Family Portrait

OK ….another diversion from flora and fauna.  Not that this isn’t really what Island life is all about. 
As I was walking late morning by the neighbors dock I heard their boat horn sounding incessantly back near our dock.     Aha, good timing…It’s our wonderful neighbors Steve and Colleen who had a tiny cabin in the early days with a 3 year old boy we watched grow up to this big tall guy (pro volleyball player) with a darling little wife (they got married on the beach here)... Over the years they’ve fixed a septic pump of mine,  brought lots of groceries and wine by boat, helped with boats and floats, and much more … to say nothing of watching the place when we weren’t allowed here.   And now I got to meet Lillian, the next generation (the baby I made the knit Lily  the Lamb for) (she sleeps with it ), on her first trip here….(They live in Kamloops now.)     So I had to post this to be in my blip book.  I had the big lens on so had to get far away!   Going down there with Herb and a bottle of wine soon.   
(Edit;  actually  they all came here … it was so fun!!!!)
Saw 2 other neighbors briefly ( one brought fresh eggs from his chickens, one Is trying to build a pole for our docks to help in and out of  boats). and had a good chat with an old friend on zoom.  
Whew…so much for this being a hermit day.   Turantot live from the met on the studio stereo.
