 Another week of training in my new position.  

Being a supervisor is difficult.  I had no idea how much our supervisors have to know and the amount of work they do behind the scenes. AND....how much they care!!!

This week we are celebrating the Year of the Dragon. Happy Lunar New Year. This is just one of the many small gifts we handed out at work.  


This celebration got me thinking about just how much of an influence the Asian cultures have on our society and mine in particular.   Here are just a few things from me....

The decor I have...


This is some of the beautiful artwork I have hanging in my home. 

The food I like to prepare....

My version of Thai curry chicken and rice noodle soup. Yum!

The environment around me...

A snazzy, metallic painted car I found in my condo parking garage.... I live in the International District.


Early in the week I received a sweet little gift from my #3 child. Way back in November, I had posed for a picture for him, but was told only that it was for a surprise later. I didn't ask any other questions.

This is the picture he took.


And this was the surprise! Well... it actually came as an unmade kit.  The instructions were online. That took about 15 minutes for me to figure out how to download and open. After that I spent about 30 minutes putting myself together! Except for the fact that it depicts me as a completely grey haired lady, I think it's pretty cute. 


Here's a guy I met at the train station during my commute to work this week.  

He walked right up to me. No fear.
Sorry friend, I have no snacks for you. Move along.

And this guy..... well, I saved him from being captured and eaten by the kitties in my house. Every once in a while a bird will somehow get inside the enclosed "petio" and tends to fall prey to the 3 feline whom I am lucky enough to share a house with. Why not "catio" you ask? I call it a "petio" because the pups also use it and I don't want to make them think I'm being insensitive and exclusive. 


I'll end the post with yet another beautiful picture of the gorgeous Pacific Northwest.

The Olympic Mountain Range.


My work buddy and I were up on the concourse yesterday checking on our crews, delivering goodies and offering support if needed.  I was standing at the window watching some of the planes moving around and all the people getting things done for this flight.  It's serious business in a fast paced environment and these folks are the best out there.

But off in the distance.... those mountains are just breathtaking! 

Take a moment to slow down and look around you. We live in a beautiful world!

Our arrival in Stockholm was a cold and snowy one!  This is down on the platform where all the train action takes place. This is one of so many artistic displays within the Stockholm Centraal Train station. The lights were like mood lights and were constantly changing through various shades of blue and purple.  Knowing we would be using the train a lot during this trip we decided to stay close to the station for the first night.  The Thon Partner Hotel Kungsbron did not disappoint. We had a spacious room with a hot water kettle and mini fridge along with complimentary coffee and tea fixings. The bathroom was a real treat with a private whirlpool tub and sauna! Breakfast was included as well.  We did a little exploring in the western part of the city and enjoyed a tour of the Stockholm City Hall.        The weather was gorgeous.... sunny and crisp cold. Warm coffee was needed. This is one of the many mosaic murals in the Golden Hall. It is flo...

Quite a bit of a change for me this week.  Not a lot of travel.... except to and from work. Sort of a new commute to the office....  (I was stuck in traffic, not moving when I took this picture). Temporary parking spot until I get settled. This is my preferred and usual method of transportation when commuting to work. Seattle has an amazing Light Rail system. But what is so different? Officially, a new position! But when I'm not in the office, I like to spend time at home with my furry friends. Here are some shots of Cleo, Phineas and Lily. And, of course sitting by the fire with hot tea and a good book! Remember.... Have a great week!

 Spring keeps getting better and brighter around the Pacific Northwest! City walks after work help to wind down from the day. The sights are amazing here. An early walk in the warm, bright sunshine. I've been working a lot at the new job. I'm still loving it! A splurge lunch at work. I'm not much of a fast food kind of person but every once in a while it's fun. I thought the mini fries were cute. Making new friends on the train home. There is no correlation between my earlier lunch and this sweet girl liking me..... Toward the end of the week we had a Summit Conference for work. It was to discuss near future work goals for all Inflight supervisors, propose ideas and ask lots of questions. Of course food was involved! This charcuterie board took up the entire table! Lunch time taco salad and then ice cream. This is (most of) my amazing work group in Seattle. Have I said how much I love my workplace?!?! An evening walk to get some fresh air. The city is beautiful in any l...
