Different Views of the Week

Monday we traveled back to the lake area, only a couple of hours from the house, yea! - to purchase some material for our windows and to enjoy the day. One of our favorite restaurants is on the way so we stopped for breakfast and this beautiful arrangement was in the restroom. I know, strange to be taking pictures in the restroom, but it was pretty.


The next day we returned to the capital to visit with Wendall and Jane. They had come with our friend, Miss Fran, to welcome Gabrielle who is visiting Fran for a month. Miss Fran had to be hospitallized for a couple of days with pneumonia. She is doing much better and was released yesterday to return home. So it was our priviledge to accompany the three to the relief map. The air was filled with the wonderful fragrance from this tree...something like a magnolia, maybe not quite as strong a fragrance.


And then on to lunch at the PanAm, you remember, the wonderful coconut cream pie restaurant...and yes, we made sure we all had room for dessert! Some enjoyed the famous banana cream pie but for me, it is always the coconut cream pie...


While visiting Miss Fran in the hospital, she lamented that she did not have her camera to take pictures of the old knarled eucalptus tree and gardens outside her window. So these pictures are for you Miss Fran...




Then on our way home, we stopped at the new mall in the capital. This play area is in the midst of the food court...looks like fun!


And finally today's picture...this morning I was hanging out some wash and looked up at the sky (ok, really checking to see if there is enough time for them to dry before the rains come) and saw this beautiful rainbow. It was just a reminder of God's promises...always faithful, never ending, blessed promises!


Trust your day is filled with the reality of God's promises!
