I'm curious.So, I have a tracker on my blog that shows me where the people who are viewing blog are located. I have noticed that someone from Moscow City, Moscow has viewed my blog a few times and I am very curious about this. How did this person come across my blog? What do they like about it?

He is survived by his second wife, Shirley Scott Lilly, his children Kathleen Williams (Ed), David (Laurie) and Stuart (Janet) Lilly; his stepchildren Lauren and Joe Scott; his grandchildren Melanie (Eric) Johnson, David Lilly, Jenna and Beth Lilly; his great-granddaughter, Megan Johnson, and his sister Luella J. Lilly. He was preceded in death by his first wife of 38 years, Kathleen Ann Lilly, who died in 1990 and his eldest sister Darlene Lilly Eve.<br /><br />Dave was born in Portland, Oregon on May 31, 1931 to David H. Lilly and Edith C. Coleman. He grew up in Newberg, Oregon where he graduated from Newberg Union High School. He joined the United States Navy and served our country for 28 years in a variety of assignments in the U.S. and overseas. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington, followed by his Master’s degree in Acoustical Engineering at The Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, Ca. In 1973, Dave had the honor of swearing his son David into the U.S. Navy. Dave obtained the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was placed on the Commander’s list (a rare accomplishment for an enlisted man) before retiring from the Navy. He then worked for King County Metro as a Vehicle Maintenance Manager for 19 years for the Eastside fleet of buses. Dave then enjoyed his third career as a Real Estate Agent with John L. Scott Realty until his illness forced him to retire.<br /><br />Throughout his life, Dave enjoyed a passion for music. He was proud to sing in the Bass Section of the Seattle Choral Company for 15 years with his wife Shirley singing in the Alto Section. He proudly served as a member of the Choral Company Board for six years. Previously he was a director/conductor from 1983-86 for the Seattle Scottish Singers, from 1974-76 a member of a barbershop quartet in Guam and a member of various church choirs.<br /><br />He loved the sea and shared his passion for sailing with his son Stuart.<br /><br />His family and friends will deeply miss his joyful and generous spirit.</div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323671347753477852noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373639059273085237.post-37687777478853868662009-04-19T12:09:00.000-07:002009-04-19T12:13:57.171-07:00Peacock on my deck......<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokvrC9YmYi3cSSAKCyIRdC5x7U9EdK9A5mfo3r-GSTZQNxFgA5Oe0ySGtA3ROrEZncWhJCSVrNbCbNm23sCwDcig2cMqIvukcUQ_WJhSo8e01-9K42rmFW8pk_amzH44Id8kx1rV-EGp0/s1600-h/IMGP0318.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326482227562798658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokvrC9YmYi3cSSAKCyIRdC5x7U9EdK9A5mfo3r-GSTZQNxFgA5Oe0ySGtA3ROrEZncWhJCSVrNbCbNm23sCwDcig2cMqIvukcUQ_WJhSo8e01-9K42rmFW8pk_amzH44Id8kx1rV-EGp0/s320/IMGP0318.JPG" border="0" /></a> We have wild peacocks that live up the street from us.

It's a great place for kids because it has a natural breakwater. It has a little lagoon spot that is perfect for swimming....that is if the beach is open. The beach was closed the first day we went because an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Orca</span> whale had beached itself (a very sad story) which brings in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Tiger</span> sharks...so the beach was closed. We have pictures of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Orca</span> but I changed my mind about posting them. It is very rare for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Orcas</span> to be in this area, they are supposed to be in cold waters. The whale was a young male that looked like it was starving, it was lost from its Pod...from what we heard the poor thing was crying. They gave it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">sedation</span> and then put it to sleep. Then they loaded in on a flat bed trailer with a big front loader and that was it. We watched them load it, it was sad but we explained to Megan why it was better for the Whale to be in heaven and she understood it....when we told Megan about Emma we talked about the whale story. It's strange how close the timing was.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">I wish we would have gotten better pictures of the beach, these don't do it any justice at all. You can't see the lagoon. We did swim at this beach, but on days when I was swimming the camera was not allowed. I do have a post card of it and I might post it later.<br /><br /><div></div></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323671347753477852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373639059273085237.post-73071255522470888742008-11-29T11:06:00.000-08:002008-11-29T11:53:32.878-08:00Views from the Resort<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwMvollnwSwxs4x-jzoB0bjPX3U6YkY5_Roq8t8jnJVQu30CM92ZURD1qwKa1CGMTYhhyO3N6sK3dQ5M71C9mzMcwt2-A0XQm6kxxUzSUv-850cVSoBs90062uvVqA7NZ45awrAhD3kuco/s1600-h/100_1077.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274168923517165778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwMvollnwSwxs4x-jzoB0bjPX3U6YkY5_Roq8t8jnJVQu30CM92ZURD1qwKa1CGMTYhhyO3N6sK3dQ5M71C9mzMcwt2-A0XQm6kxxUzSUv-850cVSoBs90062uvVqA7NZ45awrAhD3kuco/s320/100_1077.JPG" border="0" /></a> I loved this tree.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0o1HhiJTBBAO65KmzthSIOAVWXgZRi-8KqRcqhPDIZ20eMHTPfFtmXeV-MxIDoagl8n06of-cTWSYJVmn51Uh6tAAXd1T14RCZ695QbsLxWLoqat7k6twTmvevQI4VH44iFPsGFbWjMPx/s1600-h/100_0857.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274159003067897874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0o1HhiJTBBAO65KmzthSIOAVWXgZRi-8KqRcqhPDIZ20eMHTPfFtmXeV-MxIDoagl8n06of-cTWSYJVmn51Uh6tAAXd1T14RCZ695QbsLxWLoqat7k6twTmvevQI4VH44iFPsGFbWjMPx/s320/100_0857.JPG" border="0" /></a>Same tree....different day.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjVFq9oNq-za4Oo8uKNhzu2ruW2_8xD0YQAXomR_Bjp-qPc7F0_49UkslPHGXqaPE0yoWjJbGIr7I3xq3E25m2HuXApAaifIg0aR1C-pZxDxRjtiIOHsn9xq_2DgbNbQzyPTokKXL0Vvge/s1600-h/100_0856.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274158996454257298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjVFq9oNq-za4Oo8uKNhzu2ruW2_8xD0YQAXomR_Bjp-qPc7F0_49UkslPHGXqaPE0yoWjJbGIr7I3xq3E25m2HuXApAaifIg0aR1C-pZxDxRjtiIOHsn9xq_2DgbNbQzyPTokKXL0Vvge/s320/100_0856.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />A five minute walk from our room and we found these views.

Eric went and talked to her and noticed that her stomach was very swollen and distended...she's a thin girl so it was easy to see. So, I made her an appointment at the vet that day and I knew the outcome wasn't going to be good. I had a hard time getting her to the vet, she could hardly walk. </div><div></div><div>The vet told me that most likely Emma had a large tumor that had ruptured and that the fluid that was causing her stomach to be so swollen was blood, she was slowly bleeding to death. She said that this tends to happen in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">certain</span> breeds and there was nothing we could do for her, even if they did surgery mostly likely she wouldn't make it through it. I made an appointment to come back that evening to have her put down and then I took her home. I wanted to make sure Megan had the chance to say goodbye to her.</div><div></div><div>Megan said goodbye...it was so sad. Pete (our cat) said goodbye to Emma by cleaning her ears. </div><div></div><div>Eric took Emma back to the vet and then he brought her body home so Bobbie and Jake could see that she was gone. Then he buried her in a corner of our back yard. We have a dogwood tree that needs to be planted, so we're going to plant it over her, it's very fitting.</div><div></div><div>Emma was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">always</span> so well <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">behaved</span>, she was the Alpha female for sure....she bossed the other dogs around and always kept them in check. Today Jake and Bobbie were out at the bus stop with us and two kids had missed the bus so they were dropped off at our stop (our driveway). I was holding on to the dogs until the bus pulled up and the kids got halfway across the street and then I let them go. They never go out in the road, they do this most every morning and they know that Megan gets on the bus and then we go inside....that is except for today, the kids get halfway across the street and Jake runs across the street and Bobby decides if he's going to do so is she. Jake decides he has made it this far it might as well try to get on the bus. If finally get them back in the pen and I'm off to work. </div><div></div><div>Megan had early release today so Eric's parents picked Megan up at school and brought her back to the house and as they pull up to the house they see Jake sitting in the yard next to road...just hanging out. He had pulled the chain link off the gate and squeezed through the hole, thank goodness Bobbies so fat or she would have been out too. Emma always kept them in line, now that the boss is gone I think we are in for some trouble.</div><div></div><div></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323671347753477852noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373639059273085237.post-52840610225481933992008-11-17T22:40:00.000-08:002008-11-17T22:45:04.426-08:00Sad Day...Today we had to put our wonderful German Shepard Emma to sleep.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323671347753477852noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373639059273085237.post-30289154756529738722008-11-12T22:18:00.000-08:002008-11-12T22:41:12.053-08:00Afternoon- Day 1<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguE179y9gKg7WlT820O3QD8g5SQLf_mJd_cexe0k4DWRBtUTPYdTUCHRG_oNVyO6iONTKbutnU5hAX6TcClAkTCJLe_RQp9mFTf6tCuOQXvR4Slgl7zbTZbFhJhc37lZYy9OyQkRLDP0Ey/s1600-h/100_0853.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268025310915432114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguE179y9gKg7WlT820O3QD8g5SQLf_mJd_cexe0k4DWRBtUTPYdTUCHRG_oNVyO6iONTKbutnU5hAX6TcClAkTCJLe_RQp9mFTf6tCuOQXvR4Slgl7zbTZbFhJhc37lZYy9OyQkRLDP0Ey/s320/100_0853.JPG" border="0" /></a> I <em>LOVE </em>Hamburgers and this place had great ones, they also had the best fries.

This party was so fun, I thought it was so nice the city invited me. There was apple bobbing, a read and feel story....nasty, but fun. There was a riddle bowl and if you answered the question right you got a big candy bar. I picked my question an couldn't think of the answer, no one knew it. So after I ate my lunch and went back to work the answer popped in to my head...so I went back and got my big candy bar, even though the party had been over for an hour. My riddle was: What rock group has four members, all of whom are dead, one of them was assassinated?<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTPT0Hbi0S01b3Qkdhn5v-J2rRNZDSR7rYovquJd_Kaq7cmFcrzwVq5kgVJom-aGlUEFcziWJzJiCTPQ_j78g5HIyu2bnh72gzts-t2xyHMjM9d9PezGNEB6HflZQhPMz_yfw_QoTMWHL/s1600-h/100_1127.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263821765730835522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTPT0Hbi0S01b3Qkdhn5v-J2rRNZDSR7rYovquJd_Kaq7cmFcrzwVq5kgVJom-aGlUEFcziWJzJiCTPQ_j78g5HIyu2bnh72gzts-t2xyHMjM9d9PezGNEB6HflZQhPMz_yfw_QoTMWHL/s320/100_1127.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyiJfgsfuCMx6-vsFjOkrD2fp2CcL2csVUW4_vlUVR3RkGIzoMXQqWXYvbk1T33kcWj28L1Jbrv5MdvrGJI13vNz-FaIc1birXfmQHhEQZZCKkTtcEtLykr94NpMlELWjx3FLAKiYvxjXD/s1600-h/100_1130.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263821355310478370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyiJfgsfuCMx6-vsFjOkrD2fp2CcL2csVUW4_vlUVR3RkGIzoMXQqWXYvbk1T33kcWj28L1Jbrv5MdvrGJI13vNz-FaIc1birXfmQHhEQZZCKkTtcEtLykr94NpMlELWjx3FLAKiYvxjXD/s320/100_1130.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8Tjnfucpo4jYHpfpFr2VXh5unMHQzmXqnn4T5AmG1IpAgDQ6a08Xt-_Q0MCP0iXLGIWslTc9PXqlubDouRwEUFiyplUtbkIaosd13qnKpTYnpic-gLOLH3AQAenvDRiWAF6wLnxrdhMo/s1600-h/100_1132.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263820699753860578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8Tjnfucpo4jYHpfpFr2VXh5unMHQzmXqnn4T5AmG1IpAgDQ6a08Xt-_Q0MCP0iXLGIWslTc9PXqlubDouRwEUFiyplUtbkIaosd13qnKpTYnpic-gLOLH3AQAenvDRiWAF6wLnxrdhMo/s320/100_1132.JPG" border="0" /></a> Apple Bobbing - Mike, a buidling inspector...and ?, she was really nice but, I don't remember her name.
