OLSON FAMILY SUMMER MEMORIES: PARTIES, PLANTS AND PEOPLE!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!

As we near the end of this summer, I’d like to share special memories the Olson family participated in this summer. Different members experienced a visual “potpourri” of activities. Celebrations, gardens, and other activities have enhanced our enjoyment of the perfect Northwest summer weather!

JUNE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Early June was an opportunity to celebrate Kathy’s and Tanner’s birthdays with a small but happy family gathering at Karl’s and Michelle’s home (alias “party central”).

FATHER'S DAY

FOOD AND FLOWERS FOR THE FATHERS!

ALL SMILES WITH FRIENDS

Tim and I enjoyed lunches with friends and and dinner “treats” for us at favorite local restaurants Fisherman Jack’s and Anthony’s Homeport. Delicious food, good conversations, interesting views, and colorful plantings.

JULY

GUESTS ADD TO FAMILY FUN

Michelle and Karl hosted their annual July 4 barbecue with longtime friends, Fritz, Emily and Traci joining in the festivities and staying late to watch the Everett fireworks from the deck.

SAVORING AN EVENING WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS

Paul and Toni, Alan and Janeen celebrated our July birthdays with us (and many dogs).

What would our humans do without us?

AUGUST

SHOPPERS KEEP ON COMIN'

Shoppers filled the neighborhood sidewalks the first weekend in August for the “MOTHER OF ALL GARAGE SALES!” Crowds! Cars! Wagons! STUFF!

OUR EVERETT GARDEN

The garden flourished in unexpected ways. The small pocket garden (below) was a colorful contrast to the garage sale stuff and some dry, streetside lawns.  White clusters covered our “peegee” hydrangea and the hardy hibiscus began to bloom!

KEEPING COOL IN PONDEROSA

Far from the crowded streets in Everett, in Ponderosa Toni enjoyed activities with her son Paul, granddaughter Drew, and Drew’s friends.

SUMMER’S FINAL FLOAT

After an active social summer, let’s all relax with Toni and drift down the river . . .
