The church was built in 1860 - 61 and was built by my great-great-grandfather, Samuel Churchill. If you had turned around you would have seen the Churchill plot.

this stretch of my route was on a "dirt" road now

Beautiful pix ladies.....another old one of Gravy today. She was young and chipper in this one. My ol' girl is slowing down a little more each day. She is such an endearing cat.....

Gorgeous portrait of Gravy! And Barbara, how cool is that??? A genealogist's dream......

Here's the Mother of All Docks, built by my sort-of-son-in-law (SOSIL?) at their house this summer:

A local bar, from the inside.

The last day of our backpacking trip, heading out.

Beautiful pics.
So, Jodi, the bar's name is Groof?

This is Bud, who loves being up high. He loves laying on top of the dresser mirror as well.

Barbara, small world!

A Monarch on a Heliopsis.....(blurry, but he wouldn't hold his wings still!)

Joan, no, :-) it's a martini bar that goes by the name Proof.

I thought it was Groof too.

Wonderful pics, esp. the kitties! Here's Allie being silly. She wiggles around on her back a lot, just seems to enjoy it.She was a little thinner when this was taken, lol.

Bud likes spending time on his back, too Bigack!
Silly nut, every time I go to pet him on his head he immediately turns around to get his butt scratched.....his back at the base of his tail. His butt is in the air and you can scratch him forever on his back. What a goof.

Ok, here is the Proof sign flipped so you can more easily see the lettering. It reads a lot more like a "P" when you see it the right way, at least to me.

Here's George, with our solution to him wanting to be held and me wanting to type.

Alfie is content to just lie on my desk.

Donna, I have seen that picture of George before and it makes me laugh everytime. George looks like he is grinning from ear to ear with contentment.
Thanks for a good laugh.

And, Donna, who's the paperweight on the shelf?

LOL Kat!

I was born in Seattle and I so miss crab apples and rhododendrons. The house I lived in (View Ridge/Sand Point area) had a pretty pink cherry tree in the front yard.

Shore birds....Pismo Beach, CA

That paperweight is Alfie. He's lovable in his own way, but doesn't much care to be held.
