a day on the town


The girls slept most of the way into Seattle (were 45miles north)



Pictures of our booth.We have a prime spot, that we pay alittle extra for, but, its well worth it. Our volunteer today was actually "the bee man".I knew he often came into the store but, I'd never met him.In an earlier post about our store, he's the man with the bees all over him. The store was that he was trying to get a swarm of bees and the queen landed on him, the hive following close behind.(bees are very docile when their swarming) He walked over to his neighbor and said "Hey, Herb I caught another swarm of bees". Herb took the picture, that landed him on the cover of a bee magazine.





Sofia and I took off after looking around the show, went to lunch at a wonderful Brazilian place that comes around with mouth watering meat on a squeer (sp?)ever few minutes.I ate my meat for the month! Pudget Sound was in the background, much prettier then my picture, and again we were blessed with a beautiful day.(aka no rain)




Spent sometime at Pike's Market, it's always fun, Sofi ewed and awed at everything!I told her she could buy one thing and she finally decided on a stuffed dragon.


There was a butterfly tent for the children(adults snuck in)Sofia got up close and personal with them!




My camera isn't the greatest(perfect for me though) so it was useless to take pictures of the huge displays. So, I took pictures of my favorite things. Hope you like them too.
It was a fun day, hope your was too!

 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
