In Ilwaco: the world’s tallest crab pot Christmas tree!
 
Thanks to Allan’s hard work and our assortment of beloved clients, we had a most profitable and enjoyable work year.  
 
Now comes vacation...a month of rest and reading and indulging my new computer addiction: Scrabulous on Facebook!  (If Scrabulous is still around, find me there as Flora Gardener and challenge me to a game.)
 
We had Christmas with Allan’s parents, sister and brother in Seattle, and just fit in a Christmas Eve day trip to the Pike Place Market, a favourite place of mine  ever since my grandmother took me there as a small child.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With a dog band and cat world, flower booths and delicious restaurants, I was in heaven at the Pike Place Market.  As Christmas Eve approached, the restaurants closed unexpectedly early, so we tried Pan Africa...closed!...Sabra (Israeli)...closed due to family emergency....The Crumpet Shop...all out of crumpets!...and finally found a wonderful Russian Cafe in the Sanitary Market.
 
 
 
 
 
Tulips in bloom at the Market
had me all excited for spring
bulbs...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now begins the quiet winter...and finally, catching up on the blog.  New entries go back as far as October 10th...Sorry it took me so long.  Remember, if you can’t find anything here for 2008, check out my space at blogspot after awhile...I’m giving this site another try with a new set of pages and hoping they will upload better.
 
Happy New Year from Allan and Skyler of Tangly Cottage.
