moon – Surprised By Joy

“A house is made with walls and beams. A home is built with love and dreams.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Coming home from my business trip last week, I got in late Friday night. So I woke up to the beautiful sunrise (featured photo) and a weekend with my precious kids. I got to sit on the floor and played Lincoln Logs and trucks, hear about all the new ways to make friendship bracelets and was reintroduced to the neighborhood (including the slugs).

Mid-week Seattle Mariners game with friends. I don’t claim to be a big baseball fan but it’s fun to go to the park!

And in addition to the ball park, there was also time spent at neighborhood parks on these beautiful fall days!

As we settled into our Friday night, Mr. D looked at the door at the crescent moon rising and said, “It needs another piece.”

How was your week?

As I was going to bed this week, I spied this beautiful almost full moon shining through the window. It inspired my choice of the quote for this week, “Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” – Allen Ginsberg

I got a pedicure this week. The price was right and I didn’t have to wait…

My kids and I rode the light rail downtown, stopped at the ball park to buy some roasted peanuts and then snapped this picture of a plane as it was being transported on a train, passing underneath the arch of the baseball stadium.
