outing with Maddy

 
 
Madalynn and I escaped for an afternoon right before school
started. We went to one of my favorite places...
Deception Pass. It was a beautiful day!  There was a
magical mist over the water, just like in the
movies.
 
 
We both spent some time trying to skip rocks. Maddy was a first
timer so she had an excuse for being pitiful but
I don't know what happened to
my old skills.
 
 
We did alittle hiking and looking over scary
cliffs. I certainly hated to leave
the peacefulness!
 
 
We stopped at our favorite place for corn and after all
these years they've built alittle building
where you can by lunch . After all these years
of just a wagon by the side of the road!
They must be doing well for themselves!
 
After alittle lunch we even had time for a tiny bit
of shopping. It was a fun day.

    Those days with growing-up grandchildren are so precious. You're very wise to make time for these lovely one-on-ones.

    Hello, dear friend...this post brings back my memories of my life in Washington and how much I do miss it. I love spending one-on-one time with my grands, so even if you rock skipping is rusty, I bet you had a memorable day, XOXO

 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
