My goodness, what a day it was! One of my students informed me he made a very good Mexican “mole”. That was what I wanted to serve for the son-in-law’s birthday dinner. I had no idea what all was involved. We started at 10 after he stopped at the Mexican store to buy the chilies. Then it was off to buy fresh chicken, corn tortillas, a plaintain banana, chipolte, tomatoes, onion, and cloves. We stopped off to borrow a pot from my daughter…none of mine were the right size…and at one point he had to go back to his house to get his blender…mine was puny in comparision. He also brought back a special pot to make the rice. We finally sat down at 3:30 with dinner to be served at 5. Was it worth it…oh, yes! Even if we did have to wash all those pots. I had every intention of visiting my friends blogs today, but did I mention those pots…they all needed washing….some more than once.

Missing Something? Repost
Here is my story… the boots fell out of someone’s truck. A kind hiker found them in the parking lot and hung them on the tree in case someone came back looking for them.
What’s your version?
PS. Today is my son-in-law’s 30th birthday. Not everyone can claim to have a perfect son-in-law, but 99% of the time…mine is A+ perfect.
Not Today, Thank You – Repost
There are picnic tables with a view of the water, tables with shelter from the wind, and those close to the playground. For me, not today, thank you!
The Trail at DWR – Repost
Photo by the best neighbor, SC.
The trail at the refuge is snow covered at the moment. Yet, at any time the park is open you will find people and their dogs taking a hike. it’s the perfect place to go with views of large and small ships. On a good day you can see Port Angeles, and one of my favorite places to visit, Victoria. I’ve broken the rules today to show you two pictures; the first one on an overcast day and the second, almost in the same place but facing the other direction, bathed in sunshine.
Dungeness Wildlife Refuge – Repost
Just down the road a piece is one of my favorite places to go just about any time of the year. The sunsets here can be spectacular. When my neighbor sent me a wonderful picture she took last weekend, I drug out the “slip over your shoes” spiky things to help me keep from slipping and falling and took a walk. Over the next few days I will offer you some delightful sights of a small part of the lovely “Dungeness Wildlife Refuge”.
Get Out Your Ice Skates! Repost
There are several ponds along Kitchen-Dick Road on the way to the wildlife refuge. It’s not uncommon to drive by and see different varieties of waterfowl swimming. For the last couple of days, the ducks should have had ice skates!
Downed Tree – Repost
This beauty did not come down in the last storm. It has been laying on it’s side for a couple of months, but it represents what has happened all over our county. The newpaper last Thursday that those who use wood for heat, could apply to cut up to 6 cords of wood free from designated areas in Clallam and Jefferson Country.
