Oh, all sorts of good things happened this weekend. We watched the parade on California Avenue and it was a brilliant morning, after days of grey skies.
Some things never change, like the Seafair Pirates. Just new children to scare.
And surprise! Our Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin, leadin' the parade, workin' the crowd. For such a big city, Seattle sure feels small town sometimes.
In other news, Marji, Dad and Doodles arrived safely in Cripple Creek Sunday after a 2-day road trip from Las Vegas. They spent Saturday night at a motel in Green River, Utah (below.)
If all goes well, they plan to stay at our family house in Cripple Creek for 3 weeks. Doodles saw his first (semi-wild) donkey yesterday. Pretty exciting times ahead for a pampered little desert house dog. Good luck, Marji!
And speaking of adventures, Amanda and Nova went back-packing in the North Cascades this weekend. Three girls, three moms, and two dogs hiked a total of 12 miles with 3,000 foot elevation gain on the way in to the campsite. Now that's what I call ambitious. Not to mention, a real friend bonding experience.
Finally, here at home, we spent a lovely afternoon yesterday with our good friends Julie and her daughter Mary. I made grilled shrimp with pineapple for lunch and Julie brought a delicious orzo salad. Summer Sunday afternoons don't get any better than that.
