Retro post #37 (while the camera awaits batteries)

When Julie and I lived in Seattle, we did a surprising amount of things in the 2 years we were there.  We definitely acted like tourists most of the time.  We did tons of stuff on the weekends and after work.  Julie was constantly driving in the area and spent a lot of time in downtown Seattle for her job – mostly at the library.  I was more cooped up at the University, but had countless rides on the University shuttle back and forth and definitely enjoyed the quiet rides on the bus through the city every day or two.  We went to Mariner’s games with our church, a Huskies game with people Julie worked with, and made numerous visits to Pike Place Market.

Lacking Visual Aids

We’re experiencing minor technical difficulties with our camera batteries, and so have no pretty pictures to share with you. So for today, we will have to use our imaginations to see the fantastical pictures that I wasn’t able to take.
On Tuesday evening I went Cross Country Skiing with Aunt Ruth, or I as refer to it, “Skies Vs. Bones, 2010.” I think our instructor thought we were all slightly more advanced than we really were, and proceeded to take us on a trail ridden with hills. Not cool. Not cool at all. Both Ruth and I had some pretty spectacular falls, which resulted in some pretty spectacular sore muscles and bruises the following day. But alas, no pictures.
On Wednesday Justin and I drove over to the People’s Meat Market to pick up a few things, including fresh eggs. I love the color and size variations in a reused carton of farm fresh eggs, just packed the day before, or even that morning. The great browns, tans, off white, and bright white shells. Two of the eggs were so large that the carton couldn’t even close properly. The resulting fried eggs were quite a bit larger than my english muffin the next morning, but oh so very tasty!  But again, no pictures.
Hopefully we will have either a new battery or a new charger ASAP, and we’ll get this blog back to normal!
