Time in Washington

 It was a very nice week in Port Angeles! The weather was gorgeous, which was such a blessing!

I got to Port Angeles on Thursday afternoon and Dad dropped me at Julie's house. Amanda was there and Julie and I jumped into her car to go into town to pick up little Tysen, Amanda's 3 year old son. He was getting out of school. Isaac was home and we took him for a walk later in the day. He does love the trees!

We visited until dinner. It was so nice to catch up! Julie and Pat's friend, Stella, was also arriving that evening. She is a really sweet person and just wanted to help out as much as possible. 

Josh and Keira's wedding was so beautiful! The mountains provided a gorgeous backdrop to the event. The venue is so perfect. Everyone had a blast at the reception! 

On Monday I was blessed to be able to be with the Davis family for Pat's memorial service. Wow. What a gift. Julie planned a beautiful celebration to remember Pat. Her family and friends arrived over the course of several days. So many people came from so far to remember a special man and to support Julie and the girls. It was wonderful to be able to hear stories, listen to family songs, and even raise a shot of Japanese whiskey to Pat, on the back deck.

The day was not without it's challenges, four people testing positive for covid in the household, and an overflowing toilet, but Julie handled it all with her usual grace. 

There was time to visit and think about what is coming next too. Amanda has moved back to North Dakota, and Julie went down to California to spend a couple of weeks with Sarah and her girls. 

I am home now and getting back into the swing of things! Have to get ready for First Fridays and whatever God wants to do in our little world.
