It was good to run into Steve & JoAnn Ashlock on the ferry to Victoria over pre-Christmas weekend - they have their boat docked in Anacortes these days where they live aboard, but got away for a couple of days in Victoria.....

It was good to run into Steve & JoAnn Ashlock on the ferry to Victoria over pre-Christmas weekend – they have their boat docked in Anacortes these days where they live aboard, but got away for a couple of days in Victoria…..

Just a quick look at a few things happening around here:

Dodie Gann (1922-2012)

• Passing: It was sad to hear that longtime island icon Dodie Gann passed away earlier this week….we’ll share more, but for now, the islands are a bit darker, missing her bright light. I love this little writeup from the San Juan Preservation Trust site.

• Meanwhile, the island’s population grew earlier this week as Greg & Natalie King welcome baby Judah – congrats, you guys!

It was 6-7 years ago that longtime San Juan Island realtor Jim Cooper & his wife Nancy moved to Victoria, after living here 28 years....it was good to catch up with them on the international boat on Friday last week....

Here’s a new thing that’s coming in the new year – here’s more from Leslie Byron at the Animal Shelter:

Looking for a great way to celebrate the new year? Why not be on hand to celebrate the first ever “Yappy Hour” to benefit the Friday Harbor Animal Shelter? APS-FH will kick off the first of many Yappy Hours, (to be held the first Thursday of every month), on January 3rd at Vinny’s Restaurant from 4:00 to 5:30. Come enjoy cocktails and some “yappetizers” and a portion of your bill will be donated to the shelter! Vinny’s is located at 165 West Street in Friday Harbor.

On Sunday, Amy & David Harold were in the holiday spirit at Haley's during the SeaHawk game - wahoo! (The 'Hawks' 42-13 win over the 49ers didn't hurt, either!)
