A Lovely Day for Kelly (and me)

Kelly and I followed the railroad tracks off of Marine Drive today and found a nice little path down the steep cliff to a fairly deserted beach; somewhat beyond Little Squalicum Beach. We sat on a log in the sun and enjoyed watching skim-boarders zipping across tide pools. Along the tracks we spotted several goldfinches; Washington's state bird. You don't see them much anymore, so it was a real treat. It was a perfectly lovely day for Kelly's birthday. Happy Birthday Kelly! Thanks for sharing it with me.

A Mom's Day Bouquet

I was really weary when I pulled into my driveway from work yesterday. I gathered my lunchbag, jacket and coffee mug in one arm and was fumbling with my purse, keys and water bottle in the other when I noticed a package sitting by the front door. Flowers--for me! Suddenly I didn't feel so tired anymore! I hurried into the house and dumped all my paraphenalia into the nearest chair; then set about the happy task of arranging these lovely blue iris and soft pink tulips in their frosted pink vase. Thank you so much John and Karen for your thoughtfulness. Love you!

A New Walking Friend

A week or so ago I mentioned to an acquaintance at work that I'd seen her out walking in the evenings. She invited me to join her for evening walks. Today was our first walk. As it turns out, we both had been praying for someone to walk with after work. So God has answered two prayers at once! Sometimes I just marvel at the ingenuity of my Heavenly Father!

Now shall I walk

or shall I ride?"

Ride," Pleasure said.

"Walk," Joy replied.
