Norah's 3rd Birthday

There was a birthday party yesterday to celebrate Norah's 3rd birthday. (She will actually be 3 on the 22nd.) She had a great time...seems lots of folks decided she would like 'play dress up clothes'......she had to try everything on and looked adorable.

Fishing at the Fair

Alissa and I took Norah and Elliott to the Puyallup Fair on Saturday. Whew! That is a lot of work! There was a Northwest building where the kids could fish for trout. They had a great time. Here are some fishing pictures.

Visit

I had a nice visit with my brother Bill and his wife Carolyn on Sunday.

Cleaning the Garage........

Alissa was having a Yard Sale last weekend......so she offered to help me clean my garage. The cleaning was needed BADLY!! I forgot to take a before picture of the garage but you can tell by the TWO CARLOADS of stuff she hauled away what it might have looked like BEFORE!!

Fun on Hood Canal

Yesterday was a picture perfect day in the Pacific Northwest. A friend invited some gals to spend the day out on her boat in the waters of Hood Canal. It was a DELIGHTFUL day! Thank you Sharon.

My ADORABLE Grandchildren!!

I had a fun overnight visit with my Puyallup family this week. We went to a concert in the park (The Coats....very good), a story hour at the library, a playground and just had fun "cuddling" at home. Elliott, Norah and Simon are just ADORABLE...(that is "Grandma Speak"!)

Red Hat Picnic

My Red Hat group celebrated it's 6th birthday with a fun filled picnic at the lake. Our group is called the "Lively Ladies of the Lake". I have included a picture of the group that attended. MANY of our members had other summer activities such as vacations, company and even jury duty so they could not attend.
