OK, then

 

Snow in the forecast which gets everyone pretty excited in Seattle. How about that cheerful bunch of red tulips-- an impulse purchase from Safeway. What the heck, the grocery bill is ridiculous anyway. Not that long ago, it took forever to put away $100 worth of food. Now it fits in a couple of bags.  

I went to The Ukes group yesterday. Things are improving with 15 players now and quite a few new faces. Nice. Both sides of the room even manage to play together most of the time. Although one of the ladies likes to sing loudly and sometimes goes off on her own. It's all fun at our warm and friendly Senior Center. It's too easy to let yourself get lonely here in the winter and I need to go more often-- perhaps even volunteer there again.

Oh yes, that other hardy West Seattle ukulele group still meets outdoors. They haven't found a free indoor venue where everyone feels safe. This Thursday, on the patio outside the brewery again. Possibly in the snow, perfect for starting in on the Christmas music.
