The kiln is in the middle on the hill, and the white area that looks over exposed is lime.

Tom (in the middle) is telling how you can tell which Pod is which, and how he knows which orcas are male and female.

We climbed up here to watch a pod of whales swim by. They were too far out to get a good pic, but we saw them!

BBQing in the backyard


Anniversary Week 002, originally uploaded by msteechur.

Today was our 22nd Anniversary. For our day we ate breakfast out on our back porch under the gazebo. Later on we walked in the POURING rain to go to lunch. The rain let up long enough for us to bbq steaks and corn on the fire in the backyard (I love our firepit)..and then we went to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Tulalip Amphitheater! It was an awesome day (although I was still dealing with the aftermath of pancreatitis).
