The Most Fabulous Weekend!

We had such a great weekend! It's finally summer here and the past week has been gorgeous! Not too hot, but sunny with a lovely breeze and bright blue skies~Bliss!

Brian worked on the 4th so he came home Thursday afternoon and took Friday as his holiday. It was  a gorgeous night so we went to Bellingham to have dinner at the Hearth Fire, on the water. What a view! Bellingham Bay, the San Juans and so many sailboats!

And what can be better than dessert in a jar?

Friday we did some garage saling, yard work...mowing, weeding, weed whacking, laundry on the line and a little prep work for a BB-Q with friends. Roger, Lynda and family and Doug, Terry and family came over for burgers, s'mores and a swim. It was a great night! The adults enjoyed time around the fire while the kids swam in the pond for hours! And I must say that it wasn't the warmest of nights! Ah, to be young and carefree!!!

The pond is so clean and weed free this year, thanks to our 3 grass carp....they've really stepped up this year! Wish the pond had been this nice when our kids wanted to swim in it!!!

It was so joyous to hear the laughter and splashing that was going on~smiles on our faces!!

The master griller and his buddies!!!

Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market in Bellingham. We usually go once every year or two. Not really our thing, but nice to be in the crowd!!!

This lady had  a great display of wonderful teas, and was quite the saleslady!! Love the vintage suitcases.

I had fun watching this guy. He was pretty amazing with his tossing! He did, however, take a nibble once in awhile and didn't wear gloves! Didn't seem to bother anyone else, as he had quite the line-up for his amazing looking pizza's!

I have coveted this little truck for years! This guy operates a shave ice stand out of the truck and is at a lot of festivals around the area. This truck is pristine!!

Inside and out!

Look at those windows!!! Boy, howdy, would I like one of these!! You can't be anything but happy when you're out and about in this baby!!

We did some more garage saling in Bellingham and went to the re-store before heading home. We had another BB-Q with some of Brian's family that afternoon. Ashleigh and Brady came too and stayed a little later. We had some wonderful salmon, played corn holes and ended with fresh strawberries and ice cream!

This is so long already, I'll save the rest for later!

Hope you had a great weekend too!!!

A Gorgeous Day!

I had a doctor's appointment in Bellingham yesterday. Just routine, but since I was there I thought I 'd do a little shopping/browsing as I don't get down there very often. I went to The Greenhouse and saw this pretty little (big) chair. Very comfy!!! We have a smaller version of this chair. It belonged to Brian's grandparents and now we have it!! We had it recovered, but now I want it to look like this!!!

I went to a couple of antique stores also, but not a thing to be had:( It will save us another trip Lynda!!!!

I also went to a soap making supply store called Otion. They have a ton of different scents that you can add to your soaps and lotions. I've been making my own laundry soap and wanted to make it smell good instead of the neutral smell that it is! I got my favorite: oatmeal, milk and honey; grass stain, which smells like fresh grass; sage and lemon grass; and fresh snow, which kind of smells like a mild Tide. Hope it works!! If not, I'll just use it when I make regular soap! I drove past Bellingham Bay and it was so beautiful!! The water looks tropical!! So many colors!

It was about 60 degrees outside, the sun was shining, and the view outstanding!!

This morning the fog was over the fields, the sun was shining and Mt. Baker was out in all her glory! Pictures of that are on the other camera, however!!!

Off to work now! Enjoy the day!!
