“Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.” - Anonymous
It was a great warm, windy day with a breakfast that included biscuits in gravy, and visiting with my friend, Jan. We were trying a new(for us) restaurant in Edmonds. Pancakes galore, even the large, beautiful German ones that are oven baked and luscious to look at. Jan noted that the restaurant had an air calmness that, perhaps, came from a well-established restaurant. Indeed, though filled with customers, there was a quiet, graceful flow. We were pleased by the service we received we from a young, friendly, open-hearted woman. Her presence and interactions changed the meal from ordinary good eats to a pleasant, memorable experience.
We had a jaunt down to the water to watch whitecaps, a cargo ship, birds, the visibility of the Olympic mountains, and a talented, nearly invisible wind surfer.
Add a stop at Third Place Books, a living room catch-up visit over tea, and you a perfect social outing.
saturated with goodness of balmy breezes
warmed and fed by innocent open kindness
engaged by watching ships on their journeys
“Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.” - Marion Howard
May you enjoy the good company of friends and "strangers"
