Foothills Bike Trail

We finished our bike ride that we started last spring! It was out past the popular seasonal pumpkin farms, along salmon spawning rivers, over old railroad trestle bridges, through the trees and valley farms at the foothills of Mt Ranier. We had lunch at our favorite lunch spot in the picturesque town of Orting before taking the quiet paved bike path north to South Prairie.

A strong wind bent the trees, buffeted the house, picked up leaves and stems in a swirling, teasing dance around the house, and deposited this tableau of Autumn on the front step.

Happy Birthday Number 7!

Happy Birthday Dear Gabe, Happy Birthday to YOU!

I baked the cake; Marshal decorated. He envisioned it, planned, it, executed it.

Cousins were part of the surprise. Jed and Havah came with Grammy and Grandpa and surprised Gabe this weekend for his special day. It was a soccer/camo hodge podge birthday theme.
This gift went with the camouflage theme.
