Dad's Christmas - 2008

Here are some pictures of Dad's Christmas Ornaments from this year. He only put of two trees this year. Jenny and Dad spent the last couple of days taking down the Nativity Scene, misc decorations and one tree. So, that leaves us with the revolving tree...and they will probably have it put away by the end of the week. It's a sad time...but there is always next Christmas, right?

This is an antique ornament that Mom & Dad have had for ages.

This is handmade by Mom, Dad and me back in the 70's.

This is "The Grandkids Ornament"...all 12 have their names on it.

An Angel...but I don't think Mom made this one.

I made this button ornament...it's one of my favories!

One of our newest...Hannah & Paul Daniel!

A beatiful red ornament that lights up.

JUNE AT FIRST BEACH, WASHINGTON

Today I was checking out one of my favorite blogs...Forks, Washington & The Olympic Peninsula...where Mary Helen had posted some pictures of First Beach, WA. Her pictures were winter shots of pictures I had taken in June. So, she has inspired me to post my summer photos of First Beach. Please check out Mary Helen's site to see what a difference 6 months makes!

The inlet at First Beach...notice how low the water is and the mossy pilings and rocks...June 30, 2008
