A day on the farm

We took 2 hour drive to Yakima to see my brother, sister-in-law, and darling nephew. They were up from Arizona staying with my sister-in-law's parents who live on a farm - so much fun!


Cohen and I fed the "dinkey" (miniature donkey).


And he had Paul working as his personal raspberry picker.

It was so great to spend time with family - thanks guys!

Lucky girl

I am such a lucky girl! I was gone for three days for a conference in Denver and what did I come home to? My wonderful husband, a clean house, and fresh flowers everywhere!


On the table...


In the kitchen...


On the bed...


Even in the bathroom!

I have the best husband in the world!!!

Happy 4th!

Our 4th of July tradition is to take the bus down to Gasworks Park, hang out on the grass and watch the fireworks. The weather was not so great this year, but we braved the rain and headed down there anyway. We had fun, but decided that it was not quite as fun to hang out in the rain than the sunny weather of years past. So we packed up and headed home, spread our picnic blanket out in front of the TV and watched the fireworks show from our cozy living room.

Looks like we've created a new tradition!
