Family in Town

This update is long overdue! My mom and Anne came up to visit me in Seattle to keep me company while Mike was still out of town. They arrived Thursday December 13th and left on Monday morning. Fortunately for me, not so fortunate for them, they got to be here when my power went out due to a storm with high winds! I impressed myself by knowing exactly where 2 flashlights were and matches to light candles! This happened about 5:00pm on Thursday. After playing cards and eating chips and dip by candlelight, the power still hadn't come back on and we went out to dinner with Katie and Jim. Friday morning the power was still out and since our garage doors have a key pad entry, I couldn't get my car out and therefore couldn't go to work - darn!! The power was back on by Friday evening and we spent the rest of the weekend shopping and then on Sunday my dad was in town for a layover so we spent the day walking around downtown and then met Katie and Jim first for happy hour and some pool, then to Chinooks for a fabulous seafood dinner!
