Winged week

This week has been mercurial. Both my daughter-in-law and I have birthdays. All three of my children were home, my son and daughter-in-law from the east coast and my daughter from Colorado. This feels luxurious after Covid-19. My son and daughter-in-law are making the rounds, spending time with her parents and friends on the Olympic Peninsula, Seattle and Portland, Oregon. It has been delightful and busy too and this is the first week in ages that I’ve missed a day blogging (yesterday) and I think THREE Ragtag Daily Prompts. I have driven round trip to Bremerton twice and once to Kingston over the last three days. My daughter leaves on the Port Townsend ferry later this afternoon. The cats are still wondering WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? I think that Sol Duc wonders, but Elwha is mostly just in a state of wonderment. He found my son large, fast-moving and quite overwhelming at first, even though Elwha is the biggest cat we’ve ever had.

The photograph is the table all decorated and ready for family guests, on Tuesday. The cats were quite mystified because they got closed out of two bedrooms for the week and then people arrived. Very confusing!

We had a lovely time.

Ages

Here is my daughter on the lap of her great grandmother Evelyn Ottaway. I think my daughter was a little over one and my grandmother was 90 or very close. We flew from Colorado and visited friends and family. My grandmother was living with my aunt Pat right then. My daughter was very relieved when we got home, but she let many people that she didn’t know hold her. This was the only time she saw her great grandmother.

No tomatoes today

No tomatoes today. Squash, yes, but it’s a long time to tomato season. But the squash is delicious!

I went to a March 17 party. I wanted to bring a vegetable and looked at my Immigrant cookbook, but potatoes were already taken. I took squash baba ghanoush and it was delicious!
