EDIM For May 14th

The old salty sailor that I bought in

Sidney, BC on one of our sailing 

trips to the Gulf Islands. This little fellow

was with us in great weather and in bad.

I used to laugh at his expression. He

 always seemed to be saying, " It's

getting a little rough seas, isn't it!"

I do miss our sailing days and the boat.

Had a Little Visit to the Hospital Yesterday

 The head nurse was very nice but I knew I 

couldn't escape.

 She made me wear this funny thing on my head.

Something about "Surgery Must Be Sterile", you know.

I think the bell was for finding me if I tried to escape....

 They gave me a cocktail, said I 

would enjoy it....

The Doctor said....

And that's all she wrote.....

I am now home resting up from a double whammy

as some would say. Had a colonoscopy and  a

endoscopy. Everything was fine but I have a

very sore throat and little or no voice. 

 DH enjoy it while you can for

 they say the voice shall be back in a day or two.

Enjoy your weekend and know I shall never
schedule these things on the day after Halloween.
Think of all the candy I missed out on.

Painting Memories

Lately I have been enjoying our warm Fall weather

filled with sunny days and cool nights. I also have 

been day dreaming about past memories. So I have 

painted up a few.

Sadly the farmers market in my town is now closed for the season.

It was so great to get fresh veggies and gorgeous flowers.

There were some great artist there too.

I think I shall make some into cards.

EDiM May 4th

The assignment was draw a present you have

received. Why is it special.

I had wanted this book forever. I mentioned

it to my son one day and I didn't think he

was listening. He just said oh that sounds

nice. (he had other things on his mind)!

Well my birthday rolled around and he gave

me some beautiful flowers and said something was

coming in the mail.

Soon this arrived and was I surprised. 

What a sweetheart, he was listening.

The book is fabulous.

Watercolor with pen & ink.

It was in the 70's...No kidding! (or how I spent Easter)

We went to West Seattle to walk on the beach,search for 

sea glass, enjoy the 70 degree weather. Of course we had to stop by 

Duckies Rule! This man decorates for all the holidays with ducks.

Some of these ducks sing and it is very entertaining.

Looking back at downtown Seattle across the water.

I live in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains

you see behind the Space Needle.

Then we drove back to Seattle and up on 

Queen Anne  to get this photo.

The opposite side of the Needle and more of 

downtown. We finished off our adventure

at a Thai restaurant by Greenlake. Yummy.

The sun just made our day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter too. 

Had a Wonderful Birthday

Beautiful flowers from my son.

We all went back to one of my favorite places

Ray's Boathouse on Puget Sound in Seattle.

The sun was shining (YES I did say sun and shining)!

This looking out on their deck.

I was spoiled with all the seafood,presents

 and the two favorite men in my life!

Now on to another fun filled year 

and great memories to be made.

PS. Teddy said that should have been two of my

THREE favorite men...(oh good grief)

What's Up...?

What's up... I hear she has something 

special planned for tomorrow!

Well what's she gone and done now? 

I don't have the foggiest idea....mmm  

So we better check in tomorrow don't you think....

Yup, I guess so.....mmm...

A Quiet Day To Reflect

Taking the Day off!

 

Need I say more!

A Belated Mother's Day!

We had put off mom's day as my son had

hurt his shoulder and needed to heal. So 

we celebrated at Edmonds Wa on Saturday

as they were having the Edmonds Art Festival &

Farmers Market too. The photo above is from the Farmers market.

The flowers were gorgeous and so was the food and veggies!

Then we approached the Art Festival!

 

So many tents and a whole day to wander through.

The weather finally started to behave so one could

leave the umbrella behind. Sorry I did not get any pics 

of the artist work as I was to busy looking!

Then we headed down to the beach after a yummy

lunch of Thai food. We were greeted by my special friends ...

We found sea glass and had a good walk. On some of the

rocks we found these brass art that I thought you'd

like to see. Click on photos to enlarge if you like.

What a fun day spent with my terrific son.

Thanks sweetie!
