It’s soccer season in Sequim! I had the pleasure of watching two grandsons play this last weekend. As I was walking by this game, I took this picture and heard the coach question, “Do you remember those white lines I talked about? We need to keep the ball inside the white lines.” I questioned one of the moms about what the arrow was for….it helps the little ones remember which goal is theirs. Thank goodness for all the volunteer coaches who help kids learn to love this sport!

It’s true..and you can find him at Coneheads…and awesome icecream, mochas, lattes, calories….

They stand silently for an hour each time, dressed in black, holding peace signs, bearing silent witness to all those who have died as the result of conflict in the world. Sequim has it own group of women and I honor their commitment to peace.

There are very few of us who don’t remember where we were 5 years ago when the planes crashed in to the World Trade Center. This photo was taken at last Spring’s Irrigation Festival. In Sequim there are many days when the main avenue is lined with flags.

At Ft. Flagler there is a fenced in area with settling ponds. There were ducks, geese…and a goat. This big boy was understandably upset when another duck tried to horn in on his territory.

On our camping trip, Grandma (that would be me) wanted a bottle of wine with dinner. I drove back the 4 miles to Northlund, a spot in the road on Marstone Island. This sign struck my funnybone…it was the only store in town.

I recently took a camping trip with my granchildren at Ft. Flagler, WA. This is one of the sunsets over the water looking toward Port Townsend.
