BINGO!!!
One of my all time favorite pastime is playing BINGO!!! I know...I'm an old lady! I haven't gone for awhile now because I hardly ever win. I brought my mom with me cause I know she gets pretty bored at home. We played for about 3 hours and I always get a machine and a [...]

Welcome aboard the Darlin' Marlin. It was a clouding day but that didn't stop any of us from going on the 53 foot yacht and venturing out into Lake Washington. Our "Captain Dave" was funny and offered insights and local tidbits about the lake. We were celebrating my dear friends Muriel and Melanie's 30th birthday [...]

UNDER THE SEA
Today is my first outing since my discharge from the hospital. I’m easily exhausted so I can’t be on my feet for too long which is why I prefer to stay home. My family made plans to go to the Seattle Aquarium today. I’m sure they’re tired of being cooped up in the house. As [...]

Today is my last day of freedom before my pre-surgery prep work. What better way to spend it than on Lake Washington! Thanks to my good friend Devin who took me out on his family boat “Island Stream” and sailed me away from all my stress. Although the weather wasn’t all that great, I still [...]
