The weather cleared and all forces came together, making it possible for the teenager to finally receive her Christmas present from cousin TJ and 'mi. She was surprised and, as shown above, quite happy with it.
We all went to neice Sydney's second birthday party yesterday, then to see "Milk" at the Egyptian Theatre on Capitol Hill in Seattle. A very good movie and the events were ones I had been around for (living in the Bay Area in the the late '70's). I remember vividly the day Dianne Feinstein announced the City Hall killings. Ivey felt motivated by the film and we discussed the parallels between what was happening then (Prop 6) and now (Prop 8). This country seems to be treading water when it comes to progress in civil/human rights. Progress made, yet attitudes still remain. But with the changes in process, I'll keep the attitudes of Hope and Change.
Winter break is over; school is back in session, the roads are clear (for today) and no more days scheduled off for 'mi for a while.
The last two weeks were spent mostly at the skyline house for a variety of reasons. There were some bumps and compromises but all went well. Took a Fred-load to Value Village on Saturday - some of 'mi stuff, some of the teenager's and lots of J's. I'll say it again - I *love* decluttering! This week I plan to go through more of 'mi stuff and see what I can pare down.
Lots of family events in the past couple of weeks, but not California family. We'll have to work that in soon.
Back to work. Have a lovely January day.
