Farewells

Ten days and counting! Mike and I have entered the "farewell" phase - seeing friends and family and saying our goodbyes.

I mentioned recently that Mike went to Denver to see his daughter and brand new granddaughter when we returned from DF. Plus, we have seen his middle son (who lives not too far away) more frequently. And he has had phone calls from his oldest son in Eastern Washington.

Yesterday we met with my brother, cousins, and aunt for dinner at a hotel in Seattle. Our parents are gone so I hope my brother will keep up with the rest of the family so he doesn't feel abandoned.

Also, on the weekend we had coffee with a Terri and Wes from Duvall. Terri and I worked in the Legal Dept of AT&T Wireless as paralegals. And their doggie, Trotter, likes to play with our doggie, Sitka.

And to finish the weekend, we went to an open house for our friends that teach English in Indonesia. They just finished their first year of teaching and are spending a month in Seattle before heading back for year two. Denise and Billy were our inspirations to teach and we have followed their blogs (see links on my blogroll) throughout the year.
Denise used to work on Mike's IT team at AT&T Wireless.
