Candy Man

Grampa Moe is known to many as the "Candy Man" because he's always sharing his assorted candies. Sunday was his 80th birthday so we decided to give him the ultimate sweet tribute.

Happy Birthday to Moe, Dan, Madison, & Dana!

Glorious

Those rain clouds hung with us for hours on our drive to Eastern Washington last weekend. We didn't mind because we knew where we were going they wouldn't survive.

Beautiful Columbia River Valley. . .this was our view for the next two days. (Thanks Cheri and Steve) Those scared-y-cat clouds. . hardly showed their faces at all.


Return trip home via Chinook Pass and Mt. Rainier National Forest. . .this is one of my favorite drives. . .it takes your breath away when you come around that turn to see a 15,000 ft mountain waiting to show her beauty.

In Loving Memory. . . .

This morning we received the sad news that someone we love dearly passed away yesterday. The end of June brought her 83rd birthday and we really expected she would live to celebrate 20 more. She is the smile at every celebration, the contagious giggle behind beautiful sparkling eyes. Always gorgeous with her fashion and incredible platinum hair (natural of course), her memory was the best for sharing funny and heartwarming stories. Although she is Mom to our sister-in-law, Cheri, she is part of all our families. We will miss her terribly.

This past weekend was the national convention for SENSARIA. It's always such a positive experience for me to connect with so many incredible people. Uplifting, inspirational, and desire provoking . . .it's not really about the lotion. Although I must admit, the new product launch has a high thrill factor in the "incredible blend of science and new technology" category! Erupting news for sure!

Happy 4th!

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Independence Day!

If you haven't already heard of this site. . .give yourself a treat and stop in. My friend, Emily, shared it with us at coffee several weeks ago, mainly because she has a passion for pups and this site has great posts about Chuck and Coco. The "daily"s are fun too. Enjoy!
