Washington in February

Look at this little cutie - isn't she the sweetest 3-year old around? Can you believe I only took a couple of pictures when we were in Washington - I didn't even get a picture of our "STAR".
We went for breakfast almost every morning with this lovely young lady. When DeAnn and I went to this cute little new boutique in Lynden, I had her try this hat on. I thought it looked so cute on her but she wouldn't buy it so I did. Happy 41st Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did, however, take some pictures from the plane. The pilot said we would be flying directly over Mount Rainer, which I have only seen from the plane. It seems to be clouded over a lot when we've been in Seattle. The pilot also said that off to the right was Mt. St. Helens. You can see very clearly where the volcano blew - it was off to the side. I had always thought it blew from the top but that is not the case.
These are Mt. St. Helens:





This is Mount Rainer - tallest mountain in Washington. Very majestic!!!

DeAnn says she can see beauty in all types of locales, such as the prairies of the Midwest; the mountains of the West and the oceans and rivers. However, she has tried to tell me there is no beauty in the desert - well, she's WRONG!!!! These pictures were taken from the car window so they are a very poor representation of the beauty of the desert. I love driving through on our way to or from Mesa. In a few weeks, there will be lots of wildflowers blooming so it will be even more beautiful. What do you all think?



These really are poor pictures but I'll take some better ones when Marv and Judy are here. They're coming this evening and we're anxious to show them around our "home away from home."
That's it for this week. I will try very hard to take more pictures. I have some videos of Holly's play but I don't know how to post them. Will work on it.
Love to all
Gramma and MOM
