quick road trip


I'v got these pictures out of order.After going over the pass you drive into this valley with the small town of Ellensburg. When Jim got out of the Air Force we lived in Ellensburg with our four children, five by the time he graduated and went to school. Our son James and his wife both got their degrees there too. Nice small town.


Going up to the pass...love the clouds hanging over the mts.


going down the other side and into the flat lands


This is in the Yakima valley where most of your apples and grape juice comes from.
Now there are alot of wine grapes being grown and winery's. This is looking up at Silver Valley Winery where the wedding was.



My new little niece only three weeks old. Lalana Joye (my middle names Joye also!)


My sister Liz...so good to see her

My niece Jessica and sister-in-law Nancy


my great nephew as ring bearer and flower girl....cute


Last but not least the bride and groom.The groom is my nephew Rusty and his wife Molly! One lucky guy!

    I don't know Mom...taking pictures while driving. Tsk. Tsk. If you want to risk your life, you can just let Dad drive. :)

    I still remember my trip over the mountains with Jim driving... I was probably never as close to praying as then. But taking pictures while driving... that might be even worse (also taking a picture through the windshield is terribly tricky).

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
