Seattle



Monday, 4-20-10

The hippie van is in the auto repair shop.  Jack takes us for a drive around Lake Washington and we stop to throw the ball for Rexy.  Then it’s back to their condo while Fred takes a nap, Sarah goes to work at “Dragonfly” and Jack and I make cookies.  But not just any cookie, chocolate covered Ritz Crackers cookies.  You won’t believe these (food again!).  It is such a fun recipe and Jack and I get carried away with experimenting with different toppings.

Jack and Fred go to pick up the VW while I take a nap.  Then we head out to pick up Sarah at “Dragonfly”.  It’s an adorable shop with unique and interesting Asian imports:  jewelry, scarves, some small furniture, etc.  We walk upstairs and have drinks and appetizers for dinner.

It’s back to the condo where we visit on the balcony until the mosquitoes drive us inside.  Fred reads us the latest headlines from his laptop:  the volcano in Iceland, who got kicked off American Idol, Carrie Underwood winning a CMA award, and the fact that married people live longer than single people.  Then we do a “brainstorming” session on what time to leave for the tulip fields in the morning.  Sarah’s suggestion wins:  8:30 a.m.

Rex jumps up on the bed with us.  Fred scratches his ear as I doze off to sleep.
