Rambling bits

We only have one movie theater in Ellensburg.  I’m told there were 3, but 2 theaters turned into churches and one church that I know of that turned into a cafe.  Recycling Ellensburg style!  More churches – good, more cafes with great food to go to after church – even better!  I love the Yellow Church cafe.  Its cozy, creative, and wonderfully delicious.  We ate there the very first time we came to check out this town.  I wasn’t sure just how far ‘out’ in the country we were and as I’m not a big ‘biscuits and gravy’ kind of gal, I was a bit anxious until I saw that there was feta cheese on the menu and I remember thinking… “Oh yeah, I’ll be alright.”

We’re gearing up for a summer with a farm full of teens.  My step son is all boy and has no interest in sleeping in a ‘girly’ room.  Little does he know, that we’re planning on keeping him so busy that he’ll just fall asleep almost anywhere.  However, I did want his room to look good, so with 4 baseballs and a little glue, I turned this old canopy bed into a one of a kind all American boy’s room.

We’ve plenty of room for the teens with everything they need (well, except for maybe a bathroom) in our wonderful upstairs where there are 3 large bedrooms and not a one of them is square!  All have slopping ceilings or dormers and tons of personality.  The landing is just right for a TV and kids’ games or as the teen says, “our media center”.  The wooden floor is painted a gray-blue and has been roughed up over the years, the light switches don’t turn off the light you were expecting, the doors squeak, the windows are drafty and

we love it.
