Sinkhole

The road we take to/from work, church, grocery store, Mark's Dad's house, etc was recently closed due to a large sinkhole/slide. It happened during the heavy rains/flooding a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately they can't even start work now until April when things are a little more stabilized. Then it will be 6-8 weeks for the repairs! There's only one other road we can take from the marina so hopefully that road stays open! You'll see in one of the pictures that a car slid down the side - no one was injured.

Summer/Fall 2007 update

We did get out for a few day sails this summer but that was about it. Hope to do more next year and maybe even over the winter. Since we have our full enclosure, which keeps us out of the wind and rain, we can go out.



We are still on D dock at Shilshole but will be moving this month to our permanent slip a few boats closer to the gate.

We made two trips to Minnesota this year - once in August for the Butterfield Threshing Bee. It rained most of the weekend so some of the activities were cancelled but we still had fun. Had an opportunity to visit with lots of relatives. Then we went back to Minnesota in October for Aunt Miriam's wedding to Vaughn. Again, visited with lots and lots of relatives!
