Dinah Lee Griffey Allyn, Belfair,& LakeLand-Homes & Land

We are Here For the Party!

Dan and Rob drag out the golf greenTwo men on a mission through the mud to set up a floating golf tee. It looks like an easy job.The green is ready- all they have to do is simply set it in place. After all the tide is even out!

Dan and Rob drag out the golf green

The trip is a little more than they bargained for. The tide is out but the mud is in! Still they tarry on.This is actually a video. Can you tell?

Robs Boots

Looks as though Rob may have left something behind. It is a good thing he still has his socks. I do not think Dan has any at all!

The Littlest Golfer...worth it all!

Our littlest golfer at Allyn Days ...Worth it all!

Thanks Rob Drexler ( of Active Rain) and Dan Griffey ( my husband) You are why the little moments mean so much!

Wordy Wednesday...

Dinah sees Sarah get stuck...Ooh how did this happen where did the earth go?

A minute ago I was standing right here and now I am wobbling so.

Sticky and mucky slurpy and stucky

A pickle to be in while not feelin so lucky.

Here comes the water rushing over my toes

It must come from the Arctic because now I am froze!

The Seven Sins of Summer...

Simple Summer in Allyn Washington...Forgetting propane for the BBQ. Hot dogs in a pan of boiling water is just not the same.

Sun burns that keep you out of the sun on a beautiful day. It is not enough to have the sunscreen it must be applied to your body!

Not having change for the ice cream guy. You hear the music you know he is on his way but...

Little squirt guns. In my house Mom and Dad get the biggest, that would be because the kids are ruthless.Never turn down a good water fight on a hot day!

Reading a book INSIDE! on a nice day do what ever you have to do but do it outside in the sunshine!

A smoreless campfire. Get what ever you have to to roast your marshmallow over the open flame and melt it on to a thick brick of chocolate on a crispy Graham and enjoy every sticky bite...NO DIETING at the campfire!

Complaining. Remember Winter...you don't want that to happen again!

LakeLand Village Living...

Dinah Loves AllynI had a great day showing homes in Lakeland Village and the surrounding communities. The couple I was working with were from another country and loved the Pacific Northwest. I Loved showing it to them.

We looked at many nice homes. Their pick at the end of the day was based on the community- LakeLand Village. The homes were similar from one development to the next- but the community made all of the difference in the world.

They Loved LakeLand Village. The paved streets were dotted here and there with kept homes intertwining with the foliage and the wildlife. Friendly neighbors waved. Kids biked down the street. A boat drifted as it fished in the still Anderson Lake waters. A golfer swung. Wet towels dried on the lake shore. Kids giggled. A lawn mower spilled the scent of fresh cut grass.

This is LakeLand Village and this is going to be home.

Just Crabby Sisters... in Allyn Washington

Dinahs Girls...Sisters!

Have you ever thought to your self that maybe you are holding on to something more than you should? Maybe you have spent a little to much energy getting involved? That it is your crab and your sister Megan better not touch it!

Have you ever thought you wanted something that you really did not care about? That maybe you want a piece because someone else does too? That the only reason you are touching the crab is because it ANNOYS Sarah!

Sometime we have to sum up why we are doing what we are doing. What are are motivations. Do we even like crabs?

What is your motivation?
