Presidents' Day 2017

Seattle, Washington
Monday, February 20, 2017

This afternoon I hosted my first Presidents' Day party. All comers were invited to participate--whether it was eating Presidential Jelly Beans, answering presidential trivia, pinning the tail on the Elephonkey, or defending their favorite PAST American president.

No lie: I had a good time.

Snow day!

Wow! A real Snow Day--and one that caught most of us by surprise. 5-6 inches here in the Central District: enough snow for good sledding and lots of pretty pictures, too.

Parents' night in

Seattle, Washington

It was unexpectedly Parents' Night Out--but we opted for take-out sushi from Uwajimaya and a Night In instead. The simple pleasures are my favorite.

Surprised myself this evening by almost completing another baby quilt. Something about winter just makes me want to sew...

The Tea Set

Seattle, Washington
Wednesday, February 1, 2017

My mother just keeps uncovering lost treasures from somewhere in her basement. The latest item to emerge is this glass tea set that I played with in the 1970's--and SHE played with in the 1940's. A and I enjoyed our first "tea party" this evening. The tradition continues.
