Orange Blossoms

Look at how tall my sunflowers are now! The orange blossoms smell fantastic... Jack and I spent a nice evening on the patio with Rick and Jana last night.

Unpacking,laundry etc etc  but today Jana and I are spending some time in the pool while the giys play golf. Tomorrow I start my week at BNP Tennis  Tourney.

Goodbye Seattle

The clocks are turned forward,my boarding pass is printed and I'm just about ready to head out. Katie Derek and Madison have a birthday party to attend at the  Fun Center in Tukwila so I may stop by there on my way to the airport.

It's a beautiful sunny morning and I can see Mt. Rainier from the back porch.

A Great Week!

I just printed off another boarding pass for my return trip to Palm Springs. The week went too fast.  I spent today and yesterday at  Brad and Denise's in Everett and we had a nice relaxing time catching up on things,shopping and eating.  The sun came out sporadically but it wasn't too cold. Thank you Denise and Brad.... and Kelley for giving up your bed!

I left Everett and and met up with brother Randy, sister-in-law Judy,nephew Drew and my mom in Lake City. My mom wants to move to a senior apartment complex. We toured the building and several apartments. They are quite nice. Afterward Randy treated us to a Japanese dinner. It was excellent,however I'm not sure I have a real appreciation of Sushi.

Back at Katie and Derek's tonight. Madison's cousin Kiersten (6) is spending the night. I think I'll be bunking with Katie tonight.

I'm looking forward to getting home to some sun and Jack.

Sun and Rain

Spent a great day with David yesterday  RV shopping, Golden Gardens and Fishermans Terminal in the SUN and back to Davids for the night. My favorite kitty Slater is showing some signs of her age..17.

Went to my old dentist this morning then back down to Tacoma to the YMCA for Madison's swimming and gymnastics. Lunch at Azteca and now I'm ready for a nap. It is pouring rain again and chilly outside today.

I'll post some pictures when I get back home.

Busy Tuesday

I watched Madison at the YMCA pool today during her swim lessons. She can swim pretty well on her back and is learning to kick her feet more to stay afloat while attempting the crawl.

Picked up Great Grandma Marilyn and before we had lunch we stopped by the apartments that she wants to move to in June. They are Senior Housing, new,on the busline and one block from QFC. Very handy!  Stopped at the bookstore and Great Grandma bought Madison a book.  Madison is learning to read and can already write and do some Math (age 5).

Back home to Tacoma to watch American Idol.

Heading to Davids in Ballard today.

Sunny and Cold

Woke up to frost and sun this morning in Tacoma...about 32 degrees. Madison and I walked to 7-11 about a block away to get coffee and cocoa and let mommy and daddy sleep in a bit. Today we'll go to swimming and gymnastics and then have lunch with great grandma Marilyn (my mom). Then back home to watch American Idol.

Snowing in Washington

I arrived at Sea Tac and it began to snow before I hit I-5! I'm in Tacoma at my daughters house right now and Madison and I are taking a break from coloring. Derek and Uncle Ward are outside working on the addition to the garage..Katie is still at her hair appointment. I'm going to check the refrigerator for some grub...or something for happy hour at least!
