Tea at the Queen Mary is such a treat! Especially when a famous celebrity sits at the table right next to you! Treat!

The trees to the left of the house caught my attention today. I love their dark spots and light bark. It was quite cold this afternoon. Time to snuggle up!

I've been working on this scarf for over 5 months now. I really need to dedicate myself and finish this off because I really want to wear it.

The Friday before Christmas I thought it might be fun to do a puzzle over the holiday weekend. A puzzle that I now dream of and am far away from finishing.

Christmas Day! I spent it watching movies, knitting mini sweaters and eating. Such a lovely way to spend a day.

We spent Christmas Eve at my brother's house. One of his dogs, Pandora is a bit scared of everyone but my brother and his wife. I sneakily snapped this photo while she rested on her Christmas present from me and leaned against my brother.

I spent some time outside the house way past dusk trying to capture photos of the neighbor's inflatable snow globe. When those didn't turn out, I pointed my camera toward my favorite trees and snapped away. Somehow they took on a reddish light in the moon's soft light.

I removed an alarm clock past its prime from my reading table (where there isn't much room for books) and arranged my knick-knacks for better viewing.

Jack and Lucy also make me giggle. They have a zest for life that is hard to match.

Today is my Dad's birthday and I helped him celebrate by decorating the tree while he watched me do all the hard work. My Mom would chime in with direction and he would just laugh at us.

I headed over to Kirkland to pick up some Christmas gifts this afternoon and drove by a park in Juanita. I love this park and sprinted out of the car to grab a picture.

We've had someone in town this week for work from Texas and I've been heading to Downtown Seattle before work to pick her up. This morning due to light traffic, I was about 25 minutes early.

I decided to park my car and snap a few photos of the United States Courthouse which I've always been drawn too due to its beauty. I put the photos up on Flickr and I'm already planning a trip downtown with my big camera to get better shots.

Mot mailed me her Taco Del Mar card. I think this means that she's really moved away from me. NOT HAPPY! But am happy with my new Taco Del Mar card as I do love the free burrito!

My transfer point for the bus is right near the King Street Station. I love this old clock tower. It reminds me of the yesterdays of Seattle.

SNOW! When I awoke this morning and headed to my race, it was snowing a bit but quickly turned to rain. This afternoon after a very delicious brunch, it started really snowing! I hope it sticks!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning which is surprising after the gloom and doom forecasted by the weathermen. I am praying this holds out until tomorrow afternoon when I'm done with my race.

After work, I headed downtown to pick up my race number for the Seattle Half Marathon on Sunday. It took quite awhile to get through all the holiday traffic but the lights were beautiful to gaze upon.

After my Grandmother died, I took this bible from her house. It's old and was a present to Sadie J. Wright on Christmas in 1876 when she was just 16 years old. The inside is brown with ripped pages, newspaper inserts, letters and notes from various people. I'm not sure if this bible is from a relative or something that my Grandfather found in an used bookstore. Either way, I love holding it in my hands and wondering who else has held it in their hands.

I made my parents drive down to Temple Square today. I love the huge buildings built of stone. I may not agree with the beliefs inside the building but I do agree with the beauty of the building.
