in Seattle

[kareina]

I've had a peasant couple of days of travel. Got a ride from my knight to Longbeach, were we enjoyed the hospitality of a rented beach house with josiestraka and her family/friends. This included several long walks along the beach, much good food, and good company. The drive out to the beach house included such highlights as a stop at "Dismal Niche", which name was truly irresistible. Apparently this was the place that Lewis & Clark's party spent many days trapped due to torrential downpour before they could commence their return journey, having successfully found the Pacific Ocean.

Today I've made the trip up to Seattle, and am at my sister's house. I can be reached on my mother's cell phone (206) 484-5960 for those of you who are local--I'd like to see as many folk as I can before I leave town on the 3rd. My oldest niece is now nearly five years old, and she seems to take more after me than her mother in terms of personality. She helped me bake a loaf of bread tonight (I mean that literally--she was truly helpful). Note, she make take after me, but she looks just like her mother did at that age. You can't fool me, sure the eyes are brown and not blue, and the hair may be brown not blond, but that is my little sister, I am certain of it.

Seeing children after a long time is a bit of a shock. It's been ten years since I was last over here, so the only youngster I've seen so far, who is now 11, was 1 when I last saw him....
