Pumpkin pancakes

Thanksgiving morning began with a delicious pumpkin or coconut pancake cooked up by the Walter. Many of the gang were there and it was great to reconnect with everyone. After the filling pancakes we needed to make room for turkey dinner so off to Green Lake for a quick refreshing walk around the lake. Kids might have thought I had lost my mind. Walking when we could have been playing video games ... what was I thinking?

What more can be said than JKK's aptly put words - Cougar domination. I like that... Snow

From a sweet little girl to Cougar mania.













Yes she attended the 100th Apple cup with the family and will not let anyone forget she is a Cougar. After a lengthy tailgate session the game was worth the wait. No, this is not her painted but it is what she might look like if the paint had not been hidden.

Clear,,,,,Day after giving thanks

Friday I received an unexpected call. Craig was craving a Buzz Inn Burger. I agreed to meet him at Harvey Field where we could both bring the total holiday cholesterol intake to euphoric levels.

Hungry from that morning after Thanksgiving empty tummy feeling, I abandoned my shopping cart in Costco and headed north for lunch. After lunch with our bellies full I gave in and went flying....
We did the logical stuff; we flew over my house and took pictures. Had I ever flown over my current house? I will ponder this but can not remember a time or find any photos. While taking photos I opened the window and leaned on the door to get that perfect shot. To my surprise the door is more a visual comfort then functional security, after shutting the door a couple times I completed my photo shoot of the house. We turned our tail to the house and flew over the valleys of Duvall, Carnation and Fall City before heading over the hills of Issaquah, Cedar Hills, Fairwood and Kent, landing in Covington at Crest Air Field. As planned, after the usual airport tinkering and visiting with other plane owners, Craig and I simply drove back over our route to return me to my car. As for Costco, I think I will head there before the Apple Cup.

Time Flys

Wow - over a month since I visited. Let me see...

Corey has put his truck on the road at last. This was just in time for Arron's heater core to spring a leak. Took forever to tear the dash out of the 85 jeep and fix the little dribbler. While I had the dash out I pulled the dash guages to trace the short in the insturment lights, seemed Arron wanted to be able to see his speedometer in the dark. Got the dash wire fixed. It had broken from old age. Now the battery voltage meter has stopped, likely another broken wire.

Drove to Arlington to watch My cousin getting Married ... nice slide show too...

Drove over the new Narrows Bridge










and went for a walk through beautiful fall colors, long since blown away by the November winds. Bumped into good friends doing the same.

Been a rather fast moving time of the year.
Soon I will take a few days to cool my heals.
