Woody's Ramblings: April 2014

Yes, I am officially the least conscientious blogger on Earth....

Oh well, here are a few photos to start getting up-to-date.

Near the end of March we adopted a new family member - Sadie! She's our beautiful 2 year-old female Yellow Lab, and as you can see in the photos she settled in pretty fast!

Sadie's first walk near Mission Creek with Wendy and me

She likes the couch!

And she loves to cuddle

I made my annual early season trip down to Sawmill Lake to shake out the shack nasties (although the trip to the Methow helped a lot with that!).

First still water fish of the season

A fish to justify my Moby Whale a little...

After a couple of years waiting for my neighbour who promised to remove a stump beside our driveway, and I finally got tired of waiting and decided to take care of it myself. Thank goodness for pickups with low-range 4WD and a strong rope!

Almost out!

Gone!

One day we were over at Alison's future in-laws, the Belgroves, and we all had a go with Darrell's pellet gun. We even hit something, eventually...

Even Wendy gave it a go!

Some more Sadie pix. She was great during her first boat ride, but not so much on the drive to the lake - she expelled her breakfast into the backseat and half-filled the cubbyhole on the door with recently eaten dog food. Yuck! No pix, though. She showed us what she does when she gets bored, too.

Near the end of April Trout Waters puts on their Customer Appreciation Days. This year I had the pleasure of representing Sage, Rio and Redington as a pro-staffer for RB Sales. As usual it was a fun day capped off by a great meal at Olympia Greek Taverna, complete with belly dancer.
