Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Ava and Lori left WA for home today...a sad day for us, but Seattle didn't match the mood: it was utterly beautiful as we made a quick detour into the city on our way to the airport. The sun was shining, the water was sparkling, and the air was warm. It was a delightful last afternoon to Ava's summer trip!

You can see the Cascades in the distance~still with snow on their tops.

 We had lunch at one of my favorite Seattle Restaurants: The Pink Door

Look at that clear blue sky!!!

Even Mt Rainer obliged us by being "out" today

(not that the Mtn isn't always there, but it

is often shrouded in clouds and not visible...

a Washingtonian saying is that the "mountain is out"

when it is actually visible!

We'll miss you, Miss Ava, and can't wait til your next visit!!!!
