Lonely Santa

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is watching young kids with Santa.  Pioneer Place seems to have started a bit too early this year. He was a lonely Santa.

This Big

Ian and Lynn had a good time fishing this weekend. They both caught steelhead.  I asked how big the fish were.

Guiding Tiger

John and Amy guided Tiger Woods on the Deschutes, and this photo is hanging in their shop.

With Paulette and Paula

Had a nice visit with Paulette in Michigan and got to see Paula who just got back from seeing her family in the Netherlands.

Filming of The Angriest Man in Brooklyn

On a long walk around Brooklyn with Molly, we ran into this filming.  We are guessing these are stand-ins filling in for Mila Kunis and Robin Williams.

The Gallery

Went shopping today for frame of the photos taken by the professional photographer.

Doggy still in the window

Not so happy to be left at home

Ian spotted this dog as we neared the fair.  He wasn't happy to be left alone.

Mississippi Street Fair

This was our first time at the Mississippi Street Fair, and the first time we saw dancing Ranier beer.  From this photo you can't tell 30,000 people attend this fair.  

Happened by these flowers on our walk today

Looking out from the deck to see this beautiful moon

Fireworks from the deck

There were about six legal sets of fireworks we could see from our deck.  Also had plenty of the illegal ones from our neighbors.

A couple of the fancy houses along the way

More per night

The water taxi guy told us that while sailboats pay $35 per night, yachts like this are charged about $850 a night.

A day on the water taxi

With Edna's endorsement,  I spent my vacation day on the water taxi.
