Homer Weekend

Right after returning from our out-of-state trip, we promptly headed down to Homer for a weekend getaway. We went with our friends Joe & Dellany and stayed at Dellany's dad's place in Peterson Bay. Dave and his wife Caryl are wonderful hosts (amazing cooks!) and are both retired art teachers. Caryl let Dellany and Dori do a little bit of glass work - making drink stirrers and other objects to be fused out of scrap glass. It was great fun!

We spent Saturday afternoon kayaking out in the bay and it was a perfect day for it!


Dellany and Joe in the kayaksChris rode the waterbike, which was a good thing, because after we paddled all the way around, I was pretty tired, and I made him tow me back to the dock ;)
I just thought these buoys were cool. It's an oyster farm in the middle of the bay! The view from the cabin - and one of Caryl's ceramic pieces


Guinness and Salty had a good time running around playing. Here they are near the end of the weekend - pooped!

The best and most exciting news from the trip though, was that Joe proposed to Dellany and she said yes! He hid a message in a bottle and took her for a walk on the beach. She had no idea, and was delighted. Of course, it was our job to keep Dellany distracted and help Joe plant the bottle, so we were equally delighted to be part of such a special event. Congrats to them!
