Happy Monday, everyone!
Today it rained nonstop in SoCal and you probably saw the record breaking weather on your local news; I’d say our drought is pretty much over. Heavy rain on the deck!
It was a perfect day for a DIY matcha green tea mask. It’s so easy; just a teaspoon of powdered matcha mixed with a bit of water and a few drops of rosehip oil. Leave it on for about twenty minutes, rinse off, and moisturize.
Did I scare you?
What else is new with me?
Angel Boy 2.0, my adorable grandson, is going to celebrate his first birthday in a couple weeks. I can’t believe a whole year has gone by.
This is a view from their living room. The Salish Sea (Puget Sound) with the Olympic Mountains seem so close it’s as if you could almost touch them. Spectacular!
No whales, but lots of boats. This is a busy waterway.
And during a recent visit, a perfectly positioned squirrel watching us at Golden Gardens, an amazing park near the Chittenden Locks in Ballard, near Seattle.
So what’s new with all of you?
My youngest has gone off to college. She comes home on weekends, but she is not the same person. My husband and I are getting closer, but it isn’t enough to fill the void.

Empty nests are tough to navigate; I remember how the house was so silent, but when they return it fills with the sounds of life again.

And then they get married and have babies, and you forget (almost) how much love you had for your own child because the grandchildren steal your heart!

My oldest is 30, twins are 26, youngest is 19. I’m waiting. They aren’t in a hurry to settle down and have kids.

My son was 35 when they had Theo; we thought they’d NEVER stay in one place long enough to start a family, but it happened! So there’s still time…:)

I know, it’s hard to believe, I agree. Time flies no matter how much we try to stop it.

Welcome back. I used to live in Seattle, so it was good to see the sound and the Olympics.

It’s beautiful there. So much to do and people seem to function even in the rain, not like here in SoCal!
