This last week I was in Portland working on my grandmother's humungous yard! My cousin came to help and after three days working eight hours a day we got it finished! Looks pretty good, huh? After that I like my small yard just fine.
Isn't her house cute? My grandparents had it built in 1950. Good memories for me there!
Is this not the most beautiful Hydrangea? They are very vibrant and colorful.
We brought my grandmother home for a few hours to have dinner in her beautiful backyard. She had a great time and I think it was really nice for her to be home for a bit. She loved the yard too! Her foster care is three blocks from her house, so we can just wheel her home. I think she looks really good.
The day after I cam back from Portland Ian and I had a little getaway to Alderbrook Resort in Hood Canal. We had a lovely time and met some friends from Las Vegas. Judy is the daughter of Irene who used to be my babysitter when I was young. I spent a lot of weekends with their family!
Here is the dock at sunset. It is a wonderful place and there is a lot to do or do nothing at all. Very kid and dog friendly too! And no weight restrictions...on dogs that is.
Here is a typical Seattle skyline picture with a ferry in front!
