think spring...

today is another dreary day in seattle but once you get used to it.... you just learn to deal with it.
i never appreciated the sun as much as i do after living in seattle 15 years.
so since we will not likely see the sun today... i thought i would share
one of my favorite images with you... it reminds me that spring will be here... very soon.
have a wonderful day...xx

my apologies... i do not know the source. if you do, i would love to know so i may credit...

a day of silence...

my prayers go out to the family of these dear children...
one of the most heartbreaking stories i have ever heard... here

happy birthday!

i will cherish the memories spent with my family celebrating my dear sister karen's birthday.
we dined here for her special dinner... and i am sure most of you can guess where it was!!!
thought i would bring a little sunshine to all of you... it was fantastic...

wishing you all a wonderful week... xo
