IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Today is a day of renewed hope. Rejoice! Yesterday was a beautiful day, too. In Seattle. Elsewhere, in Lakebay and Gig Harbor, it was fog city all day. But, I was in SEATTLE and it was glorious. Here is proof, as we arrived via the Bremerton Ferry. Since the Seattle Art Museum is closed on Mondays, instead we enjoyed strolling the Pike Place Market; lunch at the Pink Door, dessert at Le Panier Bakery.

And cheese at Beecher's. In addition to their scrumptous Flagship Chedder, I tried and bought their Marco Polo. The same chedder studded with peppercorns. Ummm.

Say Hey

Just a quick 'allo to my friends. Snapshots of life with a 10 year old and household critters at Sea Horse Ranch.

KA-BOOM

Crash! Boom! Bang! Happy New Year! Here is the first, and hopefully the last, downed tree for the year. We had a big wind storm with 36+ mph wind a couple nights ago. Found this gift in our pasture the next morning. Sigh. The horses find it fun to investigate.

Betwixt storms, I was able to make it to my local scrapbook store this week. I have wanted to get in there since just after Christmas, but was thwarted for one reason or another. I don't respond well to thwarting! My mood needed a jolt, or a sharp kick, and I decided exercise and time in my studio would be just the ticket. These supplies will be used for Valentine cards and for my All About Me scrapbook album. Craft on!
