This past weekend...

It's another Monday - but thanks to the federal holiday, it's actually so tame I have time to breathe. I might not have the day off, but the post office being closed makes my day pretty boring.

Scott has taken my aunt up to the casino for the day. They were planning a ride on the ferry over to one of the islands, but the weather isn't playing nice today. The casino was plan B. Yesterday (Sunday) we went to Leavenworth and had a full day and a delicious lunch. I had German sausage, sauerkraut, winekraut, fried potatoes, and rye bread. Yum! Aunt Tina had goulash. We purchased some truffles from the chocolate shop and also got some gorgeous photos of the mountains and river.

Last Friday, her first full day out here, I took here into Seattle Center and she went up in the Space Needle (I'm so proud she overcame her fear of heights!), and then took the monorail down across to Westlake. We then proceeded to wander around Pike's Market for a good couple of hours. She had tons of fun, and that makes me very happy.

Saturday was a mellow day. We went to Mad Scrapper and Boehm's in Issaquah and then we went shopping that evening and did some scrapbooking.

I talked to Ashley Saturday night and she is going to help me plan Jessica's baby shower for this upcoming weekend. I'm so grateful for that - I have been so busy with everything else going on that all I had ready for the shower was a list of ideas! This has definitely been a very hectic couple of months, and with the holidays just around the corner, I'm not seeing much of a break in the pattern until the new year. Oh well...
