Big Storm Predictions

Well today all the news stations were predicting a major blow. Well at 7am things look pretty calm. Then the wind started blowing. We lost power around 9am but only for an hour or so. But this was enough to send Anita and I out on a shopping trip. Mainly for some gas for our camp stove. One always needs fresh coffee. We spent a couple hours checking things out from new kitchen appliances to a bag of munchies. Well the wind got pretty strong around 2pm as you can see from the picture of the boat trying to beat it's way up the lake for shelter. It's now almost 9pm and the winds are still strong but seem to be on the decline. Life is always interesting here on lake Sammamish from the glassy calm days to the big storm days. I love them all.

Sailors Warning

Good Morning from Lake Sammamisn and Key Center. The first picture was taken from our house on lake Sammamish and The second picture from brother Bill's in Key Center this morning 10/9/07 around 7am. Boy are we lucky boy's and seem to think alike. I really tend to favor Bill's shot with Mt. Rainer in the background.
Now I guess we will just sit back and wait and see if their is merit in the saying "Red in the morning , Sailors warning."

Dinner at Bell's

Went across the lake and had dinner at Ron and Bess Bell's. Had a fantastic time. We all laughed til we had tears in our eyes. There is nothing better than sharing old times with old friends. Where O where does the the time go. I was a little uncomfortable as I pulled my hamstring while trying to take advantage of one of the last good days for water skiing. I guess now as it turns out this was the last day of skiing this season for this kid. Hopefully the leg gets a little better so I can get some more air chairing in before it gets to damn cold. But what the hey its only a matter of a couple of months and the days will be getting longer. Well ,good night ,it's way past my bedtime.

Larry And Jane

Larry and Jane. Came over yesterday afternoon for a visit, a over nighter, and a Dr. appt this morning. Larry and I watched the Seahawks beat the 49rs while Jane and Anita went on a little shop about. Then we had tenderloins tommy for dinner. I think everyone had a great time.
