Oops! The people I stopped to take a photo of me in front of the Capitol cut off “Freedom” at the top. Oh well…I zoomed in so you could see her!
Here’s a link about her.

Another example of beautiful architecture here in Washington D.C. This is a photo inside Union Station which is close to the Capitol. Today I’m going to try to see some sights before the thunderstorms roll in this afternoon!
Blessings on your new week…

Love the great architecture in Washington D.C. The Postal Museum was a nice small museum to take in.
Once I get back to Washington State I have so much to share.

God of our sires that joyful sang,
While forest shades triumphant rang,
When on the wild New England shore,
Their sails were furled, their voyage o’er.
O Lord, defend Thy children yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget;
O Lord, defend Thy children yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget.
God of the brave that sought Thy aid,
And in Thy robe of strength arrayed,
They won for us beneath Thy care,
The flag we prize, the peace we share,
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget;
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget.
And when the call to arms again
Was heard afar o’er hill and plain,
Thy mighty hand upheld the right,
Thy love restored Thy banner bright,
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget;
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget.
God of our land, Thy gift so free,
O hear the prayer we breathe to Thee;
Let union’s bond our souls entwine,
And guard alike the palm and pine.
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget;
O Lord, defend our nation yet,
Nor let our hearts Thy name forget.
Words: Fanny Crosby, 1905.
…we are tasting.
El Salvadorian, Turkish, Italian, Seafood, Irish, and homemade granola and yogurt.
What day is it? The whole downtown area of D.C. is filled with police officers from all over the country so I feel a little safer walking around. I figure if I need help all I have to do is scream and there will be a policeman from somewhere nearby…
Today I’m going to brave a taxi ride to a destination I can’t get to by public transit. Hmm… I’ll let you know how that goes.

Thomas Jefferson Memorial
We saw this on our first day here from the D.C. Trolley.
I spent some time at the Portrait Gallery today. Then I checked out the Postal Museum and Union Station. Tonight I’m just taking it easy in the hotel room while Dear is attending some meetings. I’m so glad Blogger got things and is getting things fixed. Happy weekend to all of you!

For the rest of my stay in Washington D.C. I’ll try to post at least one photo a day…
This was taken inside the Washington National Cathedral. Beautiful rays of light were cast on this statue of George Washington inside the Cathedral. Here’s a different view.
Wondering what is up with blogger. I can’t leave comments on any of your Blogger Pages. Hope they fix the glitch soon!

Dear and I are enjoying the sights in Washington D.C. but not so much the internet at our first hotel. We are moving to our new hotel today and hopefully the internet access will be more cooperative for me. I haven’t been able to load pictures onto my blog like usual. At the end of the day after seeing so much my brain goes into a very uncreative mode so I’ll save most of my D.C. posts for when I get back to Washington State. Yesterday we visited the Washington National Cathedral and did a drive by all the major D.C. stand outs. Today we are going to Arlington National Cemetery. We’ll do indoor stuff like museums after today because the weather is threatening to turn on us with rain and thunderstorms. The photo above was taken from the Tour Trolley as we passed the Capitol.
Hope all is well…

One of our favorites growing up were Kotlety. We used to call them Russian hamburgers. A recipe for a more Russian version of these is in our cookbook but I wanted to share this recipe that has a Persian twist.
Head over to the Mennonite Girls Can Cook Blog to see the recipe today.

We celebrated Mother’s Day with a brunch prepared for us by our Daughter In Love.
The roses are from Josh and Laura and they also gave me a book by an author I haven’t read before. The fruit bouquet is from our daughter Katie. The past 5 days have been packed full with a trip to B.C. (British Columbia), Mother’s Day, and now we are in D.C. (Washington D.C.).
On the way we saw this and now we’ll be seeing more things like this…
Tonight we are just settling in. We walked to dinner and on our way back we saw this pretty sight…
Tomorrow we’ll jump start our Historic site watch by visiting the Washington National Cathedral.
Hope all is well where you are…
