Happy day

 

Some lavish fish tacos last night at Seattle Fish Company, a seafood market nearby at the West Seattle Junction. Along with the fresh seafood counter, they run a casual grill restaurant with friendly service. John really liked the clam chowder and we shared a bowl of steamed mussels and clams. 

A nice feast topped off with an Opera Cake from the Metropolitan Market. I don't have a sweet tooth, but that combination of almond and chocolate ganache is luscious. 

We finished the day with the old Elvis movie "Viva Las Vegas" which John found on blu-ray. The best part of the movie (other than Ann Margaret dancing all over town in her underwear) are the scenes of the old Las Vegas strip and casinos.

And thanks everyone for your kind calls and messages. And I loved hearing the twin's sweet little voices. 

It wasn't exactly warm, but not as cold as usual at the coffee house ukulele jam. Everyone had a good time as spring oh-so-slowly arrives and we look forward to the months of playing outdoors without many layers of clothing.

Instead of the standard "Happy Birthday to You" they played the old Beatles Birthday Song. Can you imagine that crazy thing transcribed for the ukulele? Hopefully John Lennon is smiling down from somewhere, because we sure love to butcher his songs!
