Another busy week in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

The weather started out cold and wet.  This usually makes me want to make comfort foods! I'm still working on clearing out the freezer, pantry and cabinets so it was a great week for cozy, warm soups.

Chicken and rice soup with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

A traditional beef stew and French bread.

Creamy tomato bisque

And finally, sweet and sour glass noodle soup with peanuts.

Since I'm working days, I commute before the sun is up. 
There's a lot of new construction going on in our area.  This was my view as I stepped out the back door of my condo complex. At least the building is behind me and won't block my view.

This is just one of many festive staircases in the park I wank through to get to the light rail station.

This artwork just outside one of the light rail stops is HUGE!

There was plenty of celebrating going on at the office....
A couple of birthdays means lunch and (of course!) cake.

A record sick flight attendant call out means management gets to pick up some slack and FLY!  It was only a quick Las Vegas turn so I got a picture of the jet bridge.... Because we were available the flights weren't cancelled... YAY for management flying!

The next day we gave out 600 St Patrick's Day cookies!

After my shift for the shamrock holiday, the sun was out and the temps were in the high 60's so I went for a stroll.
It was a Sunday, so the traffic was light.

The buildings are tall. I love the reflection of other buildings in this unique structure.

Just outside of the Episcopal church across the street from Harborview Medical Center. Here is the pink variety.

And this is white version.  Spring is definitely in the air.
Get out. Smell the flowers. Take in the fresh air. Enjoy!

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...

 A really quick week here! I'm not sure where the time goes....  Spring brings all kinds of new. At work, the catering department showcased the new seasonal change menu for our flights. They work so hard to come up with tasty meals that can be re-heated in a tiny oven 30,000 feet above the Earth. My latest kitchen activities have lead to my new favorite treat. Dehydrated snacks! Apple slices.... Grapes.... also know as RAISINS! These are from red grapes. I also did some green grapes but ate all of them before I remembered to take a picture.... oops. Banana spears.  My plan is to try peaches, pears and pretty much any other fruit I love. The weather this week has been magnificent! Sunshine and longer daylight allows me to get out and walk about town. Seattle has some pretty interesting regular city utility pieces. The flowers are starting to peak out as well. I can't wait until they are out in full bloom. These are some of the cherry blossoms just outside my condo. This is...

 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...
