Allow me to indulge myself






You know how people love to show pictures of the kids? Well, these are some of mine. Forgive me, or skip them if you like.
1) Lisa and Joe on the rooftop with their "Lola" baby. Mt. Rainier is in the background giving me the willies, but it doesn't show up in the photo. They overlook Puget Sound and can see Alaskan cruise ships departing and arriving all the time. Turn the other way on their rooftop, or look out Lisa's kitchen window, and the Space Needle is in full view. Wow!
2) Brad and his roomies, two friends from Ohio, Chris (left) and Kyle (center), on the balcony of their apartment. Brad walks or bikes everywhere and is enjoying the city. He's full-time manager at Kitts Photo in a nearby mall that's the end of the line for the monorail.
3) Aaron and Brad at the top of the Space Needle.
4) Dinner at "The Marakesh," a Morrocan restaurant. Five courses, no forks, no knives, no spoons. No belly dancers either, which was disappointing, but maybe they were waiting for us to leave. We had fun anyway.
5) This is not a bagel. It's a Top Pot DONUT! Coming soon to a Starbucks near you. I did say "Allow me to indulge myself," didn't I?
Keep checking back, we finally got the pictures loaded.

Hi Sharon! Good to hear from you. Yes, they're growing up. Bet your's are, too. Brad, Joe and Lisa are enjoying Seattle, and learning a lot. They seem pretty settled, liking their jobs, liking the area. Joe & Lisa have found a church they're interested in joining. Joe took Aaron to work with him while we were there. Aaron thought architecture was pretty cool, and had a great time.
Thanks for asking!

Mom,
We had so much fun with the three of you. I wish you were here all the time. Tell Sharon, that we love Seattle! And if she ever would like to visit she has a place to stay.

Love you!!

Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
