2nd entry

Just returned from a Japanese Steakhouse....a birthday dinner, almost didn't go...but glad I did.  So nice.  So cozy.  With fire and fun for dinner along with the Hibachi steak, chicken, shrimp and lobtser.  Paying attention to the little things...attending a 63rd birthday party for a friend. There were seven of us there......the granddaughter (2),  the daughter and son-in-law (30 something), the birthday boy (63) and his significant other (50 something). and us...(both 50 something).   Fire and rice....really nice. Something little that means a lot.    It was a rainy day outside, the cliche Seattle, but it was pretty sunny inside. I'm home now and smiling.....pretty cool.

OK...I had to update this entry on a small point...Seattle is very beautiful with sunsets to die for but these pics were taken when we were in Mexico in beautiful Ixtapa....I've got great ones of Seattle that I'll be sharing later...when the time is right....
