Home Sweet Home

Casa Sammamish is ours (and the bank’s)! We closed yesterday, after signing all the papers on Thursday. Two hours later we were at the Homeowners’ Association annual meeting. We’d met several of our neighbors through the effort to keep the golf course from getting developed. Tomorrow night we’re having our former landlords over for dinner, …

For the Birds

We started feeding backyard birds over 20 years ago as a way to keep our strictly-indoor cats entertained. The original name of the bird feeder was Phoebe’s Phly-In Caphé, in honor of our first Russian Blue cat. The feeders gave Phoebe and her brothers (Roscoe, followed by Jasper, followed by Luka) hours of tail-wagging and …

Bird Food

Here’s another post from my friend, Michele. I’ll add our take on feeding birds afterward. My grandmother, of blessed memory, lived for most of the years I knew her in the two-family house where my mother and her brothers grew up. The Friedman family had the second floor, with living room windows that looked out …

Feeding Between the Lines, Birthday Edition

The matriarch of our Friday night crew celebrated her 93rd birthday this weekend. This is a big deal, and rightly so. Family members flew in from Ohio and Maryland, including her first great-grandchild. I was assigned an appetizer, so I made chopped chicken liver. This is my first foray into making chopped liver, although we’ve …

Mid-February Haikus

On Wednesday I commuted by bus. You would think that a non-rainy day would mean a less clogged commute. You would think wrong. So out came the pad of paper for a few haikus. Another gridlock. Even express lanes are slammed On Interstate 5. An off-leash dog park Halfway up Capitol Hill. Never noticed it. …

Sunny Saturday Morning

As I mentioned in the last post, it’s been a record-setting winter for rain hereabouts. So when I saw the Sun out this morning and there was no frost on the golf course, I decided it was high time to get on the bike. Usually my first ride of the season is the relatively flat …

The Columbia City Crawl

To get Julian out of the house, we took a road trip to Columbia City today. This neighborhood is where all of the various ethnic groups in Seattle mash together. It’s rapidly gentrifying, but it still has an African-American vibe. Julian’s mother spent her last years in a nursing home in Seward Park, to the …

Victory!

A notice came out on local social media that there would be an announcement about the Wayne Golf Course today at 4 pm. This is the golf course across from our condo that the now-former mayor wanted to develop into luxury homes. I was at work, but Julian attended. When I got home, he gave …

The God-Awful Chicken Dish

Every family has a certain recipe that reaches legendary status for one reason or another. Recently in my family, it’s something that got the name in the title. I have yet to try it, since I’m on the West Coast. My mother hates it, but my sister Terry and her family love it. According to …

Haikus for a January Commute

The rain was falling, and traffic was crawling. What else is there to do on a bus than write haikus? Some explanations for the first haiku. STEMI stands for S-T elevation myocardial infarction, a form of heart attack. ED stands for the emergency department. I work with heart surgeons. Code STEMI, ED It means just …
