This photo is from Lake Como. For some reason, on this trip, we hit some of the best spots we have ever found in Italy. Since we have been there four times, we have seen quite a bit of the country. We went to Lake Como and Lake Garda. By far … (1 comments)

king of the house inc: RE: Squirrel Convention, Bellingham, Washington June 2007 - 05/29/07 04:31 PM
While this squirrel convention has yet to have a specific date, and please understand it is difficult to get a group of chattering squirrels to agree to anything, it sometimes seems like this event is ongoing year-round in almost every Bellingham neighborhood. As a 50+ year resident, I really do not know … (0 comments)

king of the house inc: Marine Park, Fairhaven - 05/21/07 05:10 PM
Marine Park is not the first park most residents would think about, when they think of the Bellingham city parks. It is not as widely use, or known, as two other nearby parks: Boulevard and Fairhaven Parks. Marine Park is great for kids, but not specifically designed for them -- no … (0 comments)
