Thank you all for sharing your afternoon with me. This was a special day and I will never forget it! My […]

One of our fun traditions is to meet up with our friends, John and Ann, at Qdoba. We were able to enjoy dinner outside and get caught up on each other’s lives. Always a treat and something we look forward to…

We were able to spend an evening with my “little” brother. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant in North Bend, El Caporal. Our friend, Jessie, recognized our car in the parking lot and, yay!, joined us for dinner… After dinner, we went to see my brother’s new home. He is renting a fabulous cabin out […]

A definite highlight of the trip was an afternoon with our two nieces. They are growing up sooooo fast! We had a nice lunch, then a visit to a local business park and bookstore… I love these two precious cuties!

The drive from Chelan to Sandpoint afforded us plenty of beautiful country views. (Side note: we had a little drama. ‘A’ developed an infected finger and we had to detour to the ER in Spokane for treatment. He is improving…)

Our family tradition is to spend the 4th of July at my aunt and uncle’s house on Lake Chelan. We have a theme costume party based on a state. This year, it was ‘Massachusetts.’ The weather was unseasonably colder than normal. This did not dissuade the kids from spending the day swimming, although they spent […]

We managed a short visit with my grandfather and aunt. They both live in different units of the same condo on the waterfront of Puget Sound. It’s a lovely place to live and to visit. I wish we could have made it longer, but I am glad we were able to see them for a […]

We spent the third night and the second to the last night with Dad and Dada, at their home in Seattle. The ‘Sequence’ World Cup took place, and las jovenes reigned supreme!! ‘A’ served as Grill Assistant… Legos. Que sorpresa… Fabulous dinner. After dinner, we talked to Dado’s brother and niece, living in Colombia, on […]
