Last Minute

Beth and I were sitting at the kitchen table this morning waiting for her bus. Every Wednesday she goes to karaoke at All Aboard. Her bus was coming between 10:30 - 11:00 so she got up to use the bathroom one last time. At 10:28 I got a text saying All Aboard was closing for the day due to too many exposures to covid. They had already canceled all the DART buses and were sorry for the inconvenience. She was so disappointed. I asked her if she wanted to go down to the waterfront she said yes! I was shocked because she usually always says no.

When we got out of the car back by the street and behind some condos, the temps were very mild so we left our hats, gloves and scarves in the car. Mistake! By the time we got out onto the pier the wind was SO cold! So we found a bench inside a wind-breaker. 

We took pictures, watched the ferry come and go, admired the boats in the marina, and tried our best at some selfies.



 That's Mt. Baker. About 120 miles from us.










We left there and went to the grocery store to pick up some meds and saw some granola that made us smile! Purely Elizabeth!


What could have been a really sad day turned out pretty well!

God's beauty is such a booster on a bad day! Love the pictures and am glad you and Beth had a sweet few hours together while out and about!

Those cancelations are popping up everywhere right now.

I suspect it might have even been a better day because you both got to spend some delightful and unexpected time together. And I love that!

I love it when a "non-plan" comes together to make for a great adventure!!! Sure was some beautiful scenery and happy times. Thanks for sharing it with us. The granola sounds like it must be good. Did you get some?

Way to make lemonade, you two!! And thanks for sharing your striking photos of the day. My favorites are the one of Beth celebrating the granola (high five...I love granola) and the gorgeous seascape with the boats and the curved shoreline on the right. Well done!!

Glad you gals ventured out together. And then shared with us!!
