beautiful music, we drove, (while munching on cheese,crackers and fruit), to Liz's house to ride with them to Cross Country at Woodland Park.
Cross Country involved all parishes plus some private schools. Lots of runners. The grades were four through eight. The course for older grades is 1.7 miles, up and down hills etc. Zoe and Sami both ran very well for OLG.
After the run we went back to Liz and John's for a birthday dinner for Joe. Our son, John, and Grandchildren, Sami and Alex were also there. Both families live in West Seattle.
Food was delicious. Liz prepared salmon, brussels sprouts and broccoli and our son John prepared ribs with pineapple.Liz also had pigs in a blanket for kids but we all had a taste. She used Hebrew Nationals and an excellent bun. All food was delicious.
I wonder why our kids are such good cooks. It must be the love of good food gene.
I brought a cake which was OK. It was low carb version of a great recipe, that I haven't perfected as yet. Good taste, but texture a little crumbly. It was saved by a dollop of Tillamook Old Fashioned Vanilla ice cream.
Love to watch the Grandchildren visit. They were looking through Zoe's school annuals, getting a laugh at her old class photos. Zoe is an old lady of 12. Sami and Alex are 13. Really old.
Liz's husband, John brought out the cake complete with candles. Joe really appreciated everyone's thoughtfulness.
Then John asked Joe about his memories as a kid. WWII etc. It was interesting to hear Joe reminisce.
