Meet “BMac’s Sloe Jin-Jin Fizzie”, or “Jin” as we call her. She enjoys camping trips, and here she found a stump to sit on at Deception Pass State Park. She’s a wild thing at 6 months old, and belongs to our daughter. For now, this is as close as I get to a grandchild!

We had a first yesterday, breakfast for a large group served outside! It was lovely weather fortunately, and we set up for 18 guests. We made breakfast burritos, with muffins, fruit & hashbrowns. Sue from Quimper Inn down the street, contributed the condiments, as part of the guests were staying at their Inn. It was loads of fun, and the guests were wonderful & happy!

We have lots of Bald Eagles in our area, and in the winter they love to perch in the cottonwood tree by the Inn. Isn’t he great?
