GRUMPY'S GETS MAKEOVER!

The Point Richmond Neighborhood is still coming to grips with the fact that Grumpy's place, now known as "13207 Pt Richmond", received a makeover by child artists recently. Neighborhood children have become very fond of Grumpy in the past few weeks. Though on one as ever seen Grumpy many children have had lengthy discussions with the talkative troll by way of the drainpipe, where he apparently lives. A few have questioned whether he is related to Sleepy or Dopey. As of this writing, these questions still remain unanswered. I was informed that today, Sunday, is "pamcake" day, where Grumpy is brought Pam's delicious Pancake breakfast, so perhaps Grumpy is not so.. "grumpy" today.

RECENT EVENTS

BOUNTY WITH NO MUTINY

Would you like to hear a tall tale? Would you believe, that tall ships were in town? No, really, the HMS Bounty from the 1962 movie "Mutiny on the Bounty" sailed by our beach on July 2 destined for the tall ships festival in Tacoma.

Big BOOM!

Now that's a BIG CANNON! and you should have heard the noise that came out a that leg sized piece of artillery! Some swore, in a christian kind of way, that they heard thunder in the report coming back from Vashon Island after the initial blast.






Just Fishin'












Rocket Launch
Observers were supposed to keep an eye on the rocket after the launch, but this elusive rocket went skyward never to be seen again! If you happen to find this red, white and blue painted rocket, or see it hanging from a tree, or in a dogs mouth, please notify Daniel.





Pass the crumpets please...

Tea party on the beach. Yes, one summer day at Point Richmond Beach a tea party was held hosted by Miss Sarah and Miss Julia. Rumor has it that there was warm chocolate in that tea pot. Hey, why wasn't I invited?









Talk about Grumpy!
You know Grumpy; the storm drain troll? Although noo one has ever actually seen him, Grumpy has been in high demand with local children recently.

EXTRA EXTRA,
Read all about it!


Yes, our swim was published in the Peninsula Gateway on July 2, 2008, the week after the swim occurred. Congratulations to all involved!
