Retro

These retro chairs remind me of those I had in my grandmother's garden as a child.  I remember sitting on them on a hot day, or trying to...ow.

Seen in the Capital Hill area of Seattle.

THEME DAY--Craftsmen

There are a couple of places I always visit when in Seattle, and one of them is Beecher's Handmade Cheese store at the Pike Place Market. Half the fun is watching the craftsmen make the various cheeses. In the bottom photo you can see my little pot of their macaroni and cheese with peppers. Yum...

Read more about Beecher's right here.

I love lemon

Today the weather, for the most part, was good. Sunny skies!  I treated myself to this sunny lemon tart at the Pike Place Market.

Sorry....

Sorry I've missed a few posts....been going around with my daughter and son, and not much an eye out for photos...but hope to get back on track.

WEEKEND REFLECTION - In the eye of the beholder....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and here I am in my little grandson's eye.  (wink)

Seattle's Seven Hills

Seattle boasts seven hills. This photo of a mosaic column was taken on Queen Anne Hill.

I always think of Rome when I hear 'seven hills,' but it appears that there are quite a few cities that claim to be built on seven hills. Check out this link.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"O" is for "objets d'art"

When I'm in Seattle, one of my favorite stores to browse through (and yes, sometimes buy something) is World Market. I used to have a collection of teapots in unusual shapes and once-upon-a-time would have bought one of these.  I've downsized and kept only a few of my collection.

I've been to the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower, and the elephant one here reminds me of Atlantic City's Lucy the Elephant  that my grandfather and I visited several times when I was little.

Lovely OBJETS D'ART, but these remained unpurchased by me.

Everyone's got one

Everyone's got one. Not a Smart Car, but an IQ.

Is this 'smart' car's IQ high or low?

A long spring

It's darn cold.  I left Belgrade, where it was just getting nice and warm, and now I'm practically back in woolies again.

A classic view of Seattle from Alki Beach.

Sunday morning breakfast....

A very unhealthy one to be sure, but I haven't had a doughnut in ages.

Green and wet

Jet-lagged, but in the Emerald City and it's raining.  This photo shows green and raindrops!
