Bri's visit to Deceptions Pass

I couldn't be a more proud older sister...my little sister summited Mount Rainier two weeks ago.  What an animal!  I am so proud of her.  She made my day by coming up to visit and spend a day with me.  So, I took her to my favorite place in the NW....Deceptions Pass.  The sun cleared as we climbed on the boat for the Deceptions Pass Boat tour (a favorite of mine).

We drove out to West beach to look for whales & porpoises (no sightings, but it was still GORGEOUS!!!).

Then we headed out to Whidbey Island to find some food.  And we found the cutest little Thai house with pretty decent food.

Last stop....a old barracks (did I even spell that right?)...

It was an absolutely fabulous day...sunny, on the water, beautiful, stress free, and just a great time with my little sis (who was a wee bit sore!!).  Brit, I am so proud of you for tackling Rainier...you are awesome!  I absolutely love and adore you and your visit was totally what I needed!  Thanks.

Project '50

This is our new project (although I have not done a whole lot with it yet).  Sam bought this car from his buddy Jeff...he has been in love with it from the first time he laid eyes on it years ago.  There may be a bit of rust, a few dents and a couple of holes in the floor...but that can be fixed!  Sam has sanded and sanded and sanded some more.  In between the sanding he is pounding out the dents and has patched the floor holes on the drivers side.  I stepped in to help paint!

Let's call this phase I.

Here are the shots of the '50 when we got it (pre-fab work):

Here is the painting phase (post Sam pounding and sanding)

Can't wait to take this baby out on the road with the sun shining!!!
