Tuffy gets a drink from the rain bowl.

Tuffy is the neighbors cat

He is friends with my cat, The Puddha.

Sounds like a good book, huh?

Tuffy and The Puddha...

This was not the best shot. 

Tuffy had had both feet in the pot, 

but as I tried to capture that one

 he got a little scared and walked away, 

so this is the best I could do.

Tuffy likes to visit us because The Puddha 

shares his snacks with him.

He just learned to come in the pet door...

and was he ever surprised!!

Their favorite snacks...

My Room

 My bedroom, with Moroccan Screen, Camel Salt Bags, Persian Rugs, all very tribal reflect my interest in other people and cultures that I've had since I was a child.

The Print is Danish by Bjorn Wiinblad, it is entitled 1001 Nights..

Deception Pass

I have very fond memories of Deception Pass from when I first moved here 

and beached out some weekends there with new friends; crabbing,

 and playing, swimming, and eating salmon, crab, of course, and potatoes and corn on the cob..

What a beautiful and intriguing place always. It bridges Whidbey Island to the mainland.

 Whidbey Island is the 2nd largest Island in the Continiental US.

Stunning Place..

I think everyone knows I am an Apple lover by now..

and I really want an iPad after my trip to the Apple Store Monday. 

I am thinking how cool this is to read Facebook, and the news, 

and use my favorite iPhone applications.. 

So check back in awhile, and I'll tell you all about it, if you don't know already,

 touch screen technology is very cool, and so so easy to use you can't imagine..

Facebook for instance with a touch screen is incomparable!

You really need to go play with one!
