The first weekend in September, I spent the weekend in Seattle at Michelle's. It was great to be with her. I learned recently that even if our parents had 300,000 billion children, it's unlikely that two would be exactly the same. Wow! So, my sister is like one in 300,000 billion (or more). I'm enjoying our differences more all the time, and finding lots to admire in her...like all the things I laughed at through middle school and high school (what a bratty little sister I have sometimes been). Michelle took me on a walk through Ravenna Park, just up the block from her place. It was an awesome day.
Hanging out under the bridge
One of these pictures is me, in case you can't tell, but I'm wearing her very cool skirt, which she gave me before I left!
Playing frisbee. It wasn't exactly ultimate frisbee, but Michelle got plenty of exercise running after my miscalculated throws. : )
This guy, Michael, joined us for some frisbee. He taught us a few throwing methods too. He could throw it so that it started out right-side-up, but flipped in the middle to upside-down, and then floated down...it was really cool. He didn't even try to teach us that one.
Introducing Toast:
I've been telling people about him ever since I returned from Michelle's. He's the cat she adopted this summer. His name described his condition when her friends found him. We don't really know his history...how did he lose his left front leg?? He is quite well-loved in Michelle's apartment building. Notice the green floor in Michelle's apartment!
He was very generous in sharing the bed with me and Michelle. Not the first time the two of us shared a bed with an orange cat. We did that for a while in high school too...and survived.
We ate at a Brazilian restaurant in Michelle's neighborhood, and the musicians were awesome. Food was great too.
Michelle brought me breakfast in bed! Salad for breakfast! Yeah, some people would that think that is weird, but I felt spoiled rotten.
Sunday we ate lunch at Suzette's with Shauna and Stacey. Then Shauna and I headed back home to Oregon.
Time has gone by quickly since that weekend, but I'm still enjoying the memories. This blog used to be "chronological", but I think that there won't be any logic to the order of things for the next little bit.
