Two Whole Finishes and a Fun Adventure!


I recently finished these two projects!


These two almost match!


We had a fun trip to Port Angeles, WA, recently. It's a fun place to visit and take nice walks on the Olympic Trail.  There's lots to see in the city as well, including a very nice yarn shop!



A  ways down one of the trails along the water is a park where you can see this memorial for September 11th. It's in honor of some of their residents who helped during that tragedy. 


The girder is from one of the fallen buildings and weighs 1,444 pounds!


Red hot pokers and a view of a couple of ships. You can take a ferry from this town to Canada.


We have never seen so many Canadian geese all at once!


This is just one of the interesting pieces of art on the city streets.

Have a nice day! This afternoon we are headed to our grandkid's school to see an exhibit that includes one of Stella's projects. (Yes, school is still in session until the end of the month because of a strike last fall.)

What a fun day! What a beautiful view.

We have benches on the boardwalk that are memorials for those in the area that lost their lives in the Pentagon on 9/11. My next door neighbor at the time worked there and was MIA for a while until her family and co-workers realized she was out of the building for the day at a workshop. Scary times. It's how I felt when I knew my son was in the Navy Yard the morning of the mass shooting. It was 1 and 1/2 hours from when the story broke until I could locate him.

I have a love/hate relationship with Canadian Geese. They've made a right mess of our marina this year but their babies are just so darn cute.

That sea horse is so cool!
One day I'd love to do a road trip down the Pacific Coast of the U.S.

That is a beautiful hat and socks. The socks are a really fun color. Your little trip looked like lots of fun. I'm sure missing Washington a LOT right now. It's so hot here. We were looking forward to some cooler weather.
Take care,
Blessings,
Betsy

Love the seahorse.

Public art is one thing I never get tired of seeing. It seems every town puts their own spin on things.

One of my favorites is a Ben Franklin bronze where the surface is made up of keys.
