PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON

I love this area when I visit my son in Oalla which is on my mind today because if masks are required on flights - I won't be able to go there in the foreseeable future.  I can hardly keep a mask on for 10 minutes in a store before I have to get out to breathe fresh air. 

Anyway, a couple photos of the area that I've never posted before.

Port Orchard is where we go to get on the ferry to go to Seattle which is a beautiful ride in itself, much better than the freeway.  I love what I've seen of the state of Washington and would so love to have about a month there to see it all. 

When the tide goes out like the photo below, is when the grandkids go look for small crabs.

A NEW CATEGORY - FRIDAY FRONT PORCH DAY

I know there are so many different categories for different days of the week in Blogworld and social media platforms.

I think I'll create my own for each day of the week.  Since I love front porches and use to post them here quite a bit , I will choose Friday for Front Porch Day. 

i like the look of an enclosed front porch so I like this one however, I would have more trees around the house. 

i love the side view -

Saturday  -  I'm figuring out still how to categorize it for a post.    Suburban, Saturday, Sacred, Savory, Sinister - ...and then there is Sunday  ..

Weekend is upon us again...any plans?

TODAY ITS ABOUT FAMILY TIME

Okay - well it was a long time ago and I'm missing these kids when they were little.  Three of them we had at the house quite often  - because we babysat them several times a week.  The little girl in the pink dress, my niece, it was always fun when she got to visit which wasn't that often but the kids all got along together. 

I came across these photos and figured I'd put them up again so when I look back at my 2020 blog posts I'll be reminded again of this particular day.

The girls were sitting alone on the futon which we had on the front porch while doing renovations inside.  Pretty soon their boy cousins came.   The little guy in the red shirt, Cayden,  looked more like he was ready for a nap not dancing.   I don't know how it all evolved but I guess I had music playing inside in the living room and they got up and danced. 

BIG BEAR LAKE

ON THE WAY BACK HOME YESTERDAY

We were off mountain to do some shopping and hang out in some areas we like, such as Redlands, Beaumont,, etc.  The sky was amazing.

The Spanish Broom  .. the yellow blooming plants are looking beautiful this May.  The will be in bloom until probably end of June or so but it makes for a beautiful drive coming back up the mountains on hwy 330.  We usually take the 18 to come up but during Spanish broom blooming season I have to take this route at least once or twice a year.
