I knew what I said when I told you that I didn't have a pic to post but I just wanted to see what your reaction would be. I think that I need a better pic than that one. |

showcase Improv 201
Last night we went to Amanda's Improv Showcase in the U District. It was really fun & I was very impressed by these talented young people. They kept us laughing & guessing as to what would happen next. Amanda was awesome and I'm not just saying that because she is my daughter. I'm looking forward to the next performance. |

This is the story of a lovely lady and a handsome gentlmen with three adult children of their own. When the handsome gentleman has an accident and needs some help one of the adult children begrudgingly comes over to help mow the lawn and check the attic for monsters. The second adult child doesn't come over to help the handsome gentleman with his exercises or visit or take him to lunch for which the handsome gentlement would be so happy because he is very bored. The third adult child doesn't call very often. So this is the story of the handsome gentleman and the lovely lady. The End. |

I know it took up a lot of your time but I'm sure the wonderful memories from being with your mom for so many days will remain in your mind forever. I guess that I owe you a lot of sandwiches! Love, Mom |

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by going down to Portland for the weekend. Our anniversary was on Saturday & we had a great time. Only one of our kids called to wish us a happy anniversary. Of course you can guess which one called! |

Wicked
This afternoon Amanda took me to see Wicked at the Paramount. It tells the story of Glnda the Good Witch and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West before the Oz story. The scenery, production numbers and cast were imaginative, creative and the lead singers were very good. We both had a great time. Thanks again Amanda for a great Christmas present! |

Wedding Anniversary
Around 8pm 39 years ago today John and I were married. Our wedding night was spent at a hotel out by the airport because we left the next day for Honolulu and stayed at the Ilikai. My parents had purchased a package tour after John & I had attended a Don Ho concert. The only problem was that when we arrived at the hotel it was so late that we were too tired to attend the Show that night and a bimbo stopped by our room & brought some vouchers for meals. Then we found out the next day that our hotel bill was not being paid so we ended up eating all our meals at the hotel. We had to call my parents for more money. One of the ladies on the tour was related to the Seattle Police Chief so our bill, another guys and ours was paid by the time we left. But it did restrict our activities. I tried to play sleuth as I spied Don Ho every once in a while around the hotel. What was I thinking. We used to love going to the bar and listening to Joey sing & play his guitar and sip Mai Tai's. Our kids always complain that we are a very dysfunctional family(so whose isn't.) Maybe that is true but we love each other very much and have gone through hard times financially, medical problems and all the other things that come with marriage. Our faith has kept us strong and we have a very strong commitment to each other. So I feel very blessed to have been married to such a hard working, honest, good father to our children, most of the time upbeat husband, that has stood by me at some pretty wild times. |

Job
So now because the Doc I work with is going on a sabbatical starting in Sept until the end of January I'm being moved to another position on the other side of the clinic. The Doc I work with will be back at least for 6 months after his sabbatical but there is some speculation that he will be retiring. Also when he does come back he will be working in the am and the Doc he is paired with will work in the pm. So the administration feels that the gal that works with the other Doc should stay with both Docs and I would be the logical one to move. I understand their thinking but my new Doc will be paired with a Doc who no one wants to work with. She is very needy(always asking for help in things that other Docs do for themselves) and after she sees patients she types her notes in the exam room before going on to see the next patient. This results in the fact that she is always behind and patients are not happy. I worked with her Mon & Tues and she was very rude and condescending and grabbed my arm several times which is very inappropriate. Even though I will be working with my own Doc this high strung Doc will be in the same area with me and I'm sure that I will end up having interactions with her. I also will miss the people that I have worked with (we have so much fun) as well as hard work. they have cut back help so much that we have been rooming for more than one Doc which results in not very good patient care in my opinion. I have to change my day off, I have had Mondays since I started working with this Doc which I had to change from Wednesday when I started working with him. I would love to quit but the money is pretty good. |

Birthday
Thirty-six years ago today John and I went to Northwest Hospital and after 19 hours of labor Jason was born. We had previously selected Richard David as his name but according to John I told him after going through transition that I wanted a Jason Allen. I don't remember this as I was pretty busy at the time, I thought we changed his name after he was born. Anyway have a wonderful Birthday and see you tomorrow! Love, Mom |

So last night we all went out for dinner and had a great time and then went over to Pam & Don's for cake. Then Jason, Molly, Jordan, Cheyenne, Amanda & Eric show up which made my birthday extra special and we had a good time chatting away and laughing. We arrived home from our vacation on 5/29 and it was a fun, exhausting, interesting trip. Our traveling companions were John's sister Carole & husband Ed & their son Tim. We were on a tour in Italy and started out in Rome. We arrived two days before the tour started and visited the Pantheon & Forum. The Pantheon is remarkable & beautiful built without any support pieces and the ceiling is magnificent. We went on a night tour of Rome which was very pretty with all the lights and even saw that the lights were on in the Vatican apartment signifying that the Pope was in residence. We left on our tour & headed toward Pompeii where we had a local guide take us on a tour of the excavations and continued on to Sorrento where we visited an Inlaid Wood Factory which had beautiful furniture and I especially liked their jewelry boxes. Then we headed out to a very choppy sea crossing across the Bay of Naples to the beautiful island of Capri for two nights. When we landed we took a tram to the top of the island and the views were breathtaking, the narrow cobblestone streets wound down to our hotel and the path was lined with expensive boutiques like Channel, Prada and Valentino to name a few. According to our guide Capri is a favorite haunt of Sarah Jessica Parker's & the international jet set. I was not as interested in the shops as the view's of the quaint white stucco houses with flat roofs sprinkled along the hillside. The hills were topped with huge rocks and high up on the cliff we could see cars and buses driving along the mediterranean sea. We also got a chance to drive along the Amalfi coast which gave us a gorgeous view of the sea. We sailed back across the Mediterranean and drove through Naples into the Umbrian hills to mystical Assisi. We enjoyed a tour of St. Francis Basilica. There was a young girl Claire who loved St. Francis but of course since he was a Priest nothing could ever come of her infatuation. She had beautiful long blonde hair & he cut her hair and ordered her to start the the order of the Poor Claires' which she did. There is another church dedicated to Claire called the Church of St. Mary of the Angels although it is located away from St. Francis Basilica as they could not be close together. There is another story that St. Francis went through a difficult time and threw himself on a bed of roses in the garden which is part of his church. Expecting to be cut by the thorns the thorns disappeared & the roses that have grown there since & are thorn less. There are also doves in the garden that are there to this day. More later |

I can't believe that I'm 60 years old today. I feel like I'm in my early 20's, my co-workers can atest to that. We do have a fun time a work, you have in order to keep sane. This morning I went & had my hair colored and cut, although I don't have a lot of hair. Tonight we are going out to dinner with Pam & Don, Dorinda & Andy, Linda & Daryl and Carole. It should be a fun time. John just arrived with Cheyenne and we are going to lunch at Patty's Eggnest, more later. From the Birthday Girl |
