And this Ruby Umbrella was at Country Village Also.
Another shot from Bothell along the Sammamish River Trail a couple of Kayakers in ruby Kayaks!

My six weeks in Washington State are winding down. I’m here for 5 more days and then Dear and I hit the long road home to Southern California. My hydrangeas in Washington have reached their full bloom. My hydrangea plant in California is dead by now because Dear forgot to ask our neighbors to water our plants while we’ve been gone. Oops!
One thing that keeps us awake and makes the trip seem shorter from here to there are books on CD. I was so excited to find this at Goodwill and look forward to listening to hours of one of our all time favorites…
This week we’ll be getting in some last minute visits with friends and family here in the Seattle area. Maybe I’ll fit in one more trip to Goodwill. I hope all of you have a great week.

For Fun Monday we are suppose to share our favorite photograph. A lot of my favorite photographs are taken on the walks my husband and I take early in the morning on Saturdays. I have so many favorites I decided to choose the Beach wave category this time and this is one of my favorite captures of a wave at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura, California. I took this photo in February of this year…
The Lurchers are the hosts this week so click on over and see some more Photo Favorites.

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Refrain
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
Refrain
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
Refrain
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
Refrain
For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.
Refrain
For the martyrs’ crown of light,
For Thy prophets’ eagle eye,
For Thy bold confessors’ might,
For the lips of infancy.
Refrain
For Thy virgins’ robes of snow,
For Thy maiden mother mild,
For Thyself, with hearts aglow,
Jesu, Victim undefiled.
Refrain
For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven.
Refrain

Christie and Aaron were married last night oh eight, oh eight, oh eight! I wonder how many weddings there were last night. I was sorry that my camera had a tough time with the dark lighting. There were some fun unique moments during the evening. Aaron and Christie left the sanctuary after they were pronounced husband and wife to…
Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows
Lesley Gore
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you’re near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.
My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
That’s how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that’s wonderful is sure to come your way
When you’re in love to stay.

‘Cause you’re in love, you’re in love,
And love is here to stay!
Then the Father-Daughter dance was quite memorable with Gregg and Christie doing a fun amount of choreography to “My Girl”. Ha! They deserved a standing ovation for that one.
They had a fun Cupcake Cake and a Candy Bar with chocolates and sour candy. See the cute Pez dispenser Bride and Groom on top?
All the “Sunrise” girls together at Christie’s wedding. Everyone thought she’d be married first but Heidi beat her to the altar.
Ellen b, Katie and Abbey a fellow blogger decided we needed a photo together. Us bloggers need to stick together. Then there’s Katie and Jan waiting for the ceremony to begin. Katie with her friends Heidi and Kristen. Last but not least Dear and Me.
Aaron has a huge collection of Pez dispensers and someone got very creative with the get-away car…
Enjoy your new life together Christie and Aaron. It was fun to see you get married!

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound
On a little thrifting excursion I had this week I found these pretties for Tea! Both Cups are made in England.
These depression glass Salt and Pepper shakers are from some items that came down to me from Dear’s Great, great, Aunt Emma.
I spotted this last Pretty Pink Umbrella at a Boutique in Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle.
Look at all the pretty details.
Happy Pink Saturday everyone. I hope to hop around to all your blogs soon…

So guess where I took my little sister Lana G! for her belated birthday lunch today?
We went to Madam Fifi’s Tea Room in Bothell at Country Village. I was wanting to share this Tea Room with Lana and since this is a rare day when we are both in Washington at the same time we took the opportunity. We were both delighted with the Grand Tea.
I thought it was great that we have a few old photos of times in the past where you happened to be at our house on your birthday! Get ready…
This one was in Ventura. I don’t know where Dan is…
This one is in Bothell. Looks like you were 7. That’s probably a Blackberry Birthday Pie made from Blackberries you all picked.
On Norway Hill again and I think I count 8 candles here.
Happy Birthday Melissa. Hope you enjoy your birthday events from morning till night!
And Let The Games Begin!! Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics ~
