Sea Views

I'm back from Washington!  The flights and shuttles were easy.  I knit in the airport and on the plane.  

I met my brother's family goats.  

I walked a fun trail with my sister in law.  This area is called Bayview. 
We went to Guemes Island. 




Every day we had iPad lessons.  My mom is such a good learner.  It didn't take long for her to understand and enjoy her new iPad.

 I need a little time to regroup because it's almost my birthday month and I plan on happy birthday-ing myself quite a bit.  My new bike came and it's beautiful!  I can ride faster and follow different paths.  I sing while I ride (when there aren't a bunch of people around).  It's gleeful, I tell you!

I shall make a list of September doings.  What are you going to do?  Could you buy yourself a few school supplies?  Maybe you need a new backpack?  How about a new cardigan?  The garden is begging me to pull things up and make more room.  I have a lot of new Norwex cloths for fall cleaning.  We have children's musicals every weekend.  Wow.  I'm realizing September is going to be very full.  I think my birthday partying might be hard to squeeze in.  Maybe I should bake and eat my cake now.

Are you sad to say good bye to August?  

Thank you for popping in.  I'll be back soon with news of The Jolly Postman and his trip around the USA and then across the pond.  

God be with you!

Your trip to see relatives sounds like fun, and nice your mom is learning so quickly. I see you are a September baby like my sister.

Welcome home, I missed you 😊The first wool picture made me smile. I'm glad you had a good time. Your Mom is inspiring. Happy birthday month. England is already feeling Autumnal, we had our first log fire this week and the heating has been on! All seasons are good. God bless you. x

What a wonderful time you had. Has your Mama settled into her new place ok? It looks lovely. You're going to be busy, come September! Loving your new yarn, what is it? Have a good settling-in time. I wanted to buy a new bike and when I told my sister about it, she said 'oh don't you go buying a new bike, you're apt to fall off it and break something'! which put paid to my enthusiasm. Tons of love to you. xxx

What nice pictures. I am glad you are going to take a month for your birthday. I bet you are so busy.
I love September and school supplies, but I have bought a lot of them in August.
Nope, not sad to say good bye to August.
I hope you have a wonderful day riding your bike. :)

Your mom looks cool with her new iPad. It's nice that she's a fast learner. Your trip sounds wonderful. I can't believe that September is around the corner already. August was busy but wonderful for me.
Enjoy the weekend.
Hugs, Julia

What a super trip, and in such lovely scenery. I reminds me a little of Cornwall.
It's becoming Autumnal here and the warmth of Summer is no longer with us, sadly.

Glad you had such a nice time on your holiday.
I used to like to bike ride but there are just way too many HILLS around here. Hard to believe Aug is coming to an end already.

Glad your trip was easy and that you had such a good time with your family especially your dear mom. So September is your birthday month. It is Dear's birthday month, too. I'm not sad to see August go. September and October have lots of fun events for us to look forward to. Hope the rest of your weekend goes well!

Your photos are beautiful dear Pom Pom. Your Mum is amazing to still be doing & enjoying all that she is. Have a lovely day my friend xx

Kit said...

I'm glad you had such a great trip! I love the photos. So lovely. No school supplies for me but we're yard saling and finding treasures. Enjoying the rest of our summer! Kit

Good to hear you had a lovely time visiting your Mom and other family members. I think the weather was perfect ( at least up here it was).
Yay for your new bike. I just know you'll have lots of great rides.

Good morning, Pom Pom! Your September sounds happy!!! Lots to do. Yes, I am so so relieved that August is nearly done, and we can head into autumn, which I want to pass V E R Y slowly. (I nearly typed "glowly," which would be a nice word for autumn!) I love that knitting up there at the top. Very pretty stitches. Glad you had a lovely visit with family up there among those magical islands and swishy beaches. Your mom looks like a dear :)

Bonnie K said...

It looks like a wonderful trip. I live the little cabin. You sound busy. I'm glad your mom likes her iPad.

Jeanie said...

That yarn is so darned happy! And I love the goats. It sounds like a wonderful vacation!

Lisa Richards said...

Washington is still beautiful! Glad you had fun with your mom and family! I'm looking forward to the cooler weather of fall. Have a great birthday month! You share my hubby's birthday, I believe. :) Go ahead and bake that cake! Can't wait to hear more about the adventures of The Jolly Postman! Hugs!

The goats - so cute! That yarn is a gorgeous colour. What a wonderful trip you must have had. We still have two more weeks at least of lockdown but hopefully we will be able to plan some trips soon. It seems like forever since I have seen anyone!

Maggie said...

looks like you had a great trip, beautiful scenery there. I have bought myself a jigsaw of Positano, Italy, my first jigsaw ever! That's what I'll be doing in September.

I love the virtual whiff of fresh sea air I am getting from your pictures, Pom Pom!

My Colorado people have arrived in California today! I wonder when you return... May God bless you on your birthday <3

Oh dear, I'm very late to this tea party. Maybe I could some cake crumbs from under your table?! Bayview made me smile- it's the name of a famous hotel right beside the sea on our north coast. All the trendy people go there. I have been inside once in my life!

I bought myself a school dress. Intended it to be a daily uniform to avoid having to think much about to wear, but also to keep all my other clothes covid clean! However, when it came it was the most sublime garment I have ever pulled over my head! So now it's my Sunday gown and the rest are covid clothes.

Maybe I should join the Norwex revolution? A friend is a rep. We bought lots of their masks and the boys prefer them to my handsewn ones. Sigh!
