Just for fun, I went for a bike ride yesterday in Sequim. It's a trail ,part of the Discovery Trail and runs (the part I ride) from Robin Hill Park to the railroad Trestle park. It was a nice day for riding, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the birds singing, and seeing the buds on the trees.
When I got home, I noticed all of my daffodils are out..here are a couple pictures of that. Also a picture of Madison with a hat we made out of a paper plate and ribbon. We try to be creative!
Have a good Easter. Our ward is having a special Easter Sacrament meeting, with the choir singing 4 songs. I am the pianist, so I am going to eat a big breakfast, so I will have los of energy for all that playing!!!

Before and After
Here are two pictures of the duhstrap chair...after the reupholstering and before. The chair has a history: Back in 1939 my father was riding in the truck with his Grandma and Grandaddy Binns going to Salt Lake. They had a farm between Pleasant Grove and American fork. Just as they were driving out to Alpine Road ( it was a dirt road then, ) Grandma Binns suddenly yelled,:"Tom, stop!" (Grandaddy Binns)- She had seen a chair in the ditch on the side of the road. She had my father and Grandaddy get it into the truck, and it has been in the family ever since.
The man who reupholstered it,said it was worth recovering, as it has a really good and strong frame.
Kind of like our family!
We have had it since we have moved to Port Angeles, and it has been recovered twice. I love this chair, not only because it brings back great memories of phone conversations with friends after school, but it is comfortable and makes me feel a closeness to relatives who have passed on.
Yay, for family stories!
