Awake 7:30 am Temp downtown 21 Clear sky 5 hrs 41 min daylight
Foote family arrive @ 8:15 a.m.
Kathy & Kevin make breakfast of French toast & bacon for 6 (Katrina spent
the night here). And for Nick, a special breakfast: Eggs benedict with
hollandaise sauce.(because he is leaving for Seattle today).
After breakfast, Melissa & I discuss how the home prices today are out
pricing the consumer's ability to buy a decent home in a respectable
area...especially for the young newly married couples. She & Kevin are
happy with their life, but a little frustrated that they may be stuck in
their condo for years before they can buy a decent home with some acreage.
Nick is all packed...so we sit in the living room & chat for 30 min before
leaving for the airport @ 12:10 to make his 2:30 flt to SEA. It was
delightful having Nick home for the holidays & we all, esp. Nick, enjoyed
having Eriko at his side. Afterward, we grocery shop @ Fred Meyer &
exchange some clothing gifts that were too large. As we arrive home @
2:50, the Foote family are leaving for their condo. We will see them
tomorrow.
Kathy & I attend 5:00 pm mass @ St Pat's church on time. A quick stop for
a food item @ Carrs..then home for 8:00 pm Dinner: turkey soup, leftover
halibut & salmon, carrots + toast.
@ 8:40 pm Katrina arrives to watch a DVD library movie with us: "House of
Sand & Fog." It was a very unhappy & sad movie, but...some excellent
acting.
Lights out: 12:02 am
