Mars Hill Church 

"Mars Hill Church is a group of people who Jesus has saved and sent to be missionaries. We come together as one giant family to worship Jesus in many locations at many times. You can expect a time of prayer and singing to God as well as biblical preaching every Sunday."

Canlis Restaurant

"Canlis is a place of warmth and welcome. Everything you touch is genuine. Everything you see is authentic. The welcoming fireplace. Mr. Canlis greeting you at the front door. The invisible valet ticket. With elegant energy, Canlis is a place of beauty, serenity and hospitality. "

St Mark's Episcopal Cathedral

"Every Sunday evening at 9:30 p.m. in the Cathedral's nave, the all-male Compline Choir leads this formal choral service that is a Seattle tradition."

Alice in Wonderland

White Rabbit
I'm late / I'm late / For a very important date. / No time to say "Hello." / Goodbye. / I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

Alice
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?

Through the Eyes of the Lens

I was going through my photos

yesterday, sorting, deleting,

saving, and most of all...

reminiscing.

The beauty of a photograph is 

it captures a moment; it captures 

an expression,a person, a location,

and it allows us to carry with us 

a beautiful moment that might have 

otherwise been lost.

The Sweetness of Sleep (Anthropologie)

Have you ever watched

a child sleeping? 

Their calm breathing, 

the peacefulness of the room...

This past weekend I was 

very tired. 

The morning I woke up

after having a full, restful

night of sleep, I stretched

my arms and watched the sun 

shining through my window...

ah the sweetness of sleep.

Peach

"One day I would have all 

the books in the world, 

shelves and shelves of them. 

I would live my life in a 

tower of books. I would 

read all day long and eat peaches. 

~Jacqueline Kelly

Life is bag of peaches.

Be the juicy one.

Kiss the Girl

A few nights ago I was at a home where the Little Mermaid was on; I was in the kitchen and could hear "Kiss the Girl" and I couldn't help but smile; so here is the song of the day:) 

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got alot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss girl.

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
The time will be better
She don't say a word
And she wont say a word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

(Lyrics:The Little Mermaid)

Taste and See

Coffee Drinks by Michael Turback 

 "At the turn of the nineteenth century Luigi Bezzera found a way to add pressure to the brewing process, forcing hot water and steam through the ground beans and into a cup, not only reducing brewing time but extracting more noble flavor, aromatics, and texture from the beans. His invention aroused a national cultural addiction and spawned the honorable profession of barista."

Working the Plate (The art of Food Presentation)

by Christopher Styler

 "Food presentation goes beyond the arrangement of finished ingredients on a plate...A chef's style is defined by (and evolves from)  his or her work experience, personal aesthetics, and environment."
