A couple weeks ago I attended the high school graduation ceremony of my youngest (of 4) grandsons. This last Tuesday I attended the high school graduation ceremony of my youngest (of 5) granddaughters. They were very nervous about the whole thing, but they both came through with grace and dignity.
Of course they live at different ends of Western Washington and the ceremonies were 10 days apart. But as I am a traveling grandma this only meant I had to get there at a specific time.
So in between ceremonies I picked up my middle sister, Bobbi, who happens to live in the general area of one of them, and we spent a lovely 5 days at Birch Bay. We visited Lynden and went through the Pioneer Museum. Looking at some of the exhibits brought back memories of my farming days. Plus they have a great buggy collection as well as other era exhibits. If you happen to be in the area, it is well worth the time to go look.
We also went into Canada so we could visit Point Roberts, Washington! The only access is through Canada or by boat. We were recommended to a cozy store, vegetable, bakery, lunch place called Brewsters. We had a great lunch of Carrot Cake & Ice Cream!! And we bought 2 huge chocolate chip cookies ‘for the road’.
We had a great time together and did and ate as we pleased.
My next stop was a week visit with my daughter and family. They are all very tolerant of their strange (mother, mother-in-law, grandmother) as the case may be. My daughter took me to the Chinese district where we checked out the son’s, (my grandson) apartment. Looked pretty good. After lunch at a Chinese restaurant we went to an Asian store that reminded me of an Ikea Store. All kinds of vegetable, grocery, household, cooking & dish products were there. Plus a food court. Good thing we had already had lunch!
