Mike has the surround built & is working on the trim!
It's looking so nice now, and the surround helps
keep the noise level down too....bonus!

Some of the tribal preparations for the upcoming Paddle to Swinomish
Each summer, Tribal Canoes travel from their home territories to a common destination within the Coast Salish territory. This has been an annual tradtion for the last 20 years. The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community will host the end of journey events this year.
Paddle to Swinomish 2011
Monday July 25th to Sunday July 31st.
To read more about Paddle to Swinomish 2011 go to the official website http://paddletoswinomish.com/.
In preparation for this huge event there has been quite a lot of work going on across the channel from us.
First they cleared a huge beach for the canoes.
Then they began bringing in loads of sand.
Next began the construction of 3 buildings on the beach.
You get a look at the progression of the building process.....

To me they resemble the cedar hats
the coastal Salish people made.

You get a look at the progression of the building process.....it has been interesting to watch them come together!

morning moonlight
I woke up the other morning to a beautiful moon
shining over the rainbow bridge!
Good morning, moon!doing the laundry @ home!
This is the first time in a long time that I have been excited
about doing the laundry, but for the last 3 1/2 years I have
been going to the laundromat or to one of our girl's homes
to do our laundry. It has been a great blessing to spend time
with our girls while doing the laundry, but I'd rather just visit
with them and NOT be doing the laundry. Mike found this
little Italian washer/dryer all-in-one unit on Craigslist & has
installed it on our boat. Next step is building the cabinet surround to match the beadboard walls.
Mike has put it by the port door.
washer in action!
It's only taking a few inches from our closet space,
and once the surround is installed it will look nice
plus we will have a great shelf/shallow storage with lid
for gloves & hats on top. It is GREAT to be able to
do our laundry at home! Mike does a load a day!
