#36

Seattle, Washington
Friday, January 23, 2015

Friday night and the parents get dinner out! Where do they head? Vietnam House in the International District. Excellent food, quick service, and #36 (Grilled Lemongrass Chicken on cold noodles) is always good. As are the rest of the BĂșn dishes...

Wandering through Goodwill today to look for a few items when I noticed this arrangement in the plastics section. Here is the work of someone who takes pride in their work!

Spent most of the morning indoors playing, despite the cold SUNNY weather outside: A was intent on finishing her nature diorama.

The mittens live on

Fixed and ready to go
Olympia, Washington
Sunday, January 18, 2015

These mittens came home for a repair job after more than a decade of service. I wasn't entirely sure they could be saved but new thumbs were knitted and holes were darned. Mission accomplished. I think we will consider replacements in 2025: 52 in '25!


Getting a new thumb...


Darning the holes...

The tree is down

Seattle, Washington

First we broke up the Gingerbread Zoo and then I got the tree un-decorated and out into the yard. Once the ornaments are packed up, I will be feeling VERY accomplished...
