DETAILS!!

The details are coming together!!!

Coonie's been shopping.

The bar is stocked, orders being placed.

I LOVE a beach party!!!!! It's been too long.  

We only have nine more pages of planning..........

Love the latest round of photos. Glorious sunsets!!

Wouldn't it be awesome if we heard from some of the ol' timers!

(p.s. Coonie, I wanna borrow that polka-dot skirt for my fall rounds of events.)

Can't forget the servers for the party!

faithandfifty

ooooooooooooooooooooKKKKKKKKKKK

how do we manage when your computer gets clunked up??

of course we need service...............

we also need to look for sufficient life guards, to keep us safe

i think some massage certified attendants are also in order!!!!

and someone to hand out heated towels, of course, we need heated towels

mumito

YES those servers are welcome at my bar anytime.

Yahhooo I just found out that I am off to Holguin cuba tomorrow so  when we have our party I will be on a real beach.This one.

This does not look good for winter

konakat

I love those fuzzy wuzzy catepillars!!!

chabba

Sunrise on the bay.

Edited to add: That's Mt Rainer in the background.

SoCalLisa

Chabba,,waiti a minute, what does that mean??

I mean I have no clue whatsoever...

About the catterpillar

I love the picutre of the Bay

We have friends in Sequim and Port Ludlow...

Neat part of the world!!!

chabba

That is a woolly bear caterpillar.The wider the central orange band the longer the winter is supposed to be.  That band is usually 1/2 to 1" wide.

SoCalLisa

So how many inches is that now??

I have no way to visualize the size..

chabba

I don't know what I was thinking--thr woolly bear is usually 1 1/2 to 2 inches.  the orange band is usually 1/4th to 3/8th.  If that is a 1 1/2 inch bear the stripe looks 1/2".  Sorry my head is foggy tonight.

SoCalLisa

Nobody told the roses it is autumn

SERIOUSLY, Lisa, that is an award winning shot above all others.

The background, the composition........... it's like a sherbet swirl delicacy.

We're packing up. Imagine that.

Today is "close-the-place-up-for-the-winter" which is so difficult to do during a week of perfectly gorgous weather. Seriously beautiful in every way.

Wish it was raining like crazy, then I'd be motivated to start heading south.

xx00xx00xx00xx

SoCalLisa

It is rainy here Faith, does that help?

faithandfifty

yes, i'll borrow some rainclouds/overcast/gloomy skies from anyone with extra

the entire time we've been up here this month it has been GLORIOUS..............

the forcast is for several more days of unseasonably gorgous days, crisp nights

we'll be on the road bright and early.

Lisa, I honestly think that shot should be entered into a contest!!!!

xx00xx00xx

SoCalLisa

thanks faith...I just take them for my own fun

Eph3_12

I agree with Faith, Lisa.  And Chabba-love yours too!

chabba

Here is another.

BarbaraA

Here's another cool one. This was taken the night hurricane Jeanne blasted through where I lived and was gone.

SoCalLisa

there has to be a beach close by..

SoCalLisa

If you look closely, you can see the people at the beach here..

SoCalLisa

sooner or later this stream meets the ocean

SoCalLisa

Maybe here
