What a fun week I've had! My friend Ellen proved to be quite entertaining - although I'm certain she said she wasn't going to any trouble for the Monday night pre-Christmas Ship party, she set out a feast. There must have been 35 people in her house prior to all of us going down to the beach at Denny Park. The cold wind blowing across Lake Washington did not stop the festivities. A large fire kept us warm while carolers on the boats sang holiday favorites. Then we returned to Ellen's for more eggnog.
On Tuesday, after an amazing breakfast and a long walk with her dog Taz, she treated me to the Festival of Lights at the Bellevue Botanical Garden for a magical tour. Afterwards, we enjoyed margaritas with good Mexican food and girl talk.
Some highlights I'll blog about next week:
- Otter sighting in Juanita Park!
- Another dog for my tracking project
- Being mistaken for a homeless woman
- Sylvia, the largest tree in King County
- A fabulous lunch and tea near the bus stop in Redmond
Can't wait to hear about the homeless woman! Ha Ha. If the people we used to work with could see me now, they would think I'm homeless too!
