Mount Rainier and Puget Sound: Views from the Merrill home.

Taken from Port Orchard, Olalia 

These pictures are from the porch of the Merrill's new home.  You can see it from both the living room and the master bedroom.  Totally cool!  We ran into the Merrills in Omaha at the temple and spent a few minutes together bother they continued their trip.  We went to the Jackson Street Grill for lunch and then to the Pioneer Heritage monuments.  A quick forage to the candy store.  The Merrills are friends of Ty and Natalia.

Sunday Dinner with the Merrills

It seems we always have Sunday dinner with the Merrills when we visit Natalia.  This visit was no exception.  However they introduced us to a new game, Kubb.  You tossed sticks to knock over blocks, with the king block saved for last.  It was fun.  We also played some bocci and generally had a good time conversing.  Tony has a pen pal from the Merrill grandchildren so it was good for him as well.  The task now is for on of our kids to make us a set of Kubb for Christmas.  This Sunday dinner was a bit more special because it included Ty's birthday.
