Tulip Festival

I joined my parents on a ETA Bus Tours to the TULIP FESTIVAL on APRIL 16-17. The bus trip takes us to the Skagit Valley, Washington, with a stop in Lynden – a very Dutch influenced town, then on to Burlington, with special tours of Roozengaarde Flowers and Bulbs Gardens, and Tulip Town – Skagit Valley Bulb Farm Gardens.

Enjoy the pictures. Although a cool two days, we did cover a lot of ground, and the tulips were actually out for us to get a great idea of the amount of tulips and other flowers that are grown in this area.

Penny's corner

a few quotes I really like.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." e.e. cummings

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis

Don't get distracted by stuff happening on the sidelines. Keep your eyes focused on your goal.

You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me. C. S. Lewis

When you come to the edge of all you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly. Barbara J. Winter

To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make it so that you can stand in His presence of Glory - blameless and with pure joy.

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad. ~ Jennifer Garner
