Lazy Saturday

 

My Dad went back to Pennsylvania yesterday. I had so much fun while he was here. I really wish I lived closer to my family. Some highlights of the visit were:

+ Dinner at Palisades
+ Hardwicks Hardware
+ Dog Park with Annie
+ Climbing at REI
+ French Bakery
+ Elliot Bay Books
+ Magic Mouse Toys
+ Chateau Ste. Michelle
+ Barking Frog lunch
+ Oddfellows breakfast
+ last dinner at Metro Grill
+ Boathouse Cafe cheese
+ wine, wine and more wine
+ Dad meeting all my pets and of course Philip
+ hanging out with my dad in Seattle


I have never eaten so much food in one week in my entire life. To go back to eating my Kashi cereal and veggie salads will be a little hard. My Dad really spoiled me this week with some of the best meals. It was good to get out and see more Seattle. I really need to explore more often, it is so much fun to do new things here.

+ breakfast in bed
+ reading in the bath
+ clean towels

I can't believe today is only Tuesday. Tonight was another great night out with my Dad. We went to Dahlia's Lounge downtown. I had unbelievability good salmon and the best pear tart ever. My Dad's trip to Seattle has gone by so quickly. I can't believe he will be leaving in a few days. I wish that Pennsylvania and Washington were closer. I miss my family more and more.

The top picture is of a print that Bethany sent me a few weeks ago. (Bethany you're the best!) I wish I could have a pet grey fox to read books to at night. I am so proud that Philip and I finally got around to hanging pictures in this apartment, it really makes it feel about like home.

The cat pin is a gift my Dad gave me tonight at dinner, it is adorable and looks like my cats! I am officially a crazy cat lady but I wouldn't be happy any other way.

The Pinnacle

 

I climbed the Pinnacle at the REI store yesterday and it was incredible. It is the highest that I've climbed so far. The Pinnacle is 65 freaking feet tall. I didn't think I was going to make it to the top but everyone kept telling me to keep going up. My leg started shaking and my hands were so slick it was hard to hold onto the wall.

I had such a wonderful weekend with my Dad. We went to so many places and ate so much food. I would write in more detail but I am exhausted. Tomorrow is my first day back at work, after 10 days off, so I better get some rest. I wish this vacation didn't have to end.

Oh good golly

 

 

 

I started my vegetable garden seeds yesterday. They have been basking in the glow of a UV light all day today. I can't wait for them to sprout.

I got The Gentle Art of Domesticity at the library yesterday. It has the most beautiful photos and information on just about everything I love from baking to gardening. I'm just a few pages in but I'm enjoying it so far.

My Dad is in Seattle. I picked him up at the airport today. We're meeting in a few hours to have dinner at the Boat Street Cafe.

Good TV night

 

 

 

 

Can you find all three cats in the first photo?

The last few days of vacation have been great. A lot of sleeping in and watching Tv followed by garden shopping and goodwill trips. Tomorrow is my last offical vaction day and my dad is coming to town!! I'm pretty excited to say the least. Tomorrow I have plans to finish a pile of sewing and spend some quality time with a few cook books.
