A beautiful sunset to end the day.

Day 18, Another beautiful sunset

The photo doesn’t do justice.

I never grow tired of the beauty all around us. So thankful to live in such an awe inspiring place.

Remembrance

I wanted to do something special to mark the one year anniversary of Dad’s death. Going out to the cabin seemed like the most appropriate but with my schedule this week I couldn’t make that work. So I planned a cook-out at Captain Cook Discovery Picnic area. We had a fire and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. The sky was clear, just a bit hazy across the inlet. The tide was coming in.

The kids got to play and roam around exploring. We took quite a few pictures!munchkins

We enjoyed a fire, a hot meal cooked over an open flame, and then for the grown-ups, an extra special treat:

Rhubarb wine

Jake gave us a special gift, a bottle of Dad’s rhubarb wine. Dad had spent time showing Jake how to make his famous wine and Jake still had a few bottles, so he gave us one. It was the perfect toast!

A very fizzy rhubarb wine!

The sunset was beautiful. A perfect ending.
