happy happy...

Happy Spring to you! Isn’t this just a fun time of year!? I think I love Fall the best but Spring is definitely a close second! I love the transitional seasons because that's when I get to bust out the sweatshirts! Summer is for tank tops, Winter is for sweaters and Fall and Spring are for cozy sweatshirts!

SO much going on right now! What else is new, eh? :-) Lots of groovy projects going on but first, I’d like to share some pix with you from the trip Glen and I took this past weekend up to Vancouver BC.

Glen and I had an absolutely delightful time. We stayed with Steve and Lilli and had lots of fun. We had some fun meals, took some great walks, watched some fun movies (Stranger Than Fiction and Prairie Home Companion – I watched this before but I had fun watching Glen watch it!), and Lilli and I had lots of fun shopping adventures. That ALWAYS makes me happy!

Here are a few happy snaps…

...this is what greeted us in the entry of Steve and Lilli's home...

   

...walking along the Spanish Banks...

...me and my buddy...

...my buddy and her sweety...

...boats in the harbour*...

...can you tell we had gorgeous weather this day?

...the daffodils were going ka-boing!!!

Check this out...we saw several eagles while we were traveling through Vancouver. Right along the beach was a tree with an eagle guarding it's nest. So flippin' cool. Be sure to click on the picture so you can see this magnificant bird better!

Our visit with the our pals was inclusive of two very important events...Lilli's birthday and my 24th wedding anniversary!

Here's lovely Lilli with her cake...

...the cake was from Butter and it was AMAZING! Chocolate strawberry? How can that not be Heaven?

And my sweet sweet guy surprised me and brought me some beautiful roses. We didn't even have any trouble bringing them across the border when we came home!

I have a few more pictures but I'll save those for next time. I hear my craft room calling my name. ArtFest is in two weeks and there's still LOTS to do!!! I’m so excited and I’m SO looking forward to this event. Not only will I get to take some awesome classes from some awesome artists, I'll be hanging out with Lilli and Cassondra, meeting Cheryl, and meeting Janet! Oh and another fun thing…Kecia is attending ArtFest and then afterwards, she’s going to ride back to Portland and hang out with me for a couple of days! That's gonna be a blast!

So I'm thinkin' that after ArtFest, I’ll be taking a break from blogging. I am in great need of focusing on myself, my family, and my house! I recently picked up a book called One Year to an Organized Life and I've been inspired to organize like the wind! We'll just have to see how the break from blogging goes though...if I know me (which I do), I’ll probably just start blogging about getting organized!

So great to see these pix of yours, reading things from your perspective. Of course, I wouldn't call the 'u's superfluous :)
