In 2001, I drove my little dodge dakota alone off the ferry from Alaska, through the town of Bellingham without a second thought as I made my way to my new life in Seattle.
In 2007, my husband and I overnighted in Bellingham before catching a 7 am cruise to Victoria, BC. This past weekend my husband and daughter and I thought we’d finally stop and see what Bellingham had to offer.
We didn’t spend much time downtown, but we were charmed by the boardwalk along Bellingham Bay.
Loved this heron.
My girl had the best time. So much to discover!
I loved all the sailboats, and the sunset was spectcular.
I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot lately. December 30th would have been my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary – if he had lived that long. I remember how much my neices and nephews enjoyed their grandpa – and he them – story time, living room forts, tickle monsters… I know there is little sense in dwelling on what is not possible, but sometimes I imagine what would have been – my daughter with her grandfather.
A friend of mine was going through her photos recently and found a couple I had not seen before. These pictures were taken four years ago at a dear friends wedding, and they landed in my inbox right when I needed to see them (Thanks Sharon).
The first photo: my two favorite men, my husband and my father. This may be the only picture we have of just the two of them.
The second photo: my husband and I with my parents.
So what little blessings have taken your breath away recently?
Sunday night my little brother got married to a smart, beautiful, sassy, funny, bold, independent, adventurous, organized, and very sweet girl. She is exactly what he needs.
Congratulations you two! I think you are perfect for each other.
