I love flowers! 

Here's Padraic, first he worked on my computer for many, many hours and then he cooked stir fry shrimp/leek dinner for us. What an awesome friend!!! 

Gordon and I picked blackberries yesterday. We made some black berry jello and tonight we are having a Black Berry Crumb Cake hope it turns out ok. I will let you know!!!! :) 

So big!!!!! Like Alaska flowers! 

This gorgeous flower was in Silverdale right by the Bead Shop! Had a good day with Padraic and Gordon 

Soft and cuddly!!! 

We loved looking at these Alpacas! 

Isn't he/she cute! 

YES! I got my computer back today. I am so happy.  

Here it is after midnight and my friend Padriac has just left. He has spent at least 10 hours trying to get me set up with HIS old laptop that he has let me borrow. So I can now do some posting on the my blog.

I have been having withdrawls but am better now. I still DO NOT have my laptop back, Best Buy is saying that I may get it next week. Here is what I learned during this ordeal.... DO NOT EVER buy extended warrinty's from a store, if you must buy one get it from the manufacter of your product.

To my sweet sister Jeannine always possitive and supportive I hope you and your friends will continue traveling with us on our life journey. Thanks for being so patient.

Thank you Padriac for being the best friend a person could have......Love, Laura

My new seashell bracelet I made after seeing Nancy. Thanks Nancy's!!!! Anyone want to order one? :)

Combat fishing north of Shelton, Washington this weekend. Last week we we suppose to do some Salmon fishing in Sekiu but the fishing was so bad we changed our minds. We are still hanging out here because as you well no I haven't gotten my computer yet.
 

After reading my hundreds of emails (most we just spam) I got this neat email from my cousin, Gus in Florida. Let's all do this...

www.letssaythanks.com

If you go to the website above you can pick out a thank you

card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that

is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but

it will go to some member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know

to send one!!!!

This is a great site.

Please send a card.

it is FREE and it will only take a few seconds.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them.

High Tea/Chocolate with my sweet girlfriends.

What is this?

As Gordon and I were driving along the Washington coast we saw this funny looking pontoon in the water. 

I am using a friends computer.. My computer is DOWN, DOWN, DOWN for at least 3 to 4 weeks. I am not a Happy Camper. The mother board is not working and needs replacing. I am glad I have a warrinty because this is a very expensive replace. I WILL NOT BE DOING TO MANY UPDATES UNTIL I GET MY LAPTOP BACK. Call me if you need to talk to us....510-566-4010 (Verizon) Laura

This is a airplane that landed on the water near the ferry we were on in Vancouver, BC. Wish we were on it. 

Gordon, Laurie Brown, Odel King, Cecil Oppi, Kit Carter, front row is me Nancy Carter and Kathy Oppi. This was us going over to Victoria in Canada. We were on the ferry here. It was a lovely day.

Your computer is sick!!!!

Yes, my computer is sick. I have to take it tomorrow to Best Buy where I have a extended warrinty. Hopefully I can have it back in a few days. So I will be out of touch for a few days but it could be up to a week. So call me if you want to talk.....Laura

Three Crabs!!!! huh!

This is the 3 crabs restaurant in Sequim. Elaine and Mel treated us to a nice dinner and a good time. 

Here is Kim showing off one of her Cher concert shirts. Great job! What fun these two women have flying around all over to attend these concerts. I wish I could go.... 

This is just one of the awesome shirts that Rhonda made for attending Cher's concerts. These awesome shirts are all hand made by Rhonda and Kim. They have attended many, many concerts. A lot of the pictures on this shirt they took themselves.  

Sequim, Washington

On the left is Rhonda, me, Mel, Elaine and Kim. We are at Elaine and Mel's home in Sequim, we are in their yard. We have know them for over 8 years. Rhonda is Elaines sister and Kim is Elaine's daughter. We have been waiting for years to meet these ladies and disappointed we were NOT. We spent the whole day talking about CHER yes there is only one Cher. Ronda and Kim have been to numerous Cher concerts. It was one of my most memorable days.
