It's almost complete...a few details are being added to the ceiling.
I absolutely love it. This range is a dream come true. It cooks and bakes beautifully. And it is gorgeous. I totally get men now and there cars ~ keepin' them washed and shiny. 
with the speed of lightning...

Handsome Ricky J
Fearless Porter
(Shark, Shark, Shark, shark, shark, shark...)
Thanks Matt & Kim for a great weekend!
Sorry this is sideways...watch as Rick tosses Hot Tamales to Porter, which he skillfully catches in his mouth. Yes, great skill, balance, and controll is involved. Hillarious.
Aaaah, the misty weather of the Pacific Northwest.
Where blue skies are never taken for granted.
Home.
Molly & Tyler decide to go down to the pond to feed the ducks.
The baby ducks are getting so big and are so happy to be fed.
What should we do with this last piece?
Let's eat it!
All done!
Quakin' like a duck.
Molly & Tyler were watering the flowers, but then...
Tyler found an umbrella so lets pretend it's raining.
and rain it did.
and rain...
even from the ground up?!
Everyone is drenched.
and loving it
fun was had by all
silly kids
they even got Brittany wet.

We drove 2 hours north and arrived at the Anacortes Ferry at 6:45 in the morning!
In route through the San Juan Islands we were lucky enough to spot a pod of orcas. The captain slowed the boat down so all could enjoy this amazing site.
Mr. Johnson, all tuckered out from the long journey, took a much needed rest.
Landing at Orcas Island to let a few cars on.
A dream home in the Straight of Juan de Fuca. Currently not for sale. Had it been, and money was no issue, a fight may have broken out. 
Arriving at Butchart Gardens! What an amazing undertaking. Mrs. Butchart really had a vision to create such a beautiful setting from a stripped down lime quarry.
Mr. & Mrs. Walker enjoying the grounds. Given a crew to command she could rival this one. Her personal flower and culinary gardens are amazing.
One of the many amazing totem poles in the garden -
even some impromtu versions!
This beautiful tree was in bloom in the rose garden. 
Umbrella rose tree.
A lone man in the garden of eden...
and then he found Eve and he was soooo happy!
Forget me nots and red tulips - one of my favorite color combinations.
A view through the Japanese Garden to the harbor. Can't you just imagine living here?
We enjoyed gellato here in the gardens of the home.
Brenda and Lori by the indoor gardens.
The view of the harbor from our room.
Dave, enjoying a morning stroll before we heading out to catch the ferry home. But wait, there's more to this vacation!
