Shaggy

Cute, huh? And he reminds me that I really need to go get a haircut.... I do my own chin waxing and brows...

Still in US for a family matter.

THEME DAY--Mailboxes

This is the C.S. Wilke house in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. It dates from 1898. I love it.

I'll bet the mailman brought the mail directly to their door once-upon-a-time, and didn't place it in the black mailbox to the left of the gate.

I'm still in Seattle for a family issue, which I'm only now beginning to see progress in. So sorry I can't visit you all regularly for the moment. I won't forget you!

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND- The doggies in the window

Not much of a reflection here, but couldn't resist posting this. Just goes to show you that you should always have your camera ready. Caught these cuties while stopped at a red light. Thank goodness for automatic windows; down mine went and snap, snap. Their owner was only too happy to have these pups pose.

Blue, blue

In the USA for a family matter.

Tooth 'ache'

This is Baby Amel, the daughter of friends. You can see she's cutting a tooth...on her father's thumb...

In the US on a family issue.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "old"

I pulled over to take this photo of these shutters and matching moss on this old house near Kopachuck Park in Washington state.

There's even a matching daffodil.

See other O's on ABC Wednesday.

Cat who swallowed the canary?

Maybe not the canary, but a finch or a crow or a red-winged blackbird? This beautiful cat lives in Birds Unlimited in Gig Harbor, Washington. He is a rescue cat....what a great place to live for a cat, though I imagine the birds steer clear of him. No birds for sale anyway in the store, just things bird-related like feeders and birdbaths!

My hair is longer

I've been letting my hair grow and now I am wearing dangling earrings rather than post ones. I bought this little hand in an Indian shop, but it appears I should have gotten a bigger one...

Am still in the US due to a pressing family matter.

Happy Easter!

Yesterday my mother, daughter, son-in-law, and I colored eggs, and here they are! Which one do you want?

Happy Easter to all of you, and thanks for your comments and thoughts while I am in the US for a few more months on a family matter.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND-my world turned upside down

I am barely visible in this reflection through a series of inverted wine glasses at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. My own world turned upside down nearly three years ago, when my beloved husband passed away unexpectedly.

Today would have been our 34th anniversary.

SKYWATCH - Majestic Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier, or 'the mountain,' as it is known here, rises majestically in the distance. Viewed from Gig Harbor, Washington.

Am in the US until July on a family matter.
