Sunshine. Side tack alert...I am in your old neck of the woods. You can see pix on our B&B Facebook page. Sending this from gig harbor fivebucks... Went to port orchard, Bremerton and silver dale yesterday. Halibut and chips, teriyaki...two things this area does well.
also got a few photos before the rain hit, it is misty and raining today as well. So my photos for my youngest who was born here will be rainy drizzly wet, we tell her she has webbed feet!
Willowpond, I took some pix on fox island this morning, thinking of you. Tried to find some sea glass, but got rained on and so damp that I settled for barnacles on some rocks to bring home.
Nearly got chewed to bits by pit bulls at our old house, nearly. I forgot that they are everywhere up here!
ate some blackberries.
forgot how Nordic everyone is on the peninsula, and so young and either metro or flannel/grunge the guys are here. Haha
of course this area is boom town, and so crowded now, Costco, kohls, hospital, etc here I the harbor. Traffic and people, I am such a small town girl now.
Port orchard is now 12,870 population. Was 4000 when we lived there. The house we built has moss on the roof. Standard drill.
I did miss the smell of low tide I the Sinclair inlet...salty algae smell, totally forgot about that. But...there are virtually no ways to access it, all private beaches and roped off w warning signs. I think every piece of seaglass and sea star I have in my old pix were the girls and I sneaking onto a beach at low tide!
caught a photo of the Bremerton to Seattle ferry, was going to go on today, but don' t need to see nothing in the rain!may have caught a glimpse of an orca though...
Forgot the extreme diff in southern friendliness vs pacnw, it really is a large diff. I had some guy at the car rental at seatac whistling to me....no not hey you blond type of whistle... Whistle whistle hey hey...hey you! He yelled. I finally turned and said "are you speaking to me?" I am used to people say "excuse me, ma'am..." Not being whistled at,hey you!"
i don't have everyone's email, so please consider this my update. And sidetrack,sorry. Ps it is 52 degrees high midday. I have a coat, and scarf on..
