A visit to Seattle

Bob and I made a brief trip north, he visited with his cardiologist, I visited with the Etzkorn's, Janine, Grandma Gwen and Jeff & Theresa. We must have squeezed in between rain storms as we had good weather (cold but dry) for the five days. We did the Art Museum, the Market, and had a great meal at Ryan's...his crab cakes were delish!

Goodbye Sue, Nate and Harper...hello, Janine!


Bob took the Sabari's to the Ontario airport while I changed beds, cleaned the baths and picked up my sister, Janine, at the Ontario airport. She was here for a week, looking at distressed properties so that she and Ron might have an escape from the wet, mossy, cold climate of the Northwest. We toured La Quinta short sales and drove to Surprise, AZ to look at what they have. We also dined out, shopped, swam, ate, karaoked, and even flew at kite for an hour....life is tough!

Donald and Donna (ducks) miss Harper Jack


It took a week for the duck couple to quit coming around each day, in the morning and the evening to be fed bread by Harper. He really watched for them and we kept a catch of bread ready for the feed!

Sorry Donna and Donald!

Activities for everyone on vacation...While Nate golfed, Sue hunted down a marguerita & Harper rode the Rooster




Harper at the fountain in Cathedral City. We always take the kids to this great fountain. I love the mosaics, and as you can see, Harper gets a kick
