The Slot

For about six years, Deb and I have noticed that the sun sets right between Orcas and Lummi Islands on May 5. We started calling the spot between the islands the "Slot." And for about six years Don, much more than Deb, goes wild when the sun sets in the slot..... it is beautiful. So, as you might guess, we have been waiting a long time to be able to see the slot sunset from the house. Best day is May 5 but it has been cloudy and rainy so sure enough, today, May 7, we got a beauty.....
And, this is not the only reason to celebrate..... Our friend Dick, has returned for his third SOS tour of helping work on the house! Yep, although the last time he was out in October he said he wasn't coming back till the house was done, he must have felt sorry for us and came back out to help out. He will be invaluable. And it will be fun. Best of both worlds. So, enjoy the slot sunset... It will actually be back in the slot around Aug 7..... Mmmm that is the day Deb broke her back last year..... We'll have to wait on that one....
Goodnight!
