Well, it didn't quite work out to write anything the whole of June, so I'll have to see what I remember. I'm not sure I have anything interesting to write about. When friends get together, we have to replay our current aches and discomforts but not in a complaining way. We are all glad to be here and as active as we are, so we enjoy poking fun at ourselves.
The weather is usually discussed every day - and not in a good way lately. We've had a summer delay until yesterday. After a few warm and beautiful days, we had rain almost every day with cold temps to go along with it, and I for one have enjoyed getting to stay inside. The cats and I even had a fire several mornings.
Now what has happened? Looking back at my last post, I realize I just ran out of steam and stopped writing last time. Noreen had a birthday June 1st, and we did nothing to celebrate until a couple of weeks later when we walked down to the closest restaurant and ate lunch at Infusion Bar and Grill. It's on our street, so we just have to walk a couple of blocks!
It was one of the warm days, and we decided not to sit outside, but when we went inside, it was a little toasty, even for us, so we changed our minds and sat outside in the shade. It was perfect. Just a little breeze, not much traffic - car or foot - and we shared our space with just one other family with a little boy and their dog - both very cute and well-behaved. We ended up getting the same thing - a Reuben. I can't remember ever choosing that particular sandwich before, but Mike would get one whenever he could, and something just drew me to it. Noreen had the idea at the same time, and we each got one. It was huge, so we had half for lunch and half to take home. So good. It was really a treat. I hope we'll do it more often. There are so many interesting restaurants we need to try - here on the Ridge, downtown Snoqualmie, and North Bend.
The family eats out a good bit since their schedule is so busy, and it's hard to cook vegan meals after work. They've found a good many places where they can get the things they want. At least once a week, I hear them talking about No Boat Brewing Company, not far from here. They have different food trucks that park there and some nice outdoor tables, so several families meet there and catch up on their week. Graysen particularly is pretty picky about what she likes, and she has strong opinions. I heard they were dining at a place called Saints and Scholars one night this week. It seems like a pretty grownup place, and I asked Graysen what she found to eat. She said, "A grilled cheese and root beer."
Food trucks seem to be pretty popular lately. They change quite often, so I guess there's something for everyone if you can keep up.
All the Win-Bins went to South Dakota for a wedding - Ryan's niece Becca. There are six cousins, all about the same age, so I foresee a few more of them. I was sent only two pictures, but I'm sure they enjoyed it, even if it was a quick trip. Maybe they'll share more of the wedding when they get settled back in.
Headed to the wedding. They had to travel a little bit from SD to Iowa where the wedding was.
And I was sent this picture just to remind me that Graysen is all of a sudden looking pretty big! Where's that baby?
I kept Gus again and kept up with watering plants. It rained the whole time, so plant care was extremely easy.
Woodrow got sent to be boarded in a kennel. I'm not sure how he liked it, but he was so glad to finally get home. He ran in, barely said hello to me, and ran over Gus to get upstairs, looking for the girls. No one was there, so he came down and stepped on his little button that says "Outside." I let him out, but it was raining pretty hard, and he didn't linger too long. Then he went to the front door and pushed his front door button to go outside. Poor baby. He had a hard time accepting that no one but me was home.
It wasn't long before Gus crawled in his bed with him and started a rolling and biting fight that they both enjoyed thoroughly. He finally came and laid his big wet head on my knees and decided I was okay if I was the only one home.
This kitten is the sweetest one I've ever been around. He loves to cuddle right under my neck and purrs so loud! He doesn't seem to mind staying by himself either. I tried bringing him over here last time, and the three cats did not like each other, so I had to take him back home. I think he would have been friendly to Bowie and Layla, but their yowls and hisses scared him, so he joined right in.
They are both sweet boys and love their children - and vice versa.
He does have a grumpy face though.
