May Day Luncheon


Yesterday we were the guests of Betty and Ron - Ron cooked up steelhead trout and steak in their outdoor kitchen. We also had Betty’s yummy red potato and green pea side dish bathed in béchamel sauce and a crisp green salad. Dessert was strawberry shortcake and the strawberries were plump and juicy. The weather was warm and sunny…just right for dining al fresco.


Betty’s garden is blooming like crazy and the veggie starts in our sunroom are growing like weeds.

The flowering plants in the sunroom are thriving in the warmer weather and they all look so happy. (Yes, Teresa, that's our bromeliad in the corner - doesn't she look good?!)


Our private little paradise gives Sitka plenty of room to run after her ball and chase the little squirrels.



Mike is feeling stronger and Salem feels like home.

Looks like you had a very nice dinner. The garden areas look great and Sitka looks like a very happy family pet member. That is always good. Have a great weekend.

We are so glad you enjoy your home as much as we do - and we are glad to be able to share it with you!Thanks for the flowers - they look beautiful on my mantel!

And I am very happy that you have found Salem to be so pleasant. Any more news on the job front?

I've had several interviews AND I think I'm beyond dreading Behaviorial Interviewing questions! But no offers yet. Mike has a neurologist appt on the 22nd and I'd really like to be able to go with him so I'm enjoying the time off and getting ready to go fishing with him.

hi there,

yes, she, the bromeliad, looks beautiful and so do your other plants. sorry to hear about the tree-thank God no one was hurt.

i just got back from the women's retreat this afternoon. it was great not having to cook or clean-i had a super time. then i went to steve's place for a few hours and when i got back to lake stevens, i drove around looking at houses. we're hoping to get the best deal possible, who isn't? wish us luck.

say hi to mike for me.

i'll write more tomorrow.
