Gregg and I worked in our yard on Saturday, raking maple, sweet gum and hydrangea leaves, and pruning rugosa rose bushes. Gregg then suggested a spur-of-the moment trip to the city, so we showered and dressed for a date. I love going out on dates with him!
We called my brother and sister-in-law and invited them to meet us for dinner at one of Tom Douglas's excellent restaurants called Serious Pie. It's a pizza place, and while they take their cuisine seriously, the atmosphere is anything but. It was great fun, the food was delicious, and we shared a lot of laughs with Jim and Caroline.
Yesterday, we brought Gregg's parents over to our house for lunch, and enjoyed the pure winter light and sunshine, looking out of the windows as we visited. Then we drove them home, and took a walk on the south end of Bainbridge Island, where we saw ferries passing in front of Mt. Rainier and Blake Island. The beauty of this world is a gift for us to enjoy every day, if we are able to slow down, look, savor...and give thanks!

Sounds nothing short of perfect. I am looking forward to Burrata's and the sauna at Green Cat and on the way back we are planning to stop and get a couple of gallons of Olympias to bring home. Hugs from here, and my boyfriend is a treasure, not that you don't already know that :)
One of these days, I'm going to shock you by showing up at your doorstep. I so want to be a recipient of your loving hospitality!
I enjoyed your photos so much. My daughter and her fiance live in Seattle....if you like art she is doing her own show in Seattle that just began today.
We haven't been to Seattle in too long....wish we were closer.
The last photo with Mt. Rainier in the backgrounds was gorgeous!
One of the things that I admire most about your family; this love affair with you and Gregg. IT is the best. The GLUE!!!!
Pike place market...this is a place I see on the Travel channel Karen!
One day I am coming...and I expect some serious pie and later, Burrista!!!!!!
Prepare.
I love to read of you and Greg's wonderful and companionable relationship. You are so blessed with that! And I never tire of hearing of your part of the world -- it just sounds so fantastic.
Beautiful pictures and times. Thankyou for sharing them here.
You live in an extravagantly beautiful place. A date with your Gregg has got to be one of the very best ways to enjoy it. Lucky you, blessed girl.
