Snow in Seattle


Missed out on posting last week as we were under a significant snow storm. Betty & Doug couldn't visit last week due to their roads not being plowed for several days and then a significant ice storm that made what was plowed very slippery. As you can see from this picture, their new puppy really enjoyed the snow however! She is a black flat coated retriever and in this picture is 13 weeks old. For more interesting snow adventures, look at this URL as it was filmed by my grandson, Jeff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYHhzigFII. Yes, he lives near to where this occurred and was able to walk to the park and take this video.

This weekend I did get to talk with Randy. Ken is in Tucson and was able to have breakfast with him on Saturday. Next weekend Doug is in Tucson for a seminar and is meeting up with Randy for a meal. So that means the boys have all gotten together in person recently!

I am well, warm, and cozy in my residence. It was fun to enjoy the snow from my window as it came down and was on the ground. Nothing like a cup of hot tea and a good snow storm as long as one is inside and warm!

The good news is that the snow is pretty much gone now and the weather is to turn sunny by the end of this week. The rains pretty much did in the snow for now, but can't say I am sorry to see it go.......

New Great Grandchild!


I want to introduce you to my latest great grandchild! Joey is just 2.5 months old and is the son of Marc & Maggie. They came from Colorado to introduce me to him with Ken. I had such a great time with him and my other two great grandchildren. Quite the visit with all of them and their parents in my room!

I will see Marc and his new son with Ken and Maggie at least one more time before they return to Colorado. What a great day it is to have 4 generations of the Marcoux family all together!
