Sunday... quiet, delightful moments

I had a great time last evening at the Life Center's Day of Reflection on Happiness. Left my digs at 11 am, got home at 11:30 pm, and took time to set my clocks one hour ahead.
Drifted into very painful needed five more hours of sleep Sunday, but started putting things together, one experience at a time... cleaned up, prayed, had breakfast, read for a while and then headed out to Tacoma Central Mall... Got this great picture and a mighty, mighty video clip of the late morning freeway travel there...

So please join me in my quiet, delightful late Sunday morning moments:
Mount Rainier quietly and grandly towered over the freeway traffic.

I stopped by the Wok Terriyaki restaurant to pick up a sumptious meal of chicken, rice, and broccoli for my evening meal.

This has been my restaurant for three years now and I have come to feel like a member of the family. I am always warmly welcomed and gracious served there.

I meandered over to the Chrevon Station off Twelfth and Sprague.

And I smiled when I saw two folks who were just leaving after getting their gas tank filled, give each other one of those GOOD kisses. I am sure they had a Happy Day this Sunday.

Then I headed for my favorite dvd place near Union and Sixth because I needed two dvds to get my block busted this Sunday... two thrilling shoot'em ups always makes my day a good day...

check out that pleased smiled on my face... ain't I something else!!

Give it up for Mount Rainier and our brothers and sisters on the move
