I lo...Hi Kay <br />Vancouver is another beautiful city. <br />I love the Washington shoreline - the drama of the sea stacks and the creatures in the tidal pools. Ironically enough, seagulls are a nuisance in eastern Washington since they follow the Columbia River inland. I'm sure you're familiar with all manor of sea birds in Houston.

Keeping the culverts unclogged (a glamorous job) helped with the pressure on the dam. It would have been a complete wreck if the dam gave way! <br />Other than that (and a whole bunch of mud), we lost two foot-bridges and the road to the river washed out. All "fixable."<br />CathyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671747592743029540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-62662794974419038582015-11-19T21:53:44.501-05:002015-11-19T21:53:44.501-05:00Thanks Julie!
