there's no place like home ..

sweet time was had in the seattle area.

while rocky worked, i played.

spent one day with a childhood friend,

dodging raindrops, eating out, antiquing and thrifting.

the next was spent with dEby from apples to gold,

basking in sunshine, eating out, antiquing and thrifting.

treasures found, hearts shared, tummies full. there was one day in the hotel by myself, resting, walked to marlene's for an amazing salad lunch, evenings with rocky, we spent part of a day in the heart of 

seattle with my hub, and a travel day. lotsa days.

{{{ wonderment }}}

. but .

. there's no place like home .

returning home last night, we quickly unpacked and changed into jammies. i whipped up some scrambled eggs with saute'd red onion, cream cheese, and seasonings. oh, and made a little stack of biscuits to go along ... so good to eat our own food after a week of eating out .. though eating out *is* a treat!

i really enjoyed being with rocky on one of his trips. i also really enjoyed spending time with my childhood friend, karen; it's been many years and we picked up where we left off {true friends}. she's a florist and took a day off from her very busy schedule to pal around with the likes of me. twenty-three {& a half} years ago she did the flowers for my wedding!

and i loved meeting dEby and spending time with her in Port Orchard and having a tea lunch at debbie macomber's tea room{!}. curry chicken salad..thud. dEby's a sweetheart through and through and dragged me {kicking and screaming..right} to awesome places full of treasures. here's a picture of us:

and so .. laundry is my focus this morning. and buying a few grocery items. and maybe even taking a nap on the couch. i may even go look at a bed for our future furr-baby. we'll adopt through a golden retriever rescue organization that really takes care of the dogs, meeting health needs and assessing their behavior to ensure proper placement. we appreciate the extra care.

as mentioned in my last post, our home visit is monday morning. they'll ensure our home and yard is safe, 

and that we're normal {uh oh...}. 

the latter might be a problem area. wink.

bless you dearly,
