Seattle!

Here we are in Seattle. Guess what? It's raining!

Paul and Grandma Joy live in the woods -- this morning the sun came up over pines and rhododendrons. It's definitely another world up here, and very beautiful.


Thanksgiving tomorrow and the wedding on Saturday. Needless to say, the place is in motion. Today, The Great PD and Plottie will be getting stuff ready for dinner tomorrow at 5pm. Potatoes are a-boilin' for eatin,' sweet potatoes for pie and beets for Beaujolais Beets (thank you, once again, Margaret Fox at the late lamented Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino), and it's only 9am.

The Great FiveHead caught a bug on the plane but it seems to be gone today. It's wonderful to see everybody. The walls in Grandma Joy's kitchen look like the walls at Headquarters: Isabella drawings.

This morning she is spraying everybody for...well, no one knows what for.
