The Bluest Skies I've Ever Seen Are In Seattle

Well, not the weekend I was there, but Seattle still is beautiful. The rainy weather and beautiful landscape were balm to this Pacific Northwest girl's soul.

I was there for an interventional radiology conference put on by the good people at UW. I learned alot, met some good people, and had an overall good time.

One of the real perks of being in Seattle was being able to go Trick-or-Treating with Shark Boy and Peacock Girl. Peacock Girl is definitely paparazzi-shy. I tried to take a picture of her, and she screamed and stuck her arm out as if to say, "No pictures, PLEASE!!" Here's a little video of them from last year. They're a little bit larger this year, but the costumes still fit. They also can walk and talk.



The last month, I've had the delight of being able to visit so many old friends who I don't get to see often. It's a joy to be able to see how their lives have gone forward, and how I and so many of them are enjoying blessings we once just dreamed about and thought might never be fulfilled.
