Sing-a-long Saturday

I love this man!

Three on Thursday

Yes it's icy in Seattle today.  The National Weather Service has issued an ice storm warning.  It's 28 degrees and there are little ice balls falling from the sky, I can hear them hitting the kitchen window.  I have a fire going downstairs, where the insert is, just in case the power goes out.  My lap top is fully charged, as is my phone and DS.  Bring it on!

I hope all my NW friends are staying warm and off the roads!

 

Snow Day

Today we are getting some rare Seattle snow.  The weather gods kept predicting it, but we don't usually pay attention to all the hype.  Because of the water and mountains surrounding the area it's always hard to predict snow and many times the threat of snow is just a threat.  Recently a new high tech satellite system was installed to track incoming weather and apparently, this time, it helped predict the snow accurately.

Yesterday at 4 pm this is what my back courtyard looked like.

And the front of my house.

This is how the courtyard and the front of the house looked at 9:30 this morning.

This is the hill in front of our house.

And our vehicles, which are staying put today!

How's your Wednesday going?

Sky Watch

It was a beautiful day in Seattle yesterday.  The mountain was out in all it's glory.  It had been a while since I had taken any pictures of it or the sky so I grabbed the camera and started shooting.

I took these out my living room window with my point and shoot Canon Power Shot SX210 at 3:45. There was no editing done to these photos. 

I took the next ones at 4:45.

What a difference an hour makes!

Three on Thursday

Following in the footsteps of fellow blogger Daryl I'm participating in Three on Thursday.

Three friends celebrating (or just being goofy)!

Staying Positive

There has been all kinds of stress and drama going on in my life the past few months.  You'd think I would take the opportunity to blog more instead of less to work through every thing, but I just can't bring myself to "put it all out there".

Instead I'm trying to stay positive.

In the midst of all the drama and stress there have been some highlights, one of which was meeting a fellow blogger in November.  Meg and her brand new husband J took their honeymoon in the Pacific Northwest.  They started in Seattle, moved on to Canada, moved back through WA on their way to OR and eventually ending up in the bay area of CA.  She's blogged about it with some wonderful pictures, please go check out!

They joined us for Thanksgiving dinner which was a huge treat for all of us.  After they left to go back to their hotel Handy Man told me it was the best Thanksgiving he remembers in years.  It was because of the company of Meg and J.

The next day Asthmagirl, her husband TOG, Meg, J, myself and Handy Man met for lunch at the Pub.

We all enjoyed each others company so much!  I was sad and happy to see them leave.  Sad because I knew it would be a very long time before I saw them again.  Happy because I knew they were leaving for a honeymoon that would have new experiences and sites and that they were going to have a great time!

I've met a few bloggers in "real life" and every one of them has been wonderful and I call them all my friends!

Happy Saturday!

Happy Birthday to my lovely daughter!

My birthday wish for you is that this year has a little less stress and a lot less drama!!  I also hope that Josh Hutcherson stops by for a visit!  Or maybe Taylor Launter!

I love you E!
