Immediately following the class we went to Seattle to celebrate my friend Jay's 60th birthday at a restaurant in Madison Valley called Harvest Vine http://www.harvestvine.com/menus/default.php I believe the meal consisted of everything on the menu. It was a great celebration.
My birthday was the following week. Rosalie "snapped" this shot of us before we went downtown to celebrate. Although the month has been unseasonably cold and wet, Friday the 13th was warm and pleasant.
Roger's Dad, Al, was able to move from Auburn Regional Hospital to our local nursing home and on May 23rd, he moved into Village at the Harbour, an assisted living facility just six minutes away from our house. We are so pleased to have him so close by (where we can keep an eye on him). Here's a picture of his new room. Roger and I brought a truck load of his things back from Auburn to make him feel at home.
I must also mention that throughout the month we have met good friends for lunches and dinners. And we are celebrating the arrival of two new family members, our nieces Clare and Bina have new babies born in the last week (in California). Welcome to the world, Rafael and Nala!
Then my cousins, Chris from Oregon and his sister Jan from Hawaii, took a road trip to see the Washington cousins. Rosalie and I took them sightseeing and prepared a nice dinner with our local fare including venison meatballs and our own homegrown veggies.
The month culminated in a visit by my twin granddaughters. We had promised them pony rides in honor of their fifth birthday last month. Fortunately, the day was fair and mild. Lenora started out on Cowboy, and Iliana got Allie. They learned to lead, turn, and rein in their mounts.
Oh yes, we also went home with twelve new chicks:

And last but not least, we finally put the rebuilt scow into the pond. The girls took a ride on its maiden voyage.
