Awake: 7:48am Temp 41 sleep 7+39 mostly sunny overnight @ Everett, WA.
Ray & I Skyped for (54) min before breakfast; we always have a lot to talk about.
After a late breakfast, K & I motored to Queen Anne Hill & visited with the Nick family. K & I both spent some time playing with Jerry; Kathy more so than I.
Then @ 1:30pm, we rode with Nick & Eriko in their very slightly used Nissan Mini Van to 1st, drop Jerry off @ his pre-school & next, to the Apple Store @ University Village to check out these very popular computers.
Nick keeps reminding us that we should have an Apple computer vs. a Dell. "Much more user friendly & a delight to use" he has said more than once.
Nick made a reservation yesterday to speak with an apple expert today @ 2:00pm. And did Daniel speak; he definitely knew what he was talking about + demonstrating the laptop computer as he spoke. Nick was nearby catching every word & occasionally asking Dan about this feature or that feature that was over my head @ this time.
Yes, we bought a new Apple computer: A MacBook Pro with a (15) inch screen. Time was ticking & we barely finished our paperwork in time to pick Jerry up from pre-school @ 4:00pm.
Back @ the condo, Zack called with an invitation for dinner @ their place; "Katie is making a meal of her choice so come & get it @ 6:00pm he told me."
Katie & Zack surprised us a few yrs ago by being excellent hosts; this time they surpassed their record. Zack served us wine with chips & two different salsas: corn & black beans. Next he brought out the bacon wrapped chestnuts with BB sauce. Meanwhile Katie & Eriko were busy in the kitchen. The main meal was (2) delicious pizzas: chicken with pepperoni & Hawaiian.
Then the entertainment: Jerry first sang into the microphone, & then using WiFi, he & we played baseball & bowled using the big video screen. Then, the guy adults competed with the computer with race vehicles. Even Zack's roommate, Nate, was enjoying the event.
Thanks Katie & Zack; again you guys were great hosts.
Back in our M.H., we finished watching: "Anna Christie" with Greta Garbo, Charles Bickford, Marie Dressler, Lee Phelps, etc. Garbo is effective in her first talkie as girl with shady past finding love with seaman Bickford. Film is rather static. 1930. No comment from the peanut gallery.
Lights out: 11:49pm.
