Back home!

Here's our version of lamppost fun at the Washington Way bridge.

Sun is shining, but way colder up here!

Spent my last day in So Cal in LA at the county art museum.  

One of the popular photo ops there are these statues of lampposts.

A quiet day at home, since it was raining today.  Did some coloring, some Dave Ramsey, some Bible Study... R&R!

Pokemon and walking at Shoreline Village today.  Got blessed with another day of nice weather.

Started my day with yoga on the dock,

Ended it with a great performance of Evita.

And a lot of walking in between...

Hello California!

02-22-17

Welcome to vacation!  I am soooo ready!  Tomorrow, California...

02-21-17

Starting to look at newer vehicles.  Thinking about a Mazda 3.  But I will miss this car so much, I have loved since I first got it.

Walking the lake.  At dusk.  Joy.

02-19-17

Working, working, working... I love my job, I love my job, I love my job... no, not always! At least vacation is near!

Hello terrarium!  A little sparse right now, but hopefully it will grow into itself.  Or maybe just something new for me to kill...

The kids are coming home this weekend, so first priority is getting all of our stuff out of their rooms.  Took the scrapbooks form Anastasia's room and got them reorganized.  I need a magic wand, seriously!

Niantic released Gen 2 into Pokemon Go this afternoon!  80 new Pokemon from the Johto region, caught 20 of them today.  Here I am with Ledyba, Ledyba is a gregarious Pokémon, and it seems to be plentiful in Longview.

It seems so much easier to tear everything down than to put it back together.  Here's my scrapbook room shelving, being a pain in Bruce's butt... feels like so long since we've had a functioning house!

Happy Valentines Day!
We decided to try something new and see a local magician at the Regent.
Magic show was good (groans and giggles), food and service was NOT.
Always fun spending time with Bruce though.

Ta dum!  Hardwood floors are done, Here is the pattern in the dining room.  Good thing photos don't come with smells, the smell is still pretty pungent!

02-12-17

Fremont fun!  We are all masterpieces in God's eyes...

02-11-17

Pretty day to be walking outside!  But, a wee bit too cold to get all my steps in.  We explored the heck out of Point Ruston today on the Tacoma waterfront.

02-10-17

I'm famous!  Well, Weyerhaeuser famous!  I am the recipient of the Thelma J Bryant award this year for my work with Adopt-A-Block, which earns me a Roots article, $1,000 for my charity, many well wishes, and lunch with my boss today!

02-09-17

Have suitcase, will travel.  Time to get out of dodge, the house is getting stinky with the Swedish finish on the floor. Hotel tonight, in-laws this weekend...

02-08-17

This is as far as our couch made it.  It's big and heavy and I'm weak and wimpy.

02-07-17

There is only one chair left on the first floor now, and Bruce called "dibs".  

02-06-17

The furniture is slowly disappearing... today the TV stand was gone when I got home from work.

02-05-17

More snow, are you kidding me??!

02-04-17

Waiting for photos of feeding Juno, but this photo with Thelma will have to do for now.  We also got to see Eddie shoot some hoops.  #SEAOTTERENCOUNTER

02-03-17

My Enough plaque came today.  A reminder to me this year that slow progress is still progress.

02-02-17

Finally, my new glasses arrived!  Instant relief to get something much lighter on my face.

My Willow Tree statues kind of represent my life right now.  It's more than a month after Christmas and they are still just standing there haphazardly.  Neither of us care enough to keep the house the way we like it when we have more energy.  And yet life just goes on...
