My schedule is back to normal

More from Dale Chihuly
Just a quick note for my Saturday post, with me being happy to have gone on a nice (albeit wet)walk with the Fairhaven ladies (and one man) this morning. It was dark and dreary when we started out, most of us surprised by the rather wet weather, since it was supposed to come in much later than it did. There were 21 of us, in the rain and dark, so you know there are plenty of us happy to walk in whatever weather the day brings us.

I learned on Facebook that my stepdaughter Susan enjoyed the Chihuly Garden and Glass show so much when we went there last Monday that she went again the next evening, and got even more wonderful pictures to share on her Facebook page. That made me want to show you a few more of my pictures from last Monday.

With the hike on Thursday and the walk this morning, I am feeling right back into the swing of my routine. Not that I'm rigid or anything (smile), but I sure do like having a schedule. I've survived the holidays without gaining a pound, and that also makes me smile. Here's another Chihuly Glass picture to round out the post.
In the Macchia Forest Room
I hope you have also survived the holidays, got all the trimmings put away, and are staying warm and dry. See you again on Tuesday!
:-)

    I could kick myself for not going to Chihully Glass Museum when there last summer so I especially enjoyed your pictures. Definitely a reason to return.

    Chihuly Glass is incredible isn't it? Love it.
    I too love my routines, and need to develop some more active ones.
    We have blissful rain here this morning and the garden and I are very, very glad. The cats less so.

    Love Chihuly glass and came across a magnificent chandelier of his in the V and A Museum in London. Will post a photo soon.

    We returned the grandchildren to their parents, took a day for us to tramp around San Francisco, came home to a jumbled house and yard that needed serious work. We have been doing laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping, yard work, etc today to get the place back to some semblance of order. fortunately, I had put all the Christmas decorations away before the grandchildren came for their stay. Next week we return to the regularly scheduled program.

    I never seen anything he makes I didn't like. These large collaborations often are assembled and taken down a number of times before it is right to leave. He has a large assemblage at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha , NE similar to the blue cluster.

    We are very un-routine today. After a lot of walking yesterday, we are resting today. In fact, I didn't even wake up this morning until after 9:00!
    I've gathered in some groceries and ordered up pizza for this evening. Tom built a fire in the fireplace. Jill brought the kids over, borrowed my Seahawks hat and scarf, and has gone to Seahawks Stadium to meet up with her brother. They have tickets in the nose-bleed section.
    Now it's 4:00 and getting very dark. We are all settled in doing out own things as we await the big game beginning in about an hour.

    So you are once again comfortable in your own skin. A routine keeps us going in the right direction.

    Routines are great - as long as they don't trap me!

    I like routine. I like my Weekend Routine far better than my Weekday Routine, but still . . . I like routine.
    I am in awe of your not having gained a single pound, but then . . . we're talking about a woman who walks twenty miles at the drop of a hat . . . rather different from my capabilities...

    I am so glad your world is right side up again. Cool that your step daughter had such a great time also.
    I gained three but pretty sure I will lose them.

    First off, that hike to Lily Lake in your post below was such a delightful jaunt to go with y'all!!! Beautiful D J

    And for this post, it's good to read that your trip with your step daughter was such a wonderful experience for her that she returned and wrote about it all on FB.

    My routine these days is being able to get up and hack. rofl .... kidding.
