This photo is a shout out to my mama. She worked for F&N for many years. We found this truck parked in an old gas station by SeaTac… We spent our last night of our road trip at one of our favorite places, McMenamin’s Edgefield, just outside of Portland, OR. It’s a fun, unique escape. […]

We decided to take the long way back to Seattle and detoured to see the SnoqualmieFalls. A herd of elk we encountered on the road from North Bend to Snoqalmie. The falls are running strong right now. They are also currently remodeling the platform and it is no longer covered… Can you see the vertical […]

It was a lovely afternoon, and quite warm. We enjoyed a few hours with our friends, the Carters, at their home. Lisa, and her fiance, Dave, came by for a visit as well! We finally got to meet the man that swept her off her feet and restored her heart. It was great spending time […]

Thank you all for sharing your afternoon with me. This was a special day and I will never forget it! My […]

One of our fun traditions is to meet up with our friends, John and Ann, at Qdoba. We were able to enjoy dinner outside and get caught up on each other’s lives. Always a treat and something we look forward to…

Our friend, Jessie, recognized our car in the parking lot and, yay!, joined us for dinner… After dinner, we went to see my brother’s new home. He is renting a fabulous cabin out […]

A definite highlight of the trip was an afternoon with our two nieces. They are growing up sooooo fast! We had a nice lunch, then a visit to a local business park and bookstore… I love these two precious cuties!

Perfect weather. Quiet days. Delicious food. Special moments. That’s our time in a nutshell… Playing with Luke the dog… Our country boy… Going for a walk… Exploring the jawbone of a deer or something bigger… These cows were funny. The first time they saw us, they startled and ran away from us, watching us the […]

The drive from Chelan to Sandpoint afforded us plenty of beautiful country views. (Side note: we had a little drama. ‘A’ developed an infected finger and we had to detour to the ER in Spokane for treatment. He is improving…)

Our family tradition is to spend the 4th of July at my aunt and uncle’s house on Lake Chelan. We have a theme costume party based on a state. This year, it was ‘Massachusetts.’ The weather was unseasonably colder than normal. This did not dissuade the kids from spending the day swimming, although they spent […]
