Hello again. Things are picking up here in the Pacific NorthWest. We left on Friday, May 6th for Grand Terrace where we visited with Roland & Dan, and then on to Palm Springs for the weekend until Tuesday. Although there were over 100 golf courses, we didn't play any. We did frolic in the warmer weather and took a hike to an Oasis (see pictures above of Murray Canyon). It was a short trip but we both loved getting to warm places. It is still cold and rainy here.
Our Thursday night discussion group has offered us new friends and just this morning I met with Betsy, Bonnie and Annie for a birthday breakfast for Betsy. We are learning how much we have in common and looking forward to more gatherings. Will has met lots of guys at work that he wants to spend social time with...we are going out tonight to meet a few of them..including the guy who held his position before him. I'm still doing the 2 bookclubs:"Still Alice" written by a neuropsychiatrist and about a professional woman in her 40's being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. The other book is "The Help"...a book I discussed in the South with a group of gals which shocked me. I'm looking forward to the discussion here in the West to experience a different perspective. Taking walks along the river with Suki and planning to take a few classes at Washington State U. in the fall. Work is still unavailable...without a license here, it's slow going.
We are leaving for Seattle on Thursday where we are attending the opening days of the SFF..Seattle Film Festival. Met some friends here from the local film club (no Palm Theatre here...nor even an alternative film theatre) so should have fun running from one place to another down near Pike's Market in the city. Got "Examined Life" from Netflix which we are
enjoying...check it out.."contemporary philosophy to everyday life by speaking with leading philosophers ...." 2008 by Astra Taylor.
Will needs to hit the Ocean soon. He groans when we see a wave on TV! Hopefully we can get to SLO in the fall. He's really getting tired of working. I'm going to Kannon's birthday the 28th of May so it will be my first car trip alone on such a long drive. Suki will keep Will company.
Be well and blessed. We miss you all everyday and do hope you will send us an email to say how you are and "what's up."
