26 June 2018 - Clam Digging!

It's Fun to Dig Your Own Clams

"Next time you vacation at the seashore, plan to take the youngsters clamming."

Clamming is a real thing guys.

I live right next to the Pacific Ocean in Washington state.

We have Razor Clams!

We just had a Razor Clam Festival a couple of months ago.

Soooo many people came in to dig for these guys.

With any type of clamming, you need to check with the local jurisdiction.

Right now in my state, Razor Clam season ended.

This is so the next generation of clams can grow under the sand for the next season.

You can get into some trouble for clamming out of season.

This is just like fishing or hunting seasons.

You might need a permit, limited to certain times and days of clam digging.

The other thing to think about is what you need for clam digging.

In our picture, the tube floating in the water is a clam basket.

This is for clam digging in the water. The basket has a float that hangs out and you can put your clams in the basket after finding one so you can keep digging for more without leaving the water.

You might need a clam hoe or basket rake.

This is kind of like a garden rake. You dig up the sand looking for the little guys.

For Razor Clams you need a Clam Gun.

The Clam Gun burrows in the sand and uses pressure to bring up the sand and the clam that burrowed deep in the beach.

This was my kids on New Year's Eve clam digging.

My son is using the Clam Gun to try to dig up a Razor Clam.

We caught a few but those guys are fast!

They go deep in the sand but evidently they are worth the work.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
