David and I drove to Edmonds for a quick day trip to visit my aunt and uncle. It was a sweet time to catch up. We went to dinner in downtown Edmonds. I don’t recall the name but it was really good. They had a wall that opened up to a patio. My aunt and […]
David and I hosted an informal gathering for friend to watch the parade from our deck. Jules, Lisa, Matt, and Meghan joined us!
