Weekend Wrap Up

As you saw from previous posts, we had the grand kids on Friday.  After our field trip, we spent the afternoon at home, outside.  One thing we did was empty out the shed and convert it back into a playhouse/garden shop/whatever your want it to be space.

 No, I didn't buy the Nerf guns.  It's what the kids picked out with their birthday money when Jill took them shopping.  She isn't sure she should have allowed them.  They have up to this point not had toy guns, but that hasn't kept them from turning other objects into guns anyway. And they did have a lot of active fun.

Saturday morning we met up with some of the members of our garden club to tour the arboretum and Chinese Garden at South Seattle Community College.

 The fruits, flowers and new growth on the conifers were beautiful.

Saturday evening the predicted showers didn't show up and we had another lovely evening at the Sounders match at the stadium.

We gathered with other supporters in Occidental Park for the March to the Match.

 The view was lovely for our outside dining at the top of the stadium.

 The sun was shining well into the match. Just under 50,000 people were in attendance. 

 The smile of victory!

 Sunday we finally got some housework done. In the afternoon I went for a walk.  Thunder storms were possible so I kept watching the sky.  Storm clouds were all around me, but never overhead.

Have any of you been watching Call the Midwives on PBS, or Masterpiece's Mr. Selfridge? It was the finale for both of them, and the conclusions had me in tears.  It was a very good 2.5 hours of television. And that's how we ended a busy weekend.
