Happy new month!

That's the sunrise this morning, down at the marina in Friday Harbor...Russell Sadler tells me, "The color lasted perhaps 10 minutes before it faded. Pays to get up early this time of year!"
Looking around the island….
Deborah & Hobbes - congratulations, you two!
• The stories you heard are true – the reason you see Hobbes & Deb smiling so much lately is they got married last month – congrats, you two! You make a great team!
• Make your plans to give – the Blood Drive is tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Mullis Center from 12-6pm…it’s easy, it’s fast & it helps.
• There’s a special deal at the Whale Museum on Thursday, but you gotta be a member (you can join at the door) – here’s the scoop:
The Whale Museum is celebrating its 32nd anniversary with a special Members’ Only event on August 4. The museum will stay open an hour later, from 6 until 7 p.m., just for members!

Hot off the press, again...after being out of print for a while now, Catherine at Griffin Bay Bookstore shows off the new cover for June's classic about living in the islands...get yours today!
• This is great news – June Burn’s Living High has been republished!
Although June passed away in ’69, her book of her & Farrar’s life here in the first third of the last century remains not only a classic but a compeelling read because she’s such a bright, cheerful & energetic spirit…and a heckuva writer.
Here’s a writeup about her – and get down to the bookstore & get your copy.
I honestly believe this oughta be required reading for folks to live here…read it! You’ll be glad you did!
It was slammin' busy in Friday Harbor this past weekend...sunny & bright & fun. Glad you were here!
