More time in Seattle

Thursday I woke up with the family, and J took me downtown to news channel five off Denny Way so that I could go to my show.  While working as a nanny out here, I discovered I could take the bus on days off, attend the show for free and take away awesome gifts.  I enjoyed it, too.  Inside the studio are big televisions that broadcast the Today show.  There is a group of women that come EVERY DAY to the show.  They have been coming for years, and they sit at a table with coffee, newspaper and talk about their lives.  I actually think it's pretty cool... They have stories of celebrities they've met, things they've learned, and they stay busy going to all the free events they receive!

Going to a live show is pretty fun because you can see the live mistakes that people make, the re-do's, the nervousness, etc.,  And it is something good for the mind.  Every time I've gone I've learned or been inspired by something I did not know before.  Thursday an ESPN guy with a great sense of humor was a guest.  I liked when he talked to us during commercial and told us about his nephew who is blind but has LIMITLESS options.  Blindness doesn't define him.  We all have something, but that something should never be our definition. 

After that, I walked around and found a big Whole Foods Store.  I went inside, walked around, and tried a bunch of free samples.  I enjoyed taking in new sights, browsing, and looking at the world and people around me. 

Then I came home and relaxed and J took the girls to the park.  I decided I would join them.  It was a treat to be by the ocean, hearing the trains, picking flowers with the girls, and having a good time with them.  They both tried to climb a tree...

We had pizza for dinner, and I slept really well back in my old room with the extremely comfortable bed.  It's nice to be in a home with children, little feet running, games, coffee brewing and shared, arguments, play, laughter.  It's such a joy.
