More pics of my visit with Piper!  We saw The Posies, which is one of my all time favorite bands (and I walked right by the lead singer in the street before the concert and nearly squealed/fainted on sight). I was too busy liking the concert to take pictures, but I did take a couple of others!

This is one of the flags that line Broadway year round:)  It’s one of the best neighborhoods to go out in on the weekends!

Still a favorite even if I don’t make it there often. The market was crowded and filled with sounds and smells. Exactly like I remembered it. Fun fact for those interested in coffee. The very first Starbucks in the world is right on the street in the picture above:)

I couldn’t help buying some pretty flowers:)

Signing off until our next adventure!

My co-author and friend Piper Vaughn is here this week visiting me and sightseeing in Washington.  On her first day here, I took her up to see Mount Rainier. Usually in the summer, it looks something like the picture below. Not this year!

We’ve had such a cold summer that apparently the snow never melted. When Piper and I got up there, we were greeted with this:  (In July!!)

There was four or five feet of snow, even though it was a hot day! All the trails were covered, and no pretty flowers were anywhere to be seen:(  It was still gorgeous and we had a great day…until I wiped out in the snow and fell. LOL. that’s okay.

Here’s a picture of me (mostly) and Piper. We’re not trying to be sneaky. I just have awful aim. I tried:)  

Hope you guys are having a great week!
