*It was a full and fun day in the Seattle area today with Brenda, Karla and Tina.
*We started the morning walking through the Magnolia Neighborhood that overlooks Puget Sound. I loved seeing all the beautiful homes as we strolled along.
*Tina drove us downtown, and we had a special treat of eating at Toulouse Petit Kitchen and Lounge, a a New Orleans-inspired restaurant offering the best in Louisiana cuisine. I had a delicious combination of Cauliflower Soup with Dungeness Crab and a Creole Grilled Gulf Prawn and Avocado Salad. It was delicious. Apparently this restaurant is very well known nationally. It was a really special treat to eat there.
*Then we walked down to the area around the Space Needle. We enjoyed watching kids play in the fountain, and walked through the Italian Cultural Festival.
*We drove back to Tina’s house, packed up, and drove to Karla’s house in Lake Stevens. What a lovely home Karla and Terry have in a beautiful area. We all had to drive separately to Karla’s house, because we all were needing to leave at our own times the next day. So Karla arrived at her home first, then Brenda and I arrived. When Tina arrived, she had a couple extra “guests” with her....a pair of German Shepherds on the loose that had come into Karla’s neighborhood. There was a tag on one of them, so the owners were called, and they came and picked up their dogs. The dogs apparently like to escape and run away from home every so often. They were wonderful, friendly dogs. We were glad they were reunited with their owners.
*We went to a place called Rascals to have dinner, and participate in some karaoke singing, something that I have not experienced a lot of in my life. But it was actually really fun. Tina, Karla, Brenda and I even did a tribute to our Freshman year at Kellogg Junior High School by singing the Barry Manilow classic Looks Like We Made It, which was the theme of our Freshman Dance. We also did a rendition of Abba’s Dancing Queen. It was a really fun night with long time friends, and meeting new friends as well.
