I am cheating with my photo today. Instead of one, I'm doing 3. I snagged a postcard app for the iPhone and couldn't help but play around with it. Not only was it warm and beautiful, but the Seattle Cheese Festival was going on at Pike Place. It made for some nice photo ops!!

Once in a blue moon, I take a picture out of desperation. This was one such picture. I was sent home from work early and as I was driving home, I glanced at the clock. It was 11:56pm and I realized I hadn't taken a photo for the day! So I pulled into an office building parking lot and took this shot of my headlights reflecting off the building. Not very creative, but hey, I got the shot!!

I met with some friends for lunch today and this is the 7-layer salad I took to share. It was quite delicious, as was all of the other fare we enjoyed! The company and conversation were even better!

Part of my kitchen... need I say more? :-)

The weather has gotten warm enough to bring out the deck chairs. At night, we bring the cushions inside so that they don't get rained on or dirty. My oldest son was rearranging them in the house and proudly declared, "I do believe I have perfected the art of couch making!" We had to laugh!

I did a little bit of late-night grocery shopping and as I left the store, I looked up and saw our beloved flag hanging overhead and couldn't help but pause as I felt a sense of patriotism.

This rose is very special to me. I received it in church for Mothers Day and I enjoyed it all day long. But near the end of the day, I received the news that something tragic had happened to another woman... something that should never, ever happen to a woman, but especially not on Mothers Day. So this flower was turned over to help another through a time of sadness and despair. I pray that her heart will heal. I am unbelievably blessed with such a rich existence.
