Bellevue

On Friday morning we uprooted at Yakima and motored our way to Bellevue, Washington east of Seattle. Once we got settled we drove to the home of our good friend Shari Anderson for dinner. We had a wonderful time eating a well prepared dinner and catching up on the happenings in our lives.

On Saturday morning we drove to Bothell, WA to visit my Aunt Liz and cousin Rose Shatos. The last time I saw either of them was in 1962. We had a great visit and caught up on a lot of old family history. Looking at the quilts Rose made has encouraged Mary to get on with her quilting projects. Rose and her sister Lillian have an amazing ability to create wonderful quilts.

On Saturday evening we had dinner with Shari again at a great seafood restaurant on Lake Washington.

Once again we have not allocated enough time for proper visit. We will definitely have to schedule another visit to the Pacific Northwest.
