Old Friends and New ones

It has been a busy two weeks.  Nice to see old friends and new ones.  Charlie and Dianne from Dreamtime were here and Colyn and Connie on Seajay arrived on the same day.  Had a wonderful night on the deck with Charlie singing his songs from his CD.  A good time was had by all.

Mama and cubs are still around.  She goes up to the head of the estuary once in a while.  Just when I think she is gone, she pops up again on the other side.  I chased away a male grizzly out of the yard last Friday.  As usual, these things happen when George is gone for the day. He had taken Doug to town.  It is quite unusal to have grizzlies here.  I even had one in the yard yesterday, but it went across the estuary as I was walking up to the house.  We still have the big black and there was even a small black with two cubs the other day.  As long as they stay across on the other side I do not mind.  It makes for a good attraction and conversation item.

The restaurant has been open for two weeks now and has been quite busy.  The "new" fish and chips has been quite popular and so has the 14" pizza. WE LOVE our new deep fryer!! but it sounds like a jet engine when it starts, lol. Cinnamon buns have been flying off the shelf!  Colyn and Connie gave us a nice picture with 5 red shoes.  Guess they get 5 desserts now!!

Soon Mother Mary will be here and we are really looking forward to her visit.  I know Colyn and Connie are looking forward to seeing her as well.

Will try to mow the grass today and a little bit has been done everyday.  We take the tractor back and forth to the house and as we go we mow.  We need to get a small golf cart or gator for our travels back and forth.  Our legs and feet appreciate it.  I guess when mom is here we will have to put a blanket in the wagon for her!

The garden has sprouted and things are agrowing.  The hummingbirds are aplenty and we only feed them once a day.
