Bear Invasion of Privacy


When I was in Homer this summer I had remarked that I had never seen a dog roaming about the town unless it was with its human 'walker'. Sitting at the picture window reading one evening, I thought I saw a humanless dog leap out of the ditch across the street. It turned out to be..."A BEAR! There's a BEAR! A Bear!" I scream (remembering my camera is downstairs at this crucial moment).
We all poured out the east door and saw the black bear slipping into the trees.Bailey and Nate's backyard neighbor said she had lived in their cabin for 20 years and had only seen one twice!
My daughter saw the bear again last week--out the kitchen window while giving Emery a bath in the sink! It lounged around on one of their wooden walkways and meandered around the neigborhood.
Last night it was back and when Bailey thought she heard a strange noise--Nate saw a trash bag disappear around the corner.
Given the fact that they live across the street from a middle school--somebody had better scare off this intruder--PLEASE!

An Exhibition of Our Family's Creative Interests

This blog is designed to display a wide range of projects, some of which (quite possibly) have an interesting story or two! Major 'players' include Bailey and Nate, as the Molokai Kids, and the rest of our family and some friends...and whomever else has a bit of cleverness in their system! No special time frame here....we've all used our hands and brains for years. Mostly.

Naturally, there will be fish stories...

Will post the fishies later...!

Apparently Daffers won't stay off the furniture. Bad Dog!

Apparently Daffers won't stay off the furniture. Bad Dog!
Not a 'true' invention, by the way! But now that I think about it, the Hawaii furniture was either a rolled-up sleeping bag, a cooler, or a slightly-damaged lawn chair that a couple beers improved if you didn't mind slouching sideways...!

Franken-Fish

In the spirit of Halloween, we are all looking forward to "Frankenfish", the Molokai kids' attempt at ocean taxidermy.
Pull that puppy out of the closet!

Err, I mean fish.

The Frankenfish

The Frankenfish
The infamous taxidermied fish, pulled from the depth of a dark closet; rather dark and mysterious, just like the ocean depths....
