Our
House |
Just some fun shots from around the house, to give you an idea of what everyday life is like at our little beach home!
This one is taken during a very low tide, so we are looking upwards from an unusual perspective at our fun little beach house.
The neighboring houses are considerably more grandiose than ours (helps valuation, but hurts taxes!). Our neighbors are pleasant folks we do appreciate!

Again, the repainting job. We really liked the "custard" color. Notice the "old" light fixture, a ceiling fan / light combination.
Now, see the new chandelier, it's much nicer. Also there's a cat up where she's not supposed to be!
You can see the Christmas-decorated table.
Here's an overview picture, this one from a boat out on Commencement Bay.

Dave's Mom and Dad enjoying the easterly view from the deck and all the ship traffic.
This was taken last summer, notice the low-grade deck railing material! More recent pictures show the new improved replacement.
Daisy and a friend enjoying a swim on our gravelly beach.
We are in the head of a subtle but definite crescent-shaped "bay" so our beach gravel is finer-grained than at the points.
Sara's namesake is our first yacht! So far it is powered only by oars.
Dave has rowed across Commencement Bay a couple times--it takes about 45 minutes per one way crossing.
Friends!
