Challenges

"When the challenges of mortality come, and they come for all of us, it may seem hard to have faith and hard to believe. At these times only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement can bring us peace, hope, and understanding. Only faith that He suffered for our sakes will give us the strength to endure to the end."  Robert D. Hales

Not Too Early

It might be too early for this

Costco has a winner - 

almonds covered in dark chocolate and rolled in peppermint

Beautiful

Here & There

Choices at the airport cellphone lot

Regular, handicapped accessible & there's even a wash station

The wash station was labeled "food vendors" with no other explanation

A few days later I read that food trucks will soon be coming to the cellphone lot

Kirkland takes care of its dogs - we even have special water fountains for them!

This couple was enjoying Marina Park with their walkers. 

They had a map and appeared to be seeking out various sculptures. 

Kirkland is very walkable by all kinds of walkers

The flowers on our balcony were especially pretty at dusk
