Fathers day, Mom's Vaca,July4th, Lavender Festival...

Here we are at the lavender festival, always the most relaxing beautiful settings I can think of.,




Linda brought Madison and we stopped and picked up Brian on the way down to Sequim...Always nice to spend a beautiful day in the Northwest with your family.


We stopped at a little Bistro in Sequim and I got a Salmon Cesar salad for lunch...It was delicious... I have had some of the best food, and the best family and friends this last couple of weeks I feel truly blessed.




Linda Madison and I in the Lavender fields..



Brian and I in the lavender fields...





Brian and I by the Nash's Produce Store... in Sequim... they sell a lot of produce down in Seattle to local markets and at the Farmers Markets also...






Madison with the new scrunchies I bought her for her hair.







Linda and I at a great little coffee, Breakfast Lunch shop a couple of miles from Brian's place, we were all starving and this place was delicious...








Grandma enjoying the 4th of July with our family around... We Love you grandma, hope you enjoy seeing all the pictures...









Madison and Grandma on the 4th of July.











Great Picture of Isaac and Grandma on the 4th of July.










What a beautiful Family we have... Love you all!!!












Mom and I took a trip... to the Shop Hop of the Northwest, then we stayed at the ocean for 3 days, We really had a great time... I thought.... Until we got home and mom had a heart attack within a couple of hours of returning home...













Our project for the ocean... all finished!!! New Bags with the shop hop material.















Mom working on the bag in our room....














Just the gorgeous view from our room....

















Isaac, I took a picture of this Crab for you.... thought you would love it...















Me going for a walk by the ocean... It felt so good, It has been a while since I had been at the ocean.




























































I am not sure what it is about MOM and these birds, she loves them and will need this picture to finish a project she started.





















We stayed one night with Joe and Linda and Madison shared a book she wrote with Grandma dedication it to her. She wrote an unbelievably nice dedication to her grandma, that she was her inspiration.... Probably what made her get help when she felt herself having a heart attack.





















I like to call this place the Bates Motel.... Kind of a strip motel for truckers... but it was nice enough, and we were in a perfect spot to start the shop hop at Mom's favorite shop.
























Happy Fathers day Joe....
This was the events I took Pictures of, I have be so busy"
I had a great Brunch at the Volunteer Park Cafe with Bradley and Alison... Always fun to be with my son and his new wife...
I reconnected with my cousin Lynda and her family... I was so nice, I even got to see my Aunt Izola... All happy and well..
I had a facial with Linda and a friend down in capitol hill, at the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute. then we hung out in capitol hill at fun place, sat outside and ate great food and watched the city, and visited till about 10 pm one night, great way to spend an evening..
Had the best food ever with my friend Mary, we went to Bis on Main, in Bellevue.... I don't think I have ever eaten better food... we also sat outside, in old town Bellevue, it was beautiful, didn't look old at all, Great Food, Better friends...
Fit in Shiatsu with Mike, I needed that, Makes me feel better.
Went to a fabulous Wedding Last night for a couple I work with. Carlos and Valerie.
It was at a little church in Enumclaw. Right under Mt. Rainier.. The setting was Beautiful..
Then to an Aunts house (Valerie's Aunt) should I say Estate... It was gorgeous grounds right by a beautiful river... The night was perfect for them.
Life is Good...
