My oh my… I believe spring may have sprung! It has been so nice here the last three days. I did some spring cleaning yesterday.
I can’t wait to start yard sailing, and spending time outside.
I’ve been told my pictures are too big and take to long to download. So I am trying to figure out how to compress my pictures, so until then I will hold off on the pictures.
I’m working on s painting project, I will post about when I’m done. I hope it turns out. So far so good.


Please meet Bitsy. Our not so itsy Bitsy, (she has a bit of a weight issue). Quite possibly the most precious, spoiled dog ever. She gets treated better than some children.
You don’t want to get me started.

To things you will usually never see me without….. My cell phone & my journal.
I am one of those sick people that are totally attached to their cell. We’ve totally bonded her & I. I take her everywhere I go.
My journal is almost always with me. I write down everything. I jot down my thoughts, my ideas, things that I see and love. Sometimes I look back in it, nothing makes sense but it did at the time. Oh it was journal worthy.
I am a bit addicted to journals. I tend to buy them more than I need. There are just so many cool ones out there. This green one is my latest addition. Happy writing!
Here is some more about our day trip to Seattle. After leaving the Market, we went to the water front for lunch.
We ate here……
You can order a Seafest. They cook tons of seafood, corn. potatoes, and sausage, all together in a large pot. The waiter puts butcher paper on your table, they bring you a board and a wooden mallet. When your Seafest is ready your waiter just dumps it all out on your table.
Oh also they give you bibs to wear. OK normally you wouldn’t catch me in a bib, but when in Rome. It totally saved my shirt. I was going to post a picture of me in my lovely bib, but it won't upload. Oh Well! :-)
If you get the chance you should try it. It makes lunch much more of an experience.
This weekend we decided to go on a road trip. Both of our kids had plans so the Mr and I went on a big adventure. We headed over the snowy pass to Seattle. Maybe not the smartest move in early spring. But oh well... We forged ahead.
When our kids were little we used to call road trips Big Adventures.
This was our first stop on our Big Adventure! ;-) Call me happy! The Coach outlet!!!
Oh my; the beauty within. This was my first visit to any Coach store. They are some wonderful purses in there. Even at an outlet it was still really expensive. (I’m pretty cheap) But I did walk out with this little number.
I love to walk around , but I really love to people watch.
You could show up in your pj’s and not brush your hair and you still wouldn’t be the weirdo. You really see all kinds there.
They have everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to flowers and handmades. But the thing is everything is just gorgeous. The vendors do a great job in displays.
This is the first Starbucks; I really wanted to go inside. So did the other 90,000 people there that day. We couldn’t even get in the door. I am not known for being patient, so we just enjoyed the view of the sign.
Working on posting a recipe. The Pioneer Woman’s Caesar Salad. Oh my!
It is Fabulous!
