In the Shop

Colin had to work on his car in the repair shop at the indoor playground.
 

My Prize

I received this fun mug for completing the winter reading challenge at Mid-Continent Library.
 

Second Blooming

The amaryllis Stacy gave me for Christmas created a second full bloom extravaganza! It looked like this January 27 and then sent up a new shoot.
 

Intense Game of Dominoes

Introducing Vala to dominoes with Lowell and I allowing some leeway.

 

Picking Up the Compost

We have a compost plan where we take our bucket and drop it at a gathering place. When I went to dump our bucket they were picking up from the large containers. I had to wait through the emptying of 6 bins but now I know how it works. And it appears many folks are composting.
 

Best in Show

The tulip trees are outstanding this year. After several years of frozen blossoms they are putting on quite a show.

 

Road to the Final Four

Stacy and Hayden in front of the giant bracket in downtown Seattle in 1995. A mere 30 years ago.
 

Jumping for Joy

Colin dubbed the mini trampoline a little bounce house.

 

Breaking Fast

A group from Colonial attended a Ramadan Dinner at Avila that explained the concept and then we broke our fast together at sunset (7:35 pm). The woman in purple was the speaker. She provided a very good basic Ramadan explanation.
 

Monochromatic

We siblings talked before attending Benson's party so we could be color coordinated. If only.
 

Happy Birthday to Benson

Benson liked the singing but wasn't at all sure about the cake after he got it on his hands. The tree was stunning behind them.

 

Kids and Critters

The grandkids encountered turtles, a hawk and a bunny up close at the Ernie Miller Nature Park.

Doll House Wonderland

This is so cool, according to Lowell and Vala as we visited the Toy and Miniatures Museum. Of course, the Barbies were a hit.

 

Back When Things Were Civil

Steve and I and my friend Anita visited the White House during spring break in 1973.

 

Keeping His Distance

Colin wanted to get closer to the turtles but they would slide into the pond and he didn't want to get closer to the geese so here he sits.
