Father You are My Guiding Light~ Happy Father’s Day

:-) ;-) Dad, you’re like the sun to me,a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love. You taught me by example,as a role model,
how to be my own person,how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I have you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father. :-) ;-) By Joanna Fuchs

First off…this isn’t a garden .. But it is an awesome beach  park  for summers, a good hanging out spot during winter time and has an off leash area for dogs . This is a great place to grab your favorite drink, walk around, sit on one of the benches while looking out at the water and the sun set over the Olympics, talk and spend time with someone you care about. The park has beautiful sandy beaches, is BBQ-friendly, offers beautiful views of the Olympics and plenty of waterfront property to spread out… this is a gem of a city park.(More photos after the jump) Continue reading →

An Hour Goes By So Fast on the Weekend

Have you ever felt like weekdays goes by so slow and weekends goes too fast? The only explanation I think,weekends seems to whizz by so quickly because you’re actually doing something you enjoy.It seems to me while you are working, working hours feels like an eternity. It always takes too long to pass that 6+ hours a day at work. While at home, time goes so fast, and 24 hours a day at home seems not enough for me. Don’t you feel the same? Anyways ,my weekend was filled up with Ikea shopping,house chores,friends came over and we hung out~ today,we went to pick up our friends’ sister from the airport and wrapped up our weekend with great conversations,watching movies,drinking and eating.How was yours?


Sunday Afternoon Is for Food,Friends,Fun and Photos

Posted on by

It’s no secret  that I am a huge fan of photography! I basically take a picture/photo of anything that capture my attention and tells a story when one look at it. So today I decided to do something I have never done before, and that is “Food Photography”.We’ve all seen the seductive photos of vividly colorful fresh vegetables, sumptuous cherry pies, and golden-brown roasted turkeys. These pictures, often found in glossy cookbooks and magazines, make us believe that if we follow the recipe we, too, can create such delectable dishes. My challenge for today was to make few dishes,invite friends over,enjoy the meal and take as many photographs as I can. And I did just that..

Celebrating Our Love Over and Over Again

My husband and I, just celebrated our 7 years wedding anniversary on 08/15. I cannot believe how fast the 7 years went by. Seven years later,and we are still very much in love. Our marriage is a testament to how great marriage can be when a couple allows God to be the center of everything.In order for a marriage to work we have learned to look past the imperfections and at the same time be accepting of the other, realizing the imperfections each one has and try to work and make the necessary changes. Our love has been nothing but unconditional love and ,I thank God for bringing us together.

Our Wedding Anniversary Photos Clips.

Getting ready to go to our friends house, who had invited us for dinner (how nice of them)

You’re my best friend in the good times

You’re the reason for sweet yesterdays

You made this year and every year
the best one of my life.

Spring Break= Make~ups And Break~ups

Posted on by
Reply

It is called spring break for a reason. Seems like most break-ups and make-ups occurs during this time of year! Is it because in the spring, most people have extra energy and feel the need for a new beggining just as nature does? Spring showers bring good and bad out of people I guess.

Strange Love~Naomi Campbell with Her Russian Boyfriend..and His Wife and Child

Posted on by

Friends of Russian tycoon Vlad Doronin are surprised Naomi Campbell is still hanging on to him. Whenever he’s in London, he lives with his wife, Katya, and his teenage daughter. And the couple, who have an open marriage, have no immediate plans to divorce. 
Vlad supposedly bought Naomi a penthouse in Rio last year for $18 million, and she gets to fly private with him everywhere. Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin is so smitten with the British supermodel he splashed out on the exclusive residence in Jardins, Sao Paulo, as a “gift” for her, according to the New York Post newspaper. A source said: “Naomi told Vladimir how much she loved Brazil and that she really wanted to settle down there. So he bought her the apartment, and said it was a gift for her. They will use it as their base when they are in Brazil together.

Weekend Get~Away To Cannon Beach,OR

Posted on by
Reply

    This past weekend we ~ (my husband and I , and our pooch Coco) went to Cannon Beach, one of the best Oregon Coast beaches for a short weekend get~away. We love Oregon’s scenic coastline and Oregon’s rich marine waters.The weather was absolutely beautiful,very calm and with blue sky, it was something that was much needed for the weekend.
    The highlight of our get~away was the beautiful sunset, beach bonfire pit, the beautiful moon over calm ocean while we ate dinner at the beach and my ooh my..the approximately 12 miles long beach…Sunset Beach, which..much of it is accessible by car… had the most beautiful view.Sunset Beach provides visitors with direct access to the Pacific Ocean with expansive views from Cape Disappointment to the north and Ecola State Park to the south.
   If you love nature and natural beauty environment, you will like the Pacific scenery in Oregon better than anywhere else on the West Coast I think.We will definitely go back there again..for the fifth time. :)

Enjoy with us!

~Make Every Day ;A Valentine’s Day~

Posted on by
Reply
Valentine’s day is a week from today.
The shops will soon be full of sloppy cards and 
cutest presents for St Valentines Day. 
The verses inside these cards will talk of 
love and the stars above and be extremely romantic. 
It is easy to confuse romance with love.
Valentine’s Day is not the only day to show love.
Romance is not something you do once a year. It’s a daily lifestyle!
Romance does not have to be a bottle of expensive wine, 
or a bouquet of flowers. 
It can be a phone call to say, “I love you,” a homemade card, 
or simply serving a breakfast in bed to your loved one. 
February 14th, the day of red hearts and cupids! 
I’ve never understood why we only set aside 
one day per year to focus on 
one of the most important things in the world-LOVE! 
Seems to me everyday should be the day for 
expressing how much we love and care for others. 
So here goes to my everyday Valentine, my husband~ Alex~ 
Happy Valentine darling. I love you.

How is everyone’s Sunday going?What did you do today? We had a very simple lazy Sunday. It has been raining all day, but still is beautiful outside.Coco still needed his walk.We took him to Golden Gardens Park ,one of the best and my favorite park here in Seattle. The park is located in Ballard on Puget Sound- this popular park offers extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.We took couple of photos while we were there!

Coco,as usual the first thing everything morning, is to wake Mom up
 
Coco,  enjoying his ride
 
At Golden Gardens park, still raining, but not bad considering it is snowing somewhere right now, so we are  way better.I can take rain anytime  :-)

 Coco, finally getting his walk… but still looks around to make sure there’s other four legged around so he can go and say hi.
 
 
The view was beautiful despite the rain.
