The Condo

The DeFuria girl cousins got together a few weeks back to share a weekend of family bonding at the good ol' grandparents condo in Ferndale. Fun times!


The first night we arrived, we played a lot of Old Maid (the Jumbo Cards!) and even though Katie is pictured here as the "winner," we played about 8 more times over the course of the weekend and Emmy lost EVERY TIME. It was uncanny, really.

For a bit of entertainment, the next morning we decided to take the ferry to Lummi Island. We had decided to walk-on for a wee bit of exercise (and to save ourselves the expense). Wouldn't you know, the ferry was closing the gate just as we arrived. We decided to make a run for it - and they held the boat for us - yay!!!


This created quite a bit of wind-blown hair on my end (and notice the extra cool, retro coat. As you know, my coat was stolen in Italy, so I had to make do with what I could find in the closet at the Condo. For those of you that don't know, everything there is circa 1960).


Self-Portrait Group Pic (first try!!!) Gosh we're cute :)

Waiting for the return ferry after a warm and hearty lunch at The Beach Store Cafe - yum! (And dang! it was cold that day - 25 degrees, brrrr!)

We spent the evening channeling our inner-grandmas in memory of Gramma Jane. I found this robe and matching slippers in the closet (which were probably Pat Widden's but oh well) and we laughed the evening away remembering/imitating all the funny things we could about Gramma. (I simply must get one of these snazzy robes for myself....)

On our final morning we awoke to a silent shroud of snow. Unfortunately we all had to skedattle before too long, but the condo sure looked sweet covered in white.
