This week my sisters and I took our mom out to celebrate her 82nd birthday. We went to the Chihuly Glass Museum at the Seattle Center, and then out to lunch at the Pike Place Market. Lisa took this picture of Erin, Mom and me outside the restaurant (Etta's Seafood....absolutely great).
She also took this picture of the glass ceiling in the Chihuly Museum...can you believe I didn't take my camera? I've never been a huge fan of Dale Chihuly's glass, but the museum is a distinctive experience, and very enjoyable. The best part, of course, was spending time with my mother and sisters. I am very lucky to be part of a large (Mom, Dad, and seven siblings), close, intact family.
A big family can be quite a resource and this was proven rather casually by an outpouring of brass candleholders. I was lamenting a couple of posts ago that I couldn't find what I needed for Lynne's table, and that was all it took. Lisa and Mom between them came up with all of these choices.
Brass candleholders anyone? More fruit from the spreading rootlets of love and family.
