here's a picture I found on facebook.  Is that a tuna Chris?

Saturday in Seattle

The new Chahuly glass museum at Seattle Center is very different and quite spectacular.
