When we were in Madison, Suzy crashed into a pickup with the miata and totalled not only the car, but my maui jims. They split right in two. Aargh! |
| Back on the island, Peter started on our two ti-houses. |  |
 | The first one is going on the stone terrace we built by the house, and it's Charlie's ti-house. We used fir poles from the trees down on the property, much better than cedar 4 by 4s. The ti-house looks like it's floating because the poles blend in with the rest of the trees. |
| Here's the guest house with Taine's shingles in the peak. It's so beautiful! |  |
 | Taine set a continuous cedar board for the handrail and put this cool wire mesh for the stairs. The stairs are cedar boards, too, with extra siding for the backs. It looks great, but didn't pass inspection. We had to (temporarily) add a handrail to the top. |
| Hawk installed the door knobs with locks on the bathrooms. |  |
 | Cora really likes our clean smooth floors. She crawled everywhere. |
| We planted Cora on Pingree Rock, where she did a great job of weeding a depression in the middle. You can see Suzy's figure 8 brace for her collar bone fracture peeking out there by my jacket collar. No more pain, but I still can't do much.

 | Beautiful, happy Cora. |
| We started a fire for our test clambake on Pingree Rock. |
 |
 | Peter went out in the kayak to gather kelp for the "thick layers of seaweed" between layers of fish, corn, potatoes, clams, shrimp and chorizo.Nina and Paul and their kids and Nina's sister Linda and her kids all came for the clambake. The whales came by for them and we had a wonderful time, even though the clambake food was not very delicious. Good we had a testrun. |

| Peter tries to persuade Cora to put some blueberries into his mouth. No way, every single one went into hers. | |
