This was a spectacular day in Seattle, low 70's, no clouds, the flowers in bloom and too many things to see in just one Saturday. Josh and I were going to go to see a Zack baseball game, but got the times mixed up somehow, so we ended up going to Snoqualmie Falls. Snoqualmie is the English pronunciation of "sah-KOH-koh" or "Sdob-dwahibbluh," a Salish word meaning moon. As a spiritual place, it gave birth to many legends. One tells of "S'Beow" (the beaver), who climbed into the sky to bring trees and fire down to earth. The Native Americans who roamed the valley were known as people of the moon. So much for the history lesson. It is just flat beautiful. Josh has decided to move back to Rexburg to be with Liz, gee I wonder why? As hard as it is for "Oldie Weds" to be apart, it must be much worst for newly weds. He has tried his hardest to find something here in Seattle and it just has not worked out. So, John will be living in restaurants and delis again starting after Labor Day, "Oh the humanities!" Josh is an excellent cook. One of John's favorite is a chicken breast with maple syrup caramelized over it, yummy! It has been nice having him here with today as an example; we went to Snoqualmie Falls, to Pikes Place, to the Rock and Roll Museum, and then back to Mercer Island to throw the baseball to each other. Hopefully Sheri can spend more time in Seattle with John this summer, but she's going to have to learn to catch a baseball and cook caramelized chicken.
An ancient indian camp grounds is now over taken by Asian tourists. We didn't see any beavers or moons, but lot's of cameras!
I'm sure Sheri knows the name of this tree. Seattle has this most beautiful flowering trees.
Downtown Seattle Alley with great shops, music and, best of all, food.
