Heather's Special Touches

August is winding down and the breathing room between guests allows for some much needed reflection. What a summer it has been! With all the accidents and calamities it would have been easy to just "pack it in" so to speak and just try to make it through.

Fortunately, our daughter, Heather, was with us this year. Her intended function was to use her culinary expertise to wow our guests with some special palate pleasing dining and delectable desserts. She did that and so much more. She picked up the slack when Abby and I couldn't do our part. From planting the garden to fishing for the Eagles to entertaining the guests ... she did it all. Of course, the wonderful chocolate desserts were my favorite part.

Over the course of the summer, Heather became quite the fisher woman. She caught pretty much everything the ocean has to offer in our area. One fish has eluded her so far, however, the Chinook Salmon. We hope to remedy that situation before she returns to her regular life in Portland. If we do, I'll be sure and post a picture of her catch.

Heather, Thank You for making this summer work.
