Awake: 7:33am Temp 35 sleep 7+10 partly cloudy overnight @ Issaquah, WA.
The Foote Family is leaving their hotel @ 9:00am this morning. Nick, Eriko & Jerry woke up early to have breakfast with them & to wish them a “Bon Voyage.” They expect it’ll be midnight local time when they arrive back to Indiana, PA. It sure was dandy that Kevin made it possible & Katrina could join us in having our mini reunion in Seattle.
Speaking of Katrina; Kathy calls her mid morning & they talk for over an hr on many subjects including furniture & roommates. Katrina plans to pick Karina up on Halloween, bring her to her condo where they’ll make supper and then take her “trick-or-treating before bringing her back to the treatment center.
Bill M. calls from Olympia, WA; he has a plan for tomorrow’s rendezvous.
Kathy does (2) laundry loads this morning.
I call the RV park in Portland & make a reservation for (1) week of camping.
Kathy retracts (2) slides in prep for tomorrow’s travel. Then I call Nick to let him know that we are on our way to his condo.
Upon arriving, 1st thing, Nick & I put the final touches on the radio wiring; push the radio into its slot receiver on the dash, snap the face plate on & give it the final test & “bingo!” Not only does Eriko have a better looking dash but she also has a good looking radio that works like a radio should + playing CD’s. This project is finished.
K & I play with Jerry for awhile during Nick’s rearranging of some of our family photos on line. Then K & I walk (6) min & attend the vigil Mass @ St. Anne’s church. When we return, Zack had arrived & a discussion about dinner was in the works; Eriko had a good plan but when Nick called that restaurant, the wait time was (1.5) hrs. Seems that every restaurant the boys called…long waits. Out of curiosity, Zack calls a local place where we all ate @ just last yr; he was told that if we came soon, the wait would be short.
The receptionist was right on; our wait was relatively short & dinner @ the Pasta Bella in Queen Anne was very good; K & I share eggplant stuffed with artichoke on a bed of pasta in marinara sauce & spinach, gorgonzola, candied walnut salad. I, as well as Nick, did carry Jerry around to distract him a little while waiting for our dinners to arrive; otherwise, our gathering & meals were great.
Back @ the condo, we say our goodbyes with love to Nick, Eriko, Jerry & Zack; then we do some quick looking for one of our favorite cheeses: Rembrandt aged Gouda. We found it @ Ken’s Market, close to Zack’s house. Back in Issaquah, we visit the Fred Myers grocery store for more milk & yogurt before arriving @ the bus by 10:45pm.
After watching the weather channel & doing a little organizing, it’s lights out: 12:12am
