Washington Weekend
Yay for Washington! We loved laying eyes on my dad and my mom! We saw my sister, two brothers, and their dear spouses for a little bit. They spent the weekend snow shoeing in the mountains. Beautiful!
Do you like my mom's owl sweater? She was talking here, not praising although she DOES have a very praise-y spirit about her!
Bill talks with his hands, too! Smile.
The valley is always stunning, even with fog.
My niece and I did zip out to the shore on Sunday. I love the blue so blue.
When we flew home, the view out the airplane window was glorious. God made.
My mom had these out on her porch. Even though it is supposed to reach 68 degrees in Denver today, we can't have flowers on porches yet. It IS winter.
How is YOUR January going? Does it feel sort of quiet and steady?
On the cards: just a little thinking, some verse, ordinary day stuff. Thank God for ordinary days.

The photo out the airplane window doesn't even look REAL! Amazing. God has placed so much beauty in the world -- quietly, but it shouts to the eyes. So glad you got to go and have a lovely time with family.
AMEN, Sister, thank God for ordinary days!
Wonderful trip for you and the hub. Glad you had good visits and know you had good times. Nine degrees here!
I love your pics :)
L.x.
Wonderful pics, and so good you got to see your folks! Loving those spotty shoes in your blog background, PP! :)
My January is long and very quiet.
Big hugs to you! xxx
glad you got to soak in some great family time. nothing better...
Thank you, everyone! The views were so lovely! MK! I thought the same thing as I gazed at the tops of the mountains.
Tina, I agree. It's best and good to go slow in January. I wish I had my knitting here at school (I'm on my lunch break!)
I'm knitting wool socks and freezing!!!Just an ordinary day in January. Washington State is gorgeous any time of the year. Wish it was porch flower time here.
I just love that photo of your dad! Thank you for sharing him. ;-)
Oh Miss Pom I have missed you over my break. I smiled the moment I opened your page and saw those gorgeous spotty dot high heels everywhere ! lol
It looks like you have had a beautiful time away with your lovely family. I am so happy that you went to the waters edge. I love nothing more then living close to the sea. That view from the plane was stunning ! It's a great photo, claps for you !
Are you back at school yet ? My 4 little 'dears' go back next week. It has been so nice to sleep in every day and not pack lunches or rush around. I will miss them when they are not with me everyday. By the way I LOVE Primulas. Especially white ones so claps to your Mum for growing them on her porch. They are very pretty.
Here's to another year of friendship xo
Hi Bonnie! I know! I can't wait for flowers outside!
Will you show us the socks you are knitting?
Hi Gretchen! Yes, I love my papa. I'm glad you like the looks of him, too!
Hi Melanie! Really? It's time for the kids to go back to school? Oh, it will take a while to get used to the new routine, I know!
I love all of your photos! That is so lovely you were able to visit with your parents and family. I'm sure you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for sharing about it. My January has been wonderful so far! We are enjoying spending time with little Parker...he brings such joy to our life! The miracle of grandchildren. :)
oh lovely pictures so neat to get to see your folks(:)
and thanks on my pouty girl (:)
hugggggssssss
Ordinary days are wonderful. I am so glad you got to run home for a bit.
I love your photos. Yep, we talk with hands around here too.
As always I enjoy your posts and your thoughts.
Mine right now are filled with hearts. :) Have a wonderful day.
What a lovely trip you enjoyed! Sigh. And I love how well your parents look. How do they do that?
So happy you got to have a nice visit with the family! Your parents are so cute! I've been missing you and should have remembered you were going on a trip. Glad you're back home.
Love seeing your parents--they remind me of you!
Gorgeous, gorgeous scenes--those mountains from the air are unreal!

Dad is so handsome :) You're beautiful! What a wonderful set of parents :)
You are so good at touching base (hearts) with your family Pom. Your parents are real treasures. Talking with hands is good..it's expressive & enthusiastic. I am glad you got to visit your ocean. I can't imagine not being able to have any flowers at all in winter..eek! Much love Katie x0x0x
Oh the sea! I miss my Oregon beaches. Soon. But not soon enough. Glad you had such a nice trip. Aren't our mountains so lovely in the winter? I will get to see ours tomorrow with all their snow. You have a great weekend! Kit
Washington is a beautiful state, just like I knew it'd be. So glad you had a good visit with your parents.
Beautiful pics! Glad you got to see your folks!
Hi Everybody! Thank you for stopping in! I can't believe a whole week has scurried by since my last post.
What an beautiful view out of the plane! Flowers on the porch!? *Sigh* It will be awhile before we see that here.
Blessings!
Deborah
