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.

The Tea Set
Seattle, WashingtonWednesday, 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.

Be brave, America

Went downtown this evening to join the throngs of people protesting the President's ban on refugees. Lots of people and lots of great signs. One of my favorites is pictured here.

Sholeh zard
Seattle, WashingtonSunday, January 1, 2017
New Year's Day with friends and time to try another Persian treat--this time a kind of saffron rice pudding--or perhaps more of a congee--that is traditional for special occasions. One day, I will find a way to visit Iran!
Here's one sholeh zard recipe...

Casting of tin
Seattle, WashingtonSaturday, December 31, 2016
Spent a lovely (and low-key) New Year's Eve with friends. After dinner, the hostess broke out the Finnish tin horse shoes, and we set to melting them over the stove--and casting the melted metal into a bucket of water. The purpose of this activity? Seeing what 2017 has in store for all of us!

Wolf sighting!
Pateros, Washington
Saturday, December 31, 2016
This morning as we were driving a few miles south of Pateros on Highway 97, we almost hit a wolf. At first Frank thought it must have been a large dog or a monster coyote, but it sure looked like a wolf to me. When we got home, Frank checked online and found that there is indeed a pack that was confirmed in 2015 to be the Loup Loup pass area. They inhabit a territory between Twisp and Omak. Here is the newspaper article from the Seattle Times.
