Hood Canal Weekend

We went out to Hood Canal this weekend with Momo and Papa; Jeff, Anneli and Martina. Everyone had a great time. We ate lots of clams, some oysters and mussels as well.

Alayne's Custom Jewelry

Most of you know how creative Alayne is, and for those of you who don't know this you will soon find out. For the past 9 months Alayne has been making custom jewelry for friends and family. As her customer base continues to grow I realized that we had not mentioned her business/website on this webstie.

I have added a link to the left that will take you to her site or you can click on the link below.

A weekend at the canal...

We were out at the canal a few weeks ago where we did some shrimping. This was the first year that we've had a "incident free" shrimping weekend. If you know Tom Degan or myself you know that when it comes to boats and shrimping we tend to have our problems. Well this year it went great! Praise God! We even got a ton of Shrimp! Of course the next weekend we went back out with some family, including our dads and did very poorly.

Guess it pays to go out opening weekend.
