Lunch at the Brothers’ House

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe recently opened The House of Seven Brothers, a new restaurant in their Seven Cedars Casino in Blyn.

A friend and I figuratively had lunch there with the brothers the other day. The masks on the wall of the restaurant represent and honor seven brothers whose genealogy is part of the Tribe’s present day lineage.

The dining room was remodeled from a previous buffet restaurant and enlarged with space from a former gift shop. As with other Tribal enterprises this one is nicely done and very attractive.

An open kitchen stands at the back of the restaurant. Based on our lunches, it produces tasty food. The new restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Take a bow

You don’t always see the architect and builder make an appearance on a web. This one made a shy appearance.

Return to slippin’ and slidin’

A couple of weeks ago the exit side of the road through this lookout at the Dungeness Recreation Area was blocked. When we arrived the other day the whole pullout was blocked, as you can see here. This is the entrance.

Erosion at this part of the bluff has picked up since I last showed it to you in June. It’s worth a look for comparison; the change is dramatic.

The fence post I showed you last month is now hanging freely in space. It was very windy when I took this shot yesterday. The fence blew back and forth like a wooden flag.

Black and white or color?

I first edited this photo in color. Then I tried it in black and white. You can see both versions.

Which do you like?

Tiny green frog

These little guys are more common around here this time of year. I think it is a Washington green treefrog. It’s not much bigger than a walnut. I’m not usually drawn to green animals but this one seems pretty cute to me.

Sweet Spot Preservation Society

Several of us civic minded citizens have formed a new ad hoc committee dedicated to the support and preservation of small business in Sequim. We are facing the closing of my favorite crafting store, Doodlebugs, as it caves from the pressure of internet and big box competition (more on that when I’m strong enough to take farewell photos). Though it hardly seems at risk, we want to avoid a similar fate for another favorite, our new frozen yogurt store, Sweet Spot. Thus the first official inaugural meeting of the Sweet Spot Preservation Society. I nominated myself the recording secretary. My first report is shown above. We’re considering weekly meetings convened around favorite flavors. And perhaps we’ll bring our book club here. It’s the least that civic minded, selfless, yogurt-loving people can do.
