Little Bean on Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles.

Cassidy loves being on her father's shoulders! We took the ferry to Seattle to hang out and see the Spadaccini's off. It was beautiful but windy and freezing! LA and sun sounds pretty darn good right now........We miss you guys and so wish we lived closer!!!

Nonnie with her favorite Christmas gift........the wonderful, beautiful Spadaccini clan! Karen and Lou's shop, Simply Italian, is doing wonderfully and we are so happy for them and proud of them! Even in this hard economy they are making a success of Karen's delicous food!!! Please keep them in your prayers because it really is hard work and alot of hours! They're living their dream.........God bless!!!!!!

ONE....TWO.....THREE.......WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! At the pier in Port Angeles we caught some fresh air! These three girls play so wonderfully together despite the age differences. We sure can learn alot from children, can't we???? Amen!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! The cuzzies were making Christmas cookies at Nonnies on this day! Lou, Karen, Jenna & Camryn along with our good friend, Sherry, all came up for 4 days for Christmas! We had a blast with them and they arrived at the perfect time between storms to enjoy a beautiful, white Christmas! What a joy to have them here! The girls had SO much fun playing and sledding in the snow and building a snow-woman.

Princess Cassidy on Halloween. We took her trick-or-treating in Port Townsend this year. It was entertaining there.......more for the adults with lots of freaks out!! Ha ha......we'll stick to Sequim or Port Angeles next year!

The interior of our house is finally done......with a few minor exceptions! I just created a blog for it and I'm listing it on the net........trying to sell it ourselves first because we need the money! (Who doesn't, right????) Check it out at secretsequimgarden.blogspot.com.......It's also connected to this blog under my profile.

Cassidy's favorite toy! Her cuzzie, Kevin, gave this to her. She was scared of it at first, but now she loves wizzing all around the property on it! Too cool! Thank you so much Kevin, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sherry!

CRASHOLA!!!

I had a really horrible view from my booth........hahaha!!!

This is Cassidy and Nonnie shaking their booties to the music! There were three different bands playing throughout the day and six vendors in this outside tent. The house had 7 vendors and there were three of us plus the wine vendor on the front porch. What a great day!

My little shop on the front porch..........I didn't make a killing, but I am getting my work and my name out there........it's all good! I had a blast with my girlfriends and met lots of nice & interesting people all day........now that's a decent day at the office!

Saturday, Sept. 13th we had the first annual Opulent Art Show at this gorgeous place........the cutting garden. It was an awesome day and went really well......especially for a first time event! The weather couldn't have been better, the music was great, we had lots of non-stop traffic and the wine was flowing! We're already getting ready for next years event because it looks like it's gonna be BIG! Cool stuff!!!!

Casey wrestles with the girlies...........nothing like hearing little girls giggle!

Girlfriends Rule!! Too cool seeing these little girls together!

Cassidy meets the twins! These cuties are Harley and Reese. They are the daughter's of two dear friends from high school, Joey and Wendy. We had the great pleasure of hanging out with Wendy, Casey and Patty this night...........eating pizza and veggies from their garden and watching our girls play together! It was wonderful........(except that Joey was working out of town that night!) I wish we lived near these guys.........it was a joy seeing them and watching Wendy be a mom. She is an amazing mom!!!!!

Cassidy meets my dear friend Pretty Patty and her turtle that lives happily in her pool! It was such a joy to see them together.........I haven't lived near Patty for years, but she is always one of the dearest people in my heart! I love you!!!!

A blast from the past.............this brought back lots of happy memories!!!! Cassidy and I stopped in Ukiah on the way home for a few nights. Here she is playing at the huge city park that I used to play in! This was my favorite too........climbing on the wall that surrounds the beautiful park! Too cool!

Just like mama, Cassidy loves playing with the flowers! She helped me make some arrangements for the big party!

Happy 70th Birthday Papa! Cassidy, Bobus and I traveled to Santa Rosa, Ca. for Jon's 70th birthday bash! We had a really wonderful visit there and the party was great! There were lots of stories about all the wonderful, generous things Jon has done for people helping them to get into their first homes, etc.........It was great to see friends of mom and Jon's that I hadn't seen in years. It was especially wonderful to spend time with Jon's babies........Holly, Scott and Greg.....and to see Cassidy with them and with her cuzzies and Auntie Willis and Nana Berta. It went far too quickly but we are SO happy that we made the trip!
