Tuesday was amazing. The like of which I have never seen in America before. Everyone was full of nervous energy and perfect strangers were first partners in anticipation and then in celebration. I yelled myself hoarse with joy, and I was not alone. It was certainly a big day for America. They…

I left Korea at 6:40pm  in the evening on the 18th and get home at 12:30 pm the afternoon of the 18th. It's always weird traveling across the international date late and repeating a day.Home...it feels good to be back! My youngest son and his girlfriend pick me up at the airport. When we get t…

I saw on my updates that Vivian was coming to Seattle. I welcomed her to the site and told her if i could be of help on her upcoming trip to let me know. She said she would love to meet if possible and other questions were asked/answered for local info and to do list. When the time came for he…

When I got back to my friend's apartment in Seattle, I was exhausted. I laid down to rest for a little bit and ended up sleeping for a few hours. It was evening when I woke up so we went to get dinner and then went out in Capitol Hill. We went into the first bar we could find that didn't appear to …

Twenty years ago today the Berllin wall fell. What a great day for the world. What a great visit it has been. Other than Saturday, the rain went away and I got to take some great photos. My favorite highlights of the trip would be the Space Needle and Cape Flattery and Hobuck Beach at Olympi…

Yeah, just when my mothering instincts were getting the best of me, I had an eye-awakening moment and saw what life could have been like (I know only for a day, but...) if I chose to have children.My sister in law had a neighborhood support group to attend. It was the first meeting and these were a…

About three weeks worth of Waterfall hunting. From California north through Oregon, Washington, then through Idaho and Monatana and Glacier National Park. Then south through Idaho, and Nevada before coming home.

NOTE: just wanted to let y'all know this is the journaling entries I wrote while I was on my trip. I tried to journal about each day either ON that day, or the following day. This is why some of the "Journal Log Times" are the next day. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and actions! I am trying …

Another of Anita’s (aelder2259) wonderfully manipulated photos was one of her father that she had placed onto another that made it look like he had just fallen from the top of a many storied building.  I looked at the great job and wondered if I could do anything with it.  Ah, I finally…

As we strolled through the city, we created a little game called the "Starbucks Game".As you walked the streets, the first person to spot a Starbucks Coffee Shop would call out "Starbucks!". For each one you see you gain one letter to spell the word: S-T-A-R-B-U-C-K-S.   The winner get…

Ok, here are the long awaited photos of my early years. I don’t have a lot of time to go into all the details right now, but take a look at some of the clothes. Can you believe has quickly fashion has evolved. I am talking about that white tux.   Graduation was a blast, water skiing is a …

We happen to have family in Seattle who were able to show us around to all the great spots.  I found this city to be quite welcoming.  I really liked the laid back vibe.  I got to do some great shopping in Seattle.  I especially loved shopping at Nordstrom's Fla…

A 25 hour train trip to Seattle, Washington. The Pacific NorthWest is so lush and beautiful, amazingly it only drizzled once the entire week...and that was at the end of our day trip to Victoria, Canada. Lots of good food there, had Thai one night and Ethiopian food the next. Some really great bubble tea too!!

My business is really begining to take off. It seems that each and every time I have the opportunity to talk about my business, I find someone who has a need for the products I sell. I get the opportunity to attend motivational rallies almost every weekend and there I get to talk with and share inf…

Brendan, (pogmahone85) had a birthday on Aug 30th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope he is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a …
