My niece Tamar is now over 4 months old. She is well mannered with little crying and annoyingness. Maybe it’s because my sister is on top of the mom job. Here is a recent photo: In other news, my brother-in-law came over with a chainsaw and we cut the tree downed by the tree service…

Snow on the Plateau!
Last night we got 2+ inches of snow at my house in Sammamish. It doesn’t snow often, so I grabbed some photos as it was coming down: Sammamish Snow! Snow coating the trees A beautiful night as the snow came down. The snow fell heavily at times.
Holiday Dinner
Yesterday my mom and I drove over to my sister Karen’s house in Maple Valley for a holiday dinner. Her husband cooked a great meal, featuring some tasty duck and the desserts were also excellent. I especially liked my sister’s apple crisp, mmmmm…. I enjoyed seeing my niece Tamar, who is now over 4 months…
Stevens Pass
Yesterday I skied Stevens Pass and it was great. The snow conditions were good and the weather was fantastic with sunny skies for most of the day and no wind. The best part about the day was the fact that there were no lift lines. I was able to ski to my hearts content and…
Yard Work
Today I worked in the garden until it started to rain hard at 4 pm. I was able to prune the wisteria, the cherry blossom trees, and begin the work on the fruit trees. I also gathered some branches and cut up usable pieces for firewood. Tomorrow is still looking like a nice day and…

Fallen Tree Photos

Windstorm Clean-up
The 2006 windstorm has had some major impacts, especially here on the eastside. Finding gas and perishable foods was a challenge for several days. However, things are generally getting back to normal around here as more neighborhoods and businesses regain electricity. We finally got our power back in Sammamish after four days and some very…
Seattle Windstorm 2006
Common sight in communities on the eastside of Seattle after the windstorm last night. Photo Kevin Tighe. Yet again, Western Washington has been slammed by inclement weather. In the past month, the region has been dealt (1) devastating floods (November was the wettest month EVER on record); (2) a snow and ice storm with record…
