The resolution would extend the present loan limits for FHA, Fannie and Freddie through the 2010 calendar year at 125 percent of local median home sales prices, up to a maximum of $729,750 in high-cost areas.

Tall evergreens dip their branches down to the cool Hood Canal waters.

An Eagle spies his first meal of the day.

The gentle waters rock the anchored boats to and fro.

A cloud drifts by to take a look.

The skies melt into the waters and the crickets chirp. A salmon sounds with a splash,as the cat finds my lap.

Life is simple here.There is day and there is night. The Seasons find their voices and all is well.

Welcome to Belfair. Minutes from everything ...yet a world away.
