Well it’s no secret that all my favorites this week are from the state of Washington. It’s been so good to spend some time in my home here with my children and extended family. So here are the 5 in no particular order.
1. Seeing everyone cuddled up on my couch in my Family room.
2. The view from my stairwell window of the maple tree and sky. The maple tree is in my neighbor’s yard but she shares all her fallen leaves in my yard. :0)
3. Family willing to pose in whacky places for this blogger!!
4. My home all decorated for Christmas with the fireplace on.
5. Goodwill in Washington. I bought 10 of these green goblets that we’ve used twice already! The Goodwills in Washington are so great compared to California…
Today is my last full day in the Seattle area with some last minute things that need to be done. I hope to get around and see everyones Fives sometime today. Have a wonderful weekend.

have a safe flight back!
oh and, cuz I’ll forget till it’s too late, Happy Anniversary.
I LOVE the penguin picture. More than any other blogger you have awakened me to really look around my world with more detail and intent. I think it’s been wonderful. My family is not sure whether they like it or not. So many times on our 12 hour road trip drive home I wanted to stop and take a picture. They shut me down. I was afraid they were going to take the camera. “MOM, it’s going to take us a week to get home”! 🙂 Can’t wait to see San Fran pictures from you celebration weekend. Rejoicing with you guys over many years of joy.
I love your fav fives.
that penquin picture just cracks me up! it’s hilarious in a great way!!
Your pictures are always wonderful, Ellen.
I like your list, too, especially your stairwell view.
These are great. Evokes great memories for you. Love it. Don’t forget to celebrate my birthday while you are in SF. Have a safe trip and a wonderful time.
Okay, I love penguins! That penguin pic made me laugh out loud.

Beautiful, beautiful sunset picture. I love maple trees. Wonderful five!
What a glorious sunrise photo! I love your family photo – everyone snuggled and cozy and obviously having a wonderful time together.
Your cozy family photo is my favourite. Glad you had such a good time together.
Have a safe trip back Ellen.

I love your photo collage – the living room and fireplace is just stunning! But nothing looks better than family all piled on the sofa together!
