Gangus and the Whaler

This week we had a couple of adventures worth mentioning. The other night J, my mom and I went to dinner at one of the houses that J built. He has become friends with the buyers and they had us over for a bbq. The picture is of their darling 18 month old and their dog Gangus. This little girl was so cute and so smart and she loves her doggy. Her dog, on the other hand, loved me and spent the entire evening trying to have sex with my leg. They said that this is fairly common for Gangus but they had never seen him want it this bad. Great, apparently I could ride off into the sunset with any golden retriever of my choice! It got so bad that when I took my shoes off he started licking them. Okay Gangus, now you're just getting creepy.
Yesterday, N was nice enough to take me with her on her first crabbing adventure of the season. This was also the first time taking the Whaler out of the season. At first, it didn't want to start. Of course, all we had to do was ask a guy if he could help us and then as soon as he was there, it started. How Rude! We had a great time out on the open water of Edmonds. We dropped two traps which were baited with roasted chicken and then took a little cruise around. Later in the evening, N went back with C and her brood and pulled the traps up. They got 11 total but only 5 males. That was okay because only N had a crabbing license. Hopefully there will be more adventures to come over the summer.

New Cruisers

Today we went to Camping World and got our new cruisers. They are folding bikes that are going to fit nicely in the bottom of Grover, the Traveling Rover, aka the RV. We even tested them out tonight with The Bandit running next to them. He wasn't too keen on that but didn't seem to mind too much when J picked him up and held him. We will have to figure out some sort of basket system. I have to say I felt like a kid again riding around the neighborhood. Good times! Don't worry, we took the price tags off before we rode them around!

Baby Erickson

The big news is that the filthy animal and Tailgate Tiff are expecting their first child. Technically, it is not my big news but I wanted to post it anyway. I had to wait so that they could tell people personally because believe or not, a couple of them read my blog! She is due February 8th which makes her almost 11 weeks along. When they find out the sex, I will let you know. On another note, J & T had their baby girl Baillie a couple of weeks ago and she is healthy and adorable. I will go and see her again once I am sure that the sore throat is only allergies and I am 100% healthy.

Exciting News To Come.....

I know I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would just drop a quick line for the 2 people who still read my blog! We found out some exciting news the other day but I haven't been released to record (real estate terms)! When I get the green light, I will give you the scoop!
