My favorite places

Today I should have been cleaning the house and preparing for my upcoming Seattle trip.

Instead

I spent quite awhile at St. Mary's Church of the Frescoes.

 I found my favorite spot down by the water in the Lansing park to read.

Finally, I went to spend some time with my good friend, Donna, whose mother passed away recently.

My favorite painting entitled "The Laughing Christ"

I know I have shared pictures of Saint Mary's before, but I spend a lot of time there, and it really is my favorite place.

My favorite reading spot, down by the creek, in the Lansing park.

You know you live in a small town when a chicken literally crosses the road :)
