FAMILY FOURTH OF JULY





There is nothing quite like a family and friend picnic to bring everybody out! Here Grandpa Al, Uncle Ralph and Uncle Frank gather for a post dining photo. Don't try to steal the crab from any one of these three! :-)

















The finale was strawberry shortcake. Mom loved the sunshine and Dad the dessert.
















Ali and Sarah found all of their favorites at the food table. It was a seafood extravaganza with Bob at the bar-b-que. Get this: grilled tuna, sturgeon, salmon, prawns, oysters, steamed clams, boiled dungeness crab and a turkey. Look in the background of most of the pictures and you will see many "food OD'd" on the ground.













Ralph Jr. and Mike share adventures.












Family friend Jeff Rasar (Az) provided the music for the day. Mike B. checks out Jeff's latest technology and huge DJ collection. Bob B. is Az's assistant at many events.









Mom and daughter, Peggy and Lettie pause for a pose. Are they going to eat the watermelon next?
















Tyler, Dan, and cousin Don Rowe.









From let to right: Becky, David Bridgman's girlfriend, Lettie Bridgman and her boyfriend Wade.













Pictured here are four generations of Bridgmans. Left to right, Baby Oliver Bridgman, Grandpa Dan Bridgman, Oliver's Dad, Tyler Bridgman, and Oliver's Great Grandpa, Al Bridgman front and center.














Aunt Tiro enjoys the food, family and fun.

Sunday, May 10, 2009


With the flag flapping, sun shining, cherry, apple, plum trees, and bright red rhododendron blooming, and after four long months away, mom returned to the farm yesterday! Alan and Bob are checking Dad out from Josephine this morning and he will be joining her. It has been quite a "project" to get to this point, and of course will continue to be, but we are certain they both will be happiest at home!! With Tindy at the "helm" we have really pulled together and rallied. Hard work is not foreign to our family.
This is a very happy Mother's Day for me. the Smith Clan is hiking from West Beach, past Deception Pass to Cornet Bay and Thai Food in Anacortes. Wishing all the remarkable "mamas" in our family a terrific one, too.
