Undead
It’s that time of year again.
Eight!
Eight years of blogging today. My traditional blogiversary cupcake from That Takes the Cake. And the dazed realization that I’m still at it after all these years. How time flies when you’re having fun.
Veteran’s Day
Celebrating our armed services veterans today, and giving thanks for their service to our country. Freedom isn’t free. Thank you, one and all.
July 4th
This is Independence Day in the United States.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
If you’ve been out and about lately it’s hard to miss: Valentine’s Day. Safeway was all decked out and ready to go yesterday. Kristi, the floral manager, has outdone herself. She’s got your sweetie covered if you’re looking for a little something.
If flowers don’t do it, there are balloons and more balloons. And candy. And even little stuffed animals.
And if romance is not in the picture, head over to the produce department. Buy yourself an apple and congratulate yourself that you’re not overdoing it on chocolate.
Blyn ablaze
The tiny community of Blyn, located at the head of Sequim Bay, is the center of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, which owns the community and operates its tribal activities there. At this time each year the landscape is a breathtaking wonderland as miniature lights are tightly woven onto trees and shrubs along the highway and next to the tribe’s many enterprises.
We came through at dusk, before the full effect of the lights and colors could be seen. But you can get hint of what it’s like: truly stunning.
The lights are on both sides of Highway 101 and frame the tribe’s many enterprises, including a casino, gas station and convenience store, a community center, library, gift shop, totem carving shed, and other buildings that serve the tribe and its activities. It’s well worth seeing if you’re in the area.
