Mother’s Day 2010 ~

 

Mother’s Day was such a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest! We took a drive to Camano Island in the morning to enjoy a Mother’s Day Brunch together. My daughter’s boyfriend was here from Florida and joined us. The views from the Inn where we had our Mother’s Day Buffet were spectacular!

 

We are looking across to Whidbey Island and the Olympics beyond.

 

Later in the day my son and DIL arrived and the kids and Dear each had a hand in preparing dinner for all of us. Don’t you just love to see men working in the kitchen! I was showered with gifts and thank God for His blessings of  love and grace that He gives me through my family.

 

Thank you Dear, Josh, Laura, Katie and Dan for honoring me….

Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.

Flashback to the Summer Olympics 1984!

For my Canadian friends, especially Marg who is going to experience the Winter Olympics in her own backyard and Susanne who kind of  missed the torch going through her city, I decided to pull up this photo of my husband with an Olympic Torch from the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. I’ll have to dig up some photos of him doing his actual run in Ontario, California. He entered the chance to represent his company and his name was drawn. It really was an exciting time for our family.

We also were able to see some Olympic rowing events at Lake Casitas.

Today I’m off running to take care of some things for Dear and then I’m driving across town again for an evening event with my family. Hoping the rain doesn’t interfere too much with my visibility while I’m driving. It doesn’t mist here in Southern California or rain lightly like in Washington. Rain here is always an event of ginormous proportions and ramifications…

UPDATE: ellen b. is staying put at her condo. We cancelled our event in Huntington Beach because the weather is deteriorating and a tornado watch has been issued! Yikes..

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

08-08-08 ~ Happy Birthday Melissa!

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 ~

 

Have a great Weekend Everyone…

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage on their site and have replaced my photos with black and grey boxes of ugliness. I’m slowly deleting those boxes from my blog and trying to update so many posts, very frustrating.
