Boeing


Three girls and a plane

oh, so quiet, everyone in bed even my manly man. He's getting up early with our granddaughter Rachel to make apple pies for the bake off at the fair tomorrow morning.You have to bring them warm, boy it'd be fun being a judge.
we've had a great week, some busy, some laid back. Done some fairing, working at the store, swimming in the Pilchuck,picked berries and made jam,made pickles for Rachel to take home,watched old home movies, today we went to the museum of flight and took the tour through the Boeing plant. Fascinating.

A few facts about the building the planes are put together in:

~Its the biggest building in the world!

~You could fit Disneyland, Calif. adventure in it and still have 14 acres left.

Well, both James and Beth and Becky and Mike got the keys to their new houses yesterday! Mike and Becky started moving tonight and will finish up tomorrow.Beth and James spent lots of money at Home Depot tonight and are going to spend alittle while fixing up before they move in to their little 1902 bungalow. I'v got five girls here tonight and we'll add Luna and Lance tomorrow. That's my part in helping.

Before we went to Everett today we did alittle garage saling....our excuse was we needed to find church shoes for Autumn, which we did find two very cute pairs for a dollar a piece! Score! And we found a few other goodies also, which came to less then a new pair of shoes would have cost! How, we make excuses in our minds for things we want but really don't need!

    Oh good! Autumn went after all. The Boeing tour looks very... informative. Atleast you hit the jackpot of garage sales!

 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
