Awake: 6:01am Temp 64 sleep 6+58 sunny elevation 121 ft.
overnight @ Bothell, WA.
Kathy watches “The View” program on ABC starting @ 8:00am. After that, she
tunes in the movie: “Flight of the Phoenix” with Jimmy Steward, one of my
favorites. Try as I might, I could not ignore that movie being shown in
the bedroom; once too often I’d walk in there & watch a scene that I
wanted to see again after so many yrs have gone by….until Kathy hints:
"maybe we should have breakfast & watch the rest of this movie in the
living room." So I finally succumbed & finished watching the remainder
over breakfast.
I had to tell Kathy how Paul Mantz lost his life making that film during
1965. Later this evening, she Googled Paul Mantz & found more technical
information & pictures of that tragedy.
After lunch, we drive to downtown Seattle (35 min), park @ 1st & Lenora,
then shop for Nick & Eriko’s anniversary gift @ the World Market. After
that, we drive to Mercer Street, shop for a gift bag @ Bartells. Next we
drive up the Queen Anne hill, find a parking space & visit with Eriko &
our new grandson Jerry Youkoh for about 30 min before our boys arrive from
working @ Isilon. Jerry was sleeping when we arrived but eventually, he
woke up. He is sooo cute & keeps such good eye contact when one is talking
with him. We presented the anniversary gift to Nick & Eriko (wine glasses)
& some infant clothing for Jerry. Kathy washed the wine glasses & we had a
good gab session over the wine which Nick poured into the new glasses
before going to dinner. Eriko, Nick, Jerry & Zack all look good & happy.
Both boys appear content with their work with Isilon & like their new
building.
Around 7:30 we start walking along Queen Anne Ave to the restaurant
“Vincenzo’s” for dinner. A nice casual 20 min walk….Nick pushing Jerry in
the stroller with Eriko @ his side & Kathy, Zack & I following. We sit
outside with sunshine & a welcome cool breeze to eat our dinner. K & I
share a Lasagna meal with a salad. We eat & talk until 9:00pm then walk
back to our car, say our goodbyes for now & return to our bus around
10:30. I-5 traffic was heavy & fast moving.
