Gorgeous sunrise!!

It was yesterday (Saturday)...... I woke up to this beautiful sunrise! I grabbed my camera and went out on the deck for the picture.....and then yes, went back to bed! It was Saturday-!

Moving Day!...and closer....

Troy and Lisa have quite a crew helping them relocate to their beautiful new home. Amy A. lives nearby and brought delicious soup/salad/biscuits and dessert. The Huskies lost a heartbreaker this day but the move distracted the loyal fans a bit.....just a bit....:o(
I think perhaps chief "Wayne" (below)was giving some moving advice. (The kind he usually gives..sorry Wayne, couldn't resist)
"BATTLE IN SEATTLE"
Last week Terry and Justin went to the Battle in Seattle and watched Terry's former student quarterback a very good team, CWU (we both went there). He's standing right to the left of Terry in the "lit up" coat. He's Mike Reilly, may be headed for the pros, plus he's a very nice kid!!

Travis .....

Travie visits from Kansas for 2 days and little munchkin here informed him that that wasn't nearly "long enough" and "Kansas is in the middle of nowhere!" So we are working very hard at re-locating him!! We need him at all our family/friend parties. The girls(and the rest of us) let him know how much he is wanted up here! Auntie joins us at Suzanne's dinner.
Hamming it up with my glasses.


Isn't he the cutest? See post below, Monte and Ginny's "Tuffy". Yep, that's his belly resting on the carpet.

A visit "back home"..........

The Braves!
13 years ago, we spent a lot of time on these bleachers with these same wonderful friends. Last wkend, it was a beautiful, crisp fall football evening. It didn't seem that long ago that we watched Justin(and our friends' sons!) play for the Braves and Janae singing the National anthem on this field. When Justin played('94) it was the last year before turf. I saw Justin's entire senior year through the lens of a video camera.
Cheering them on last Fri. night were the Rathbuns(Kirk and Kelly-Monte and Ginny), Myers,Mussers, Berglins, Flippos, and John Sherling. Jake Musser (Boise)popped in (he and Terry are buddies), and it was so nice to see him.
It was great fun and brought back fond memories of our football days. John and Arden joined us back then (they were out of town). We had sausage roasts in our backyards after the games. Very good times that remind us of our good friends "back home".
P.S. They won..again....in the last 26 seconds!
Monte and Ginny hosted a wonderful "brunch" and us all weekend!! Wonderful hosts for sure!!
Who's this good-looking pair? They are going to Guam with us next year and we were pretty excited talking about that trip!
We see our wonderful former neighbors, David and Joanne. Across the street, Toro RD looked pretty much the same. We realized again how much lawn we had!!

...Alaska, a few more ....

Tim picks Justin, Terry and Dave up in Anchorage in his Pilatus airplane.
I had to add a few more. These are from Justin's and Dave's site. You can access Dave's website from Justin's(just click on his site on the right). Dave was able to put quite a few on his.
Great landing shot in Tim's Beaver, a float plane.

Hmmm, do we trust the crew?

Newhalem River flows into Lake Illiamna. Tim's flying service is here. It is Alaska's largest lake, only 2 lakes in the world have freshwater seals, Lake Baikal (Russia) and Lake Illiamna!
Terry enjoyed the copilot seat in the Pilatus.

Fly fishing is productive in Alaska! Terry caught a lot of grayling. He loves fishing and Alaska didn't disappoint!
