Tis the Season

I'm noticing Beach Drive homes beginning to show their holiday spirit. Last year, I featured a Beach Drive home every day during December. I must admit, I began to feel a little strange snapping photos of homes…wondering what the homeowners might be thinking. What I would really prefer is if YOU could send me a photo of your decked out Beach Drive home via email. Do me a huge favor and drop me an email to rhonda(at)mortgageporter(dot)com otherwise you just might see me (photo on the right) taking a picture of your home.

Just noticed the Coast Guard (on the other side of the cutter) and Police slowly escorting the Wallenius Wilhelmsen in Puget Sound.
Choppy weather the next two days

Today, the Puget Sound marine forecast has a small craft advisory in effect through this evening with winds from the east up to 30 kt this afternoon and 3 to 5 foot waves. High tide is a 11.8 at 11:28 am. With winds from the east, it should be pretty interesting to watch–especially if you're by Vashon or the other islands. The City of Seattle forecast confirms winds up to 20 mph from the east changing to the southwest later this afternoon.
Friday also promises to be windy and cold with lows in the mid 30s to lower 40s and south winds up to 25 mph…watch out Jeff Renner! LOL

Sumi – Beach Drive Blog’s Pet of the Week
November 19, 2008 by 4 Comments
Sumi and her owner doesn’t live "on" Beach Drive, but has walked it for 2+years from our home near Bar-s. So we’re in the neighborhood, and have many friends along Beach Drive from our walks. Here’s a picture of Sumi, my Portuguese Water Dog, Ms. Congeniality!!! She loves people, and is a major flirt. She now recognises uniforms of Fed Ex, UPS, USPS and will zero in on them knowing that the odds of a treat are pretty good!
Do you have a Beach Drive pet you’d like to submit for Pet of the Week? Simply email a photo with their story.

The residents of ‘The Cat House’, Ivy, on the left, and Lily on the right, keep their humans (John and Carol) busy by hiding their toys all over the house. They especially like to hide them under the couch and watch dad moving it to look underneath.
