An Evening Out

Tom and Shelle took Ted and I out for a magnificent dinner at Place Pigalle. I have always wanted to go there, but I usually just suggest it to others, this time it was my turn!  I had pate, Salad Nicoise, and a taste of escargot. I don't even know what my companions were eating, I was so engrossed in my own gastronomic adventure.  What a lovely date night, and how nice of my brother. The men even went to get the car while we waited, freezing. I don't think I could have made it up the hill after that meal.

Kind Of Cold

Our view at breakfast, from the Corner Cafe.

The Museum Of Flight

We took everyone to the Museum of Flight, on the rainiest day I have seen in ages. I have never been there, it was so cool. I want to go back when we don't have a cranky, hungry toddler with us, although it was so fun hearing him say "wow" every time he looked up.

Snow Day

Three generations of Brown boys.

Shelle and Tom drove the grand kids to Snoqualmie to see the snow, since they have never had the experience. Turns out they could have just waited a few days, when it snowed in Auburn.

Top Chef Seattle

Shelle wins the colored hair portion of the competition.  She made many wonderful dishes for us during her visit. While everyone was here, my garbage disposal went on sabbatical, resulting in a flood under my sink.  Then Thanksgiving night, while we were all in a food coma, someone smashed in my car window.  My guests had to drive around in a car that had Batman duct tape over the window hole. So classy.

Enthralled

Tanner man was quite enthralled by train videos. Also anything involving dump trucks...I miss having a little boy!
