Wonderland Carousel

Saturday there was a "Hot Project" at the Wonderland Carousel for Seattle Works. Some of the proceeds went to "Treehouse", an organization that helps foster children. A few of us from Team: Younger and Wiser joined.



After our shift, we enjoyed a free ride on the carousel...I can't remember the last time I was on a carousel.

Holiday Decor is up

The lights are up, the tree is decorated and my condo smells of cinnamon. The holidays are here and it's time to celebrate with family and friends.

Gobble Gobble

Wednesday night it was time to pull out the annual shirt and get ready to go out. (mine was a little wrinkled, since I hadn't wore it since last year!)



The snow and ice couldn't keep a small group of us from getting together for the annual "Gobble-Gobble Drink-A-Long." We did change the location, but the fun times and good memories, were still had!

Oh and yes, that is a shake weight in a bar!

Snow Day!

It started snowing on Sunday and continued all day yesterday (Monday). Today (Tuesday), it is beautiful and sunny, but very cold...only 20 something degrees. The roads are snow and ice covered, so it has been determined, it's a snow day!





My poor potted plants...I think they are dead :(

Trent got his black belt!

Saturday was Black Belt Testing and Trent got his black belt! It was a long, tough road, but he stuck with it and should feel very proud of himself. Go Trent!!



He looked so proud to show it off!

New Hallway Carpet

A week ago Friday, my building got new hallway carpet installed. It was about time, the previous carpet was original...38 years old!




Before





After


While the carpet was being installed, we needed to have our doors open. Stella (Leslie's dog) from across the hall, came over to hang out. She was sleepy!

At one point, I went in the hallway to ask a question. I came back to find Stella curled up on my couch.

Suncadia

A week ago Friday, I went to Suncadia for a work tour. The One Bedroom Suite, was larger than my condo! I really wanted to visit the new winery: Swiftwater, however I didn't get a chance. I left Saturday morning before it was open, so I will have to go back!

Washer and Dryer...if only I had brought my laundry!
