I had a lovely time on my retreat to the Pacific Northwest. The first day my friend and I walked around a lake in a beautiful park near her house. I enjoyed wearing my new red rain cape! The air was alternately drizzly or fresh and crisp. The scenery was spectacular.
Shopping in Seattle was fun! Especially downtown at the market. So much to see and appreciate! Especially the food.
I really enjoyed having the leisure to take walks, relax, and eat gorgeous food before taking off for the Pacific Ocean and Victoria. Next week I will share some of my travels. (Still getting back in synch!).

So glad you enjoyed your trip. I LOVE Seattle. Seems you went to all the great places there, too. Happy that you are back online and writing about your journey. XO
I will be in touch soon, Anna! Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my blog. Next time I will post some travel photos. I had a great time and I am getting clear on what I want to be/do next!Big(((HUG))) to you!
Hello Colleen, I'm so glad you had a good break. The food looks wonderful and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your time away. Welcome back by the way.
Hello Barbara! It really was lovely to take a complete break from electronics! I am not as addicted as I imagined. No withdrawal symptoms at all! Still, I am happy to be getting back in touch with my cyber friends- a few of whom, like you, I hope to see in person someday!
I visited Seattle for the first time this past May and enjoyed Pike's Market, as well. Love the first picture of Little Red Riding Hood (I mean, you!) in the big deep woods. :)
Thank you,Marcia! I love the red rain cape- it really does keep me dry.
One of my favorite Little Golden books was Little Red Riding Hood written and illustrated by Elizabeth Orton Jones. It took me years to find a nice copy (my mother regularly gave away my books and toys). Now I know why I wanted that particular rain cape- your comment reminded me!
I've never been to Seattle, but now I want to go.
Hi Stephanie! So happy to inspire you! I will tempt you some more in my next blog. The scenery is spectacular.Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
Hi Colleen, I'm just now seeing your reply to my comment on this post and I'm curious if you happened to see my long ago post about Elizabeth Orton Jones. If you click on my 'spotlights' tab and scroll down you'll find a link to the post there. I also had a Little Golden book of Little Red Riding Hood, but it was a different illustrator and had a paper doll at the back (1959). I still have it, a bit torn and worn, though. :)
Marcia! I have the paper doll Little Red Riding Hood book as well. I am going to look at your post about Elizabeth Orton Jones. Her version of LRRH haunted my dreams for years until I found my replacement copy.I re-read it frequently. I love the illustrations. The paper doll in the 1959 version remains one of my favorite paper dolls. Such fun to meet friends with the same childhood favorite books!
