Never let go- Titanic sign & more

Well the 100th year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic has come and gone.  I watched endless shows on the subject and even saw the movie again in 3-D which was great.  I have a huge collection of books and memorabilia.  I made up this digital sign ...available on my ETSY under my digital sign section. 
I love this saying...so romantic. 

This is great for a Wedding or bridal shower

I love Halloween....and I know it is early but I sell Halloween all year long....People are so into it!

Me and my hubby are vets....so this is close to my heart.

We are very patriotic....this country is great!

What a great saying...so true....one should never give up on your dreams

More fun for weddings...remember when the wedding ceremony said...I now pronounce you man and wife?
How weird!  That doesn't fly with me! 
Have a fabulous Monday!!!

Spokane...spring break part 2

Here is Mr. Seagull....he wants some fries I think...lol.  I like Seagulls for some reason.

Quack...our river has so many beautiful birds.

BFF's....totally

This is a fabulous bench...it is a piece of art.

Here is the pony on top of the carousel.
These pod things were cool in this tree....I am sure many of you know what kind of tree this is.

I like old buildings and all these fire escapes

Selina and Einstein...he he he.

Dana and Selina.....ready for their Red Robin meal.

Our power company here in Spokane....once called Washington Water Power....cool old building
This is a shot of the water just above where the water drops off making a huge fall.

It was truly frightening to stand here....the pic doesn't do it justice....the water was rough and tons coming over the edges.

The spray came up and gotch ya.

The Monroe street bridge.

This was also scary....good thing everything is safe here.

Our park has so many bridges to cross the Spokane river

Selina had so much fun...she took great pics.

I wanted to throw a beach ball in and see what would happen.
Down below the Monroe street bridge....we got drenched from spray....we hiked all up and down ....and we had nice weather too.

Spokane Washington ... our spring break

This is our beautiful city...Spokane, Washington.  We spent a lovely day at our park...Riverfront park on our spring break last week.  This is the site of Expo 74.  We are the smallest city ever to have a world's fair. Our city is the 2nd largest in Washington state. 

The river is really high....and crazy full of water! In the background is the US pavilion.  It was once covered with white fabric....but it always tore...so now it is uncovered.

Under the US pavilion is an ice rink and carnival.

Here is part of the park and the Opera house

I love the clock tower!!

It is a beautiful tower...once part of the railroad....the site of the park used to be nothing but train tracks and yuck.

Lots of lovely sculptures.

Spokane Vietnam memorial

My husband Dana and daughter Selina

The clock tower chimes on the hour and sometimes sweet melodies.

Close up of the clock face....this is huge.

During expo you could go up to the top.....I was 7 and remember it...such a wonderful experience...we had season passes....which was lucky since we didn't have too much money.  We went down on the bus nearly everyday.

This is a part of the park kids just love...a giant radio flyer slide.
Sugar shack and Ferris wheel
This is the a look at the city...part of it anyway.

My new best friends....lol

Isn't it cute when they tuck their head for a nap!

This is our carousel....kids love this too!

This park is HUGE...we walked all over...I was trying to work off my red robin meal

I love this ....it is really close to the platform where President Nixon and Ford stood.  Later Carter came!
I will continue with pics tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting with me!!
