To Quincy-Quick/Back-Slow

Sunday morning after Sharon's crazy party, Keith was kind enough to lend us their car to drive over to Quincy to see Dad Bell. It was raining in Redmond, but as is most often the case, the skies were blue and cloudless the closer we got to Quincy. We visited with Grandpa--very one-sided--he just can't communicate except with his eyes, but we knew he knew we were there because his eyes got wide and bit of a grin was on his face when we walked in. We left Quincy about 12:30 p.m., got almost to the summit of Snoqualmie Pass when traffic came to a halt. It was snowing, and there had been several wrecks, we so we sat, then creeped about a car length, sat some more, on and on. We heard on the radio that they had closed the pass on both sides, so we were lucky to get through when we did. We finally got to Daurell's for David's 12th birthday party about 6:00 p.m., when we had planned on being there about 3:00!

Also wanted to share a photo of Kami and Ben, as well as Lynette.

Sharon's B'day Suprise

It was hard to resist the temptation to harrass Sharon on this "special" day, so we flew to Seattle to join in the festivities. She did not know we were going to be there, so when she made the discovery that we were among the masses at Orams' house, she was pleased (we think). We stayed with Keith and Barb and had a great visit with them. We went shopping with Barb and bought some stuff from Kohls then had to haul it home. We went to Kohls tonight, and they had the same stuff we bought with Barb. Go figure!

it was a wild party, and you can see that Quinn and Taylor had a wonderful time jumping onto the Love Sac from the sofa!! Course the brothers look a bit more serious.
