SUMMER IS GOING BY TOO FAST!

We starting to harvest some wonderful "stuff" from the garden; tomatoes, peppers, grapes, peaches, etc.
 So good, we love the garden and all the great produce we grow.... oh! peach pies!

Love spending time together for this month that we have her here, then it's back to Scotland / YWAM and continuing with her missionary work and walk with God.

Tom surprised me with tickets, and this was the most amazing concert ever!!!!  Great show, Paul McCartney played for about 3 hrs, never missed a lyric and a beat, sounded amazing......so fun!

Out with 2013... in with 2014 - Happy New Year!

Christmas has come and gone and now for the start of 2014... wow, this past year has gone by quick.  The holidays were great, although daughter, Rachel, didn't make it home for the 1st time ever, but they grow and spread their wings.  I'm so very lucky to have the boys and their families close by and see them often.  Had a great time with the 5 grandkids!

Life has taken some busy changes in the last quarter of 2013.  I find myself working for wonderful people in the dental office of Psomas, Bourekis, and Warnica, DDS, and for Optimal Healthcare - new family practice clinic here in Spokane Valley, plus a few of my regular clients I've had for a number of  years now.  Busy?  Just a bit, but I love it and really enjoy the group of people I'm working with.
P,B W Christmas Party-great fun!

We had such a great time visiting Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands;  great beaches and great food.  Tom and I wondered the antigue stores and loved riding the WA Ferries.  This was taken at Washington Park in Anacortes, WA.

Winter's about to let loose..

Concrete leaves for my pond
Okay, the leaves are raked, beets dug, squash tucked away , and hoses drained. I've finished another fun project outside by adding concrete leaves I made to the pond.
Tom's checked out the snow blower and has it ready... I think were ready for the first snow fall that's supposed to happen tonight & tomorrow.   I'm busy getting geared up for Tax season, reading new tax laws and studying on new regs--- so fun!.  This tax season may be a challenge with some many pending changes but one line item at a time... one return at a time.

building arbors-- a favorite hobby
Another project was the continued project of grape arbors.... our vines produced a really nice crop of seedless white grapes and dark purple grapes-- very good!.
By the end of the season, the vines were all the way across the  front of the Shop.
