Here We Are, Back in YYJ

We arrived back home on Tuesday morning, after our hotel stay in Port Angeles (CLM for any airport code enthusiasts).

It was really fun to get back home, but if you can believe it, we pull up to the front of the house and neither one of those morons  can find a house key.  Fortunately, after a few minutes of hunting, Phil managed to come up with one.

This is Phil and Janet's new discovery:

They bought this really delicious crab meat from Costco in Sequim.  The first night, they Janet made Crab and Shrimp Louie Salad with garlic toast.  The second night, they Janet had about half a pound left, so added a half pound of shrimp to make Crab and Shrimp Cakes with Spicy Chili Mayonnaise.  Phil likes to think he is the brains behind any food inspiration that goes on at our house.

Looks pretty good to us.  Did we mention that we eat the same dog food, twice a day, day in and day out, year round!

Last night, just as Janet saddled us up for a walk, the phone rings.  Last night she spoke with all three daughters.  We could hear through the door that there is some heavy duty wedding planning going on.

Phil left us out on the front step while Janet chatted on the phone.  He bought us some new lights and now we look like silly Christmas trees on four legs!

This is a book that Jeremy has spent 18 months working on.  He gave it to everyone for Christmas!  We heard everyone say how excellent it was.  He scanned  childhood photos for the book.  Why is Meg wearing that forced smile and note how her hands are clenched into fists.  Maybe she didn't want to go to Henderson Lake?  Janet's mother made the Humpty Dumpty sweater when Janet was a little girl and she still has the sweater.

This is one of the brides to be that Janet spoke to last night. This is from the book that Jeremy made.  We heard Janet tell Phil that she is wondering if Child Welfare officials can come back to investigate 30 some years after the fact.  Briana is outside, in the snow (fairly deep snow, we might add) with bare legs and a diaper on!  Hopefully the book won't make any bestseller lists and Janet will be safe from prosecution.
