It was a whirlwind weekend for me at home. Here are a couple of mosaics from my birthday dinner with the hubby last Thursday evening!
Palisade is one of our favorite restaurants in the Seattle area. The food is just wonderful and the view’s not so bad either!
For more Mosaic Monday posts, head on over to The Little Red House!
Happy Blue Monday and Happy Valentine’s Week. This weekend Hubby came down to California and we decided to try The Beachcomber Restaurant in Newport Beach. We were not disappointed! I found plenty of blue to photograph. We ate, walked and enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach. Winter is one of my favorite times of the year to go to the beach in southern California. I’ll show you why…
You gotta love a restaurant that has blankets on each chair in case it gets a little chilly! The blanket says, “Stolen from The Beachcomber”! The food was delicious and the view – amazing. Hubby and I decided that this will be a regular spot when we are down in California over the weekend.
So, if you are down in southern California, head on over to The Beachcomber. I think you might like it!
Now have a great week and for more Blue Monday posts, click on the pretty bird up above and head on over to Sally’s!
Hubby flew down to California and we spent the weekend relaxing and running some California errands. Last night we went to dinner with my brother-in-law and sister who graciously let me stay with them while I am in California. Nick and Vera have hearts bigger than big and we love and appreciate them very much.
We went to Zov’s Bistro. Wonderful food and great conversation. Gary, one of the owners, introduced us to golden berries. This is the only thing I took a picture of at dinner! Go figure!

My sister Ellen took me to Madam Fifi’s Tea Room for a belated birthday lunch! Oh my was it a treat! Madam Fifi is just a delight! If you find yourself in Bothell, you MUST enjoy a cup of tea at Madam Fifi’s!
We had the Grand Tea for Two and it was grand indeed! YUMMY!
Madam Fifi also has a bakery with wonderful cookies, scones, brownies and other mouth watering treats!
Of course there is a gift shop at Madam Fifi’s as well! I bought some teas to take home and enjoy!
Thank you Ellen for introducing me to this wonderful place for tea and thank you Madam Fifi for a delightful birthday lunch!
Flew home last night and had a hankering for a steak dinner. So, went to the Palamino restaurant in Bellevue. Check out the deliciousness…
Yummy steak! But check out the size of hubbies raviolis!
