European Visitors


We were excited to learn that our Belgian friends and former neighbors, Claude and Elizabeth, are planning to visit us in August! They are the people who we have been spending New Years the last years with in Normandy in their lovely mansion. We are very excited about the visit and this will be only the second time that our European friends have visited us at Samish Island (the first were Jean-Pierre and Marie-Paule last year. Tradition is that we ask our visitors to bring a flag of their country/state so that we can fly it on the flag pole overlooking the beach (fortunately for Claude, our previous Belgian visitors had already brought one).

As the dollar continues to tank against the Euro we hope more of our European visitors will be coming to the U.S.

Sue's Headboard







Well here is the finished project: a padded custom headboard encased in vertical grained fir wood for our bedroom (the accented blue wall color was also part of the project.) Sue thanks neighbor /friend Jerry Kenaston for some of his professional woodworking assistance. Now on to the next project, whose materials happen to have been delivered today.

Sue's finished prayer chair

Well here is the masterpiece that Sue finished last week. I now have the most expensive clothes hanger in the world. Be sure to tune in again soon as Sue's never ending projects continue to materialize.
