Day 4 - Natharbi ate cake 7/7/7(Corny alert - written while humming Teddy Bear Picnic)
For a while, Natharbi had planned a picnic for two at a special location in Maple Valley. We picked a winning weather day, gathered our picnic necessities and made our way out to the forest for a little nature stroll, sandwiches, raspberries, and angel food cake. We walked this long driveway and basked in the moment. I saw a snake and a bunch of bees, but I maintained my composure as if I was not a city girl. Our picnic was delightful and the location serene. This pretty piece of property fosters Natharbi's imagination and great expectations.
After lunch, we did a little antiquing in Issaquah. The Gilman Antique Gallery has so much jewelry in it, I was smitten. Old jewelry fascinates me, each piece has a history all its own to imagine. Was it a romantic gift from a lover? A gift to honor a birth? An item bought by a woman herself to feel especially pretty for an anniversary or party? I didn't buy any jewelry today, but I was really excited to find this '30s hat that will be put to good use on the trip to the Queen Mary in November.
OK, it looks silly in this photo but just you wait for the whole outfit!
Barbi is a Reno transplant so I felt compelled to take note of the lucky day. Natharbi honored the winning date 7/7/7 with a little lotto gambling at the local grocer...just to say we did.
We didn't win anything, but life is good anyway.
