Christmas in Sequim - Merry Christmas everybody!

We just made it back from our 2-week vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Second time we were there, at an all-inclusive hotel in Bucerias, which is about 20 miles out of town. One can really get spoilt...no needs for shopping, great food (lots of fruits) with 5 specialty restaurants, peaceful adult pool and lots of stretches of empty beaches. After our return, our Sequim neighbors told us that we did not miss anything in Sequim. That it had been pretty rainy and gray even in sunny Sequim during that time of late November.

Ever since we have been back, we experienced our Sequim blue hole again, even if it's just for 2-3 hours a day. It's enough time for a nice walk in Carrie Blake Park, getting some decent exercise, watching the dogs at the dog park and feeding the ducks. Nice to see Sequim town and our neighborhood in all the festive Christmas decoration with lots of lights to brighten the season.

Feeding the ducks at Carrie Blake ParkNext day after our return I went to the Lazy Tree Farm, about 10miles west from Sequim, to pick up our Christmas tree which we had tagged before we left for Mexico. To our surprise, we were lucky another time and our wonderful blue spruce tree was still standing there. It was up to me to saw it off. It was pretty proud when I had finally accomplished this task. Now, the most beautiful Christmas tree is bringing joy and nature to our lovely new house.

Moving to Sequim on the Olympic PeninsulaWe wish all our Sequim friends and Sequim visitors a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Ever wondered what Christmas in Hawaii is like see here.

Two good news from Sequim town:

Today, the Sequim Senior Center is celebrating Christmas with Christmas dinners at 11am and 2pm.

We recently found out that Sequim residents who don't have medications covered with a health plan, can pick up a Sequim RX discount card at the Senior Center or the Sequim library and save up to 20% on their meds. Why nobody at Wal Mart ever told us that, we have no clue but at least, we know now. We saved big on Keoki's recent meds! Go get your discount card for Sequim residents.
