Saying Goodbye for Now

Saying goodbye is never all that fun.  We drove out to Coeur d alene to help Stephen pack up and head back to New Orleans.  When I say we I mean Mike.  I wasn't any help at all.  Easy Rider here rode his motorcycle and I thought I better hold off from riding mine for a while.  Katie and I drove.  

JD and Katie.  Stephen had lots of packing helpers!

Father and Son!  Handsome guys! Stephen's shirt says Love Life and Mike's says Praise.  Good combination if you ask me.

The Hazel family.  Nicest people ever!  Tony and Stephen are great friends.

Jimmy is Stephen's uncle.  Nice man.

Katie and Kyle!

Here I am in my most common position these days.  I was especially tired on this day.   Busy weekend.

A little man bonding with Tony, Jimmy and Stephen!

Katie and I left and got lunch in Coeur d alene.  I always take a picture of the food but I forgot.   SOOOOO you get to see a picture of a couple of empty plates.  The food was delicious!  A burger and fries for me and a turkey sandwich for Katie.

I love you Stephen, Michel and Rivers.  I look forward to seeing you again for sure!

Quick to Seattle for the Doctor

We had some time in between the brain scan and the doctors appointment so we headed down to Pikes Place Market.  After we went to the doctor's appointment we got a tour of where Katie works.  We are so proud of her. Sometimes I wonder why I take the pictures I do but here it is.  A hanging hot dog.  Looks almost real.

 They always have such beautiful flowers.  I wonder if they sell all of these daily?  Not like you can keep them around for a week.

Handsome Mr. Gleason

 Does it look like I am clinging to the box to help me stay upright?

 Sorry but this looks gross!

 We were informed by the person that took this picture that this wasn't the original Starbucks.  The story was the original was a few blocks down and I think she said it caught fire.  They rebuilt in this location.  Hey, it is good enough for me.  It is the original.

Although I didn't love the drive to Seattle and back I was thrilled with the results.  The scan looked good and I can start exercising within reason.  I will take it easy.  It is not like I am bursting with energy!  Thank you God for this miracle!

The Many Faces of Lucy

I watched Lucy while Kristin had a booth at a craft show a few weeks back.  Kristin did great.  We did too.  Here she is snuggling with grandpa!

Of course my camera was out and Lucy enjoyed every minute of the picture taking.  "Take a picture of me Grandma"!  She is a girl of many faces!

 Cute smile!  Totally posed but cute!

 She got the dogs involved in the photo shoot!  Rocky didn't mind a bit.

Bear was indifferent!   He looked the other way every time she came near but he put up with it.

 She had Bear trapped.

 Kisses for Rocky.

 Bear looks strained here.

 Ah Rocky is so easy.

 Finally a candid shot.  Both the girls love this track!

We had fun hanging out together!  Can't wait to do it again!
