Ya-Ya Weekend Goes Fluid

Originally we were going to be in Yakima and then things got crazy for Katrina aka Flying Dog and so she opted to postpone until autumn. Not a problem, we can have a get together here in Seattle. Thus, the theme popped "Christmas in July" since I love Christmas and it was to be in July. We would watch "A Christmas Story" and play the game by the same name. Also, we would do a big theme dinner with turkey and all the trimmings plus gifts and a train ride up towards Mt. Rainier. Well, it did not quite work out that way. This was a killer week and I was not at top energy and Michael was in a conference a lot of the week. Rob & Jodie played host to his sister and husband on Friday and well, it rained! Yes folks, for those of you outside the northwest, we hit a high of 62 on Saturday and it rained. Thus, no train and we decided to let the weekend unfold. Well, read on and see how it all turns out. Michal and I stayed in on Friday and enjoyed some adult beverages plus Pad Thai. A wonderful beginning...
