Memorial Day

Yesterday, tia, Sara, and I had our last girls day out and went to Snoqualmie Falls. It was about a 30 min drive and it was amazing! Soooo beautiful! It's too bad we weren't in gear to hike down closer to the falls, but maybe next time. When Sara and I got to the deck that overlooks the falls, I told Sara that we should go ahead and take some pictures. So I took out my phone and starting snapping some, while she quickly pulled out her sketch pad and started sketching as quickly as she could! I didn't realize she'd take me literally...lol. (No actually, before we had gotten out of the car, I had told her to bring her sketchpad down since we didn't get to draw together in the car).

Anyhow, a little boy found it so amusing and grand that she was sketching out the falls, he was all excited and pointing at her and then tugging on his mom's shirt. He was so cute! Cute kids!!! After we had our fun there and at the gift shop, we went into the resort that overlooks it. Very pretty too...as it must be expensive.

Then we took a longer way home and passed through the small downtown of Snoqualmie Falls and then through a lot of country land dotted by a few houses here and there. Now I know where I'd like to retire. :D They had some really nice country cottages around.

We then arrived back in the city and stopped at a Chinese restaurant and ate some delicious food!!! We got so tired and hungry on our trip...we almost ate all of the food (and we got 3 plates and soup)!

It wasn't too long after we got home, that the chess champs got back after their last day of the Washington Open. They did well and Karen won both games she played on Sunday...these people are quite a bit higher than her level mind you! But above all, they enjoyed their weekend of chess and they have a good bunch of friends there too. On their break, they were playing chess...they truly play for love of the game, which is really how it should be played.

Today I did as much as much bug-finding as I could and at the end of the day I went over to talk to my boss and and it sounded like after turning in those bugs I wouldn't have too much to do until they were revised. :( So I asked what I could do in the meantime and he asked me if I was asking for more work...I slowly said 'yes' and that hopefully that was a good question to ask. He said it was a very good question, so I will get a few more assignments hopefully tomorrow. I'm glad b/c I was beginning to think they wouldn't know what to do with me and then I wouldn't know what to do with me either...lol.

Pray you are all doing fantastically! Love!!! Shout out to the lovies and to Tres who just started her new job today!!

P.S. I added pics to my blog from last time...
