Hairdressers rule!

Hello everyone!

Today I got my hair done by our new salon technician - and I like it!  She does great work.

This week in the Seattle area is one of our best weeks - the cherry trees are blooming and the skies are basically free of any and all clouds.  While the temperature is still on the cool side, spring is really beginning to show up.

I look forward to Carol & Ken's visit to see me next month.  Who knows, with this hairdo I might just be "stepping out!"

 

Spring is springing!

Hello everyone!

Outside my residence window I am looking at a dogwood tree that is coming into bloom. It has beautiful white blooms on it, along with green foliage starting.   While we keep having schizophrenic weather (sun to rain to hail to snow and back to sun) the trees are working hard to bloom.  Across the parking lot from my residence there are cherry trees beginning to bloom, as illustrated by the picture accompanying this post.  It is still chilly up here but the weather is turning.  I believe our spring is really on its way.

I am well and happy to note that Carol & my son Ken will be coming to visit with me in about a month.  I always look forward to their visits.  My son, Randy, in Tucson is doing well with his shoulder surgery - he was released to go back to work on "light" duty this past week.  One of my other sons, Doug, is now not only out of his cast and his boot, but has begun to take short walks to strengthen his leg that he broke at Christmastime.  Everyone is doing well, including me!

I am sure that the cherry blossoms around here aren't quite as spectacular as those in the other Washington, but we sure have pretty blooms everywhere.  The daffodils are out in full bloom and the tulips are starting to bloom.  Spring is springing!

Easter!

Hello everyone!  Easter was a beautiful day here in the Seattle area.  The sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  Still needs to warm up a bit for me to not feel cold outside, but it was good to sit at the table in the living room and look through the glass at the beautiful weather.  The cherry blossoms are beginning to make their appearance now, too.  I will try to post a picture of some of the lovely blossoms in a future blog post.

Doug & Betty came by with candy and a milkshake for me.  We enjoyed chatting with one of my other sons as well.  The weather was such that the outfit I have on (thanks to Ken & Carol) was perfectly fine to wear without any other jacket.  It is fun to dress more "springy" now!

The weather this week is said to mimic some of what Easter brought, and I intend to enjoy as much of it as I can.  It was even hard to not look out the window yesterday while I was involved in my activities and church service! 

Hope that you can come and visit me soon!
