Together in Seattle

August could have been a moping month for me. For the first time, both kids and spouses were living about 2,000 miles away. But on August 3rd, we spent a couple of days together, in Seattle!

Pikes Place Market

Scott and Chali flew in from Sacramento. Heidi and Jamie made the easy drive from Portland.

We had one day to explore a little of downtown. We spent much of it exploring the Market.

Seahurst Beach Park

On another beautiful day, we gathered with my sister's family for yet another wedding celebration. Tobi's ceremony was the 5th wedding that our family has celebrated in 10 months!

Back Home

Scott and Chali flew back to California, then Don and I said good-bye to Heidi and Jamie in their new hometown. As Don and I flew back to Texas, we had a toast to this new chapter.

For the rest of August, we spent time at home. You can't really complain when you live in a sweet city named Sugar Land, where we have great double rainbow sightings!

Happy List

I started this blog, by thinking about the things that make me laugh and smile. My "Photo a Day" posting began on May 27, 2016. I had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and I found I could keep things positive, by sharing some of my favorite photographs. Some were silly and made me laugh. Others were just pleasant or peaceful. After 7 months, I was ready to move on. I had finished chemo and radiation and it was time to focus on other things.

Best of the Month!

On January 1, 2017, I stopped the daily posts and began a monthly practice. At the end of each month, I look back at all the things I enjoyed. Then I share some photos, along with a few words. I'm grateful every day, that my life has returned to normal. Each month, I take some time to think about the best experiences or happiest moments in the weeks before. Still trying to keep it positive!
