Dan had a blast fishing up in Canada, this was the biggest Trout that he caught, 3lbs.
Dan has been going on his fishing trips for at least 25 yrs near Kamloops B.C. 

Dan went on his yearly fishing trip with the guys Sept 9-14th so I wanted to be close to the Puyallup fair in Puyallup WA. I was also close to my storage unit and went in and rearranged stuff and pitched a bunch of stuff. Thought I put a dent in the unit but then looked closer and looked like I didn't..pout! I do have my aisle back so I can work in there. Dan and I will be loading up a bunch of stuff and take it down to Yuma to use on the property or to sell in the Spring in our first yard sale.

We will either pitch or bring more down to the Yuma property when the casita is built. Alot of our storage things are Holiday decorations and Craft supplies. Things that can not go into the metal shed in the Summer because it is way too hot. 

Master Crafter

This is my Mom Dotty Cooper, Dotty loves to be busy doing some kind of crafts and has fallen in love working with Gourds and weaving baskets . Mom went to a Indian village to learn how to weave from the Indians.
Her home is filled with lots of things she has crafted. I keep telling her she needs them in a gallery and sell some because they are so beautiful! 

Musical instruments made from Gourds and beads

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!!

I had a great time with family for my birthday weekend, went out to dinner with family up at the mall so we all got to eat what we wanted on Sat Sept 2nd. Found the hard to find game Racko too across from where we were sitting, I had some Italian food. Sun Sept 3rd Mom & Dad took us out to Grazies in Factoria Square for Italian....Yum! Monday Sept 4th my official birthday Dan took me out to Mexican dinner at La Fogata in Snoqualmie, had fun practicing our Spanish for our upcoming trip in Feb. They put a candle in my Tres Leches ( 3 kinds of milk ) cake. Nice not having to cook all weekend....Smile. Enjoyed getting Birthday greeting phone calls from friends, family and all the kids and Granddaughter Jordan.
