Born On the 4th of July

Being in Homer did not stop Neil from celebrating his birthday in the traditional way.  If you thought the Friday Harbor parade was small time, you haven't seen Homer's.  One of the highlights was the belly dancers and the people walking their dogs.  At one time I thought 28 was pretty old.  Now I'm twice as old as Neil.  We went clam digging at Ninilchik.  Nilnilchik is a Russian word, but I forget what it means.  There were several Russian villages in the area.  As you can see we got a lot of clams.  The last time Neil went in Washington, he didn't get any.  He made up for it this time.  We had clams for dinner & clam jook for breakfast.  We froze the rest and are bringing them home.  There were blue lupines everywhere.  Tonight we are staying in the lupine room in a B&B called fireweed.
