On Sunday morning we met up with Jill and the grands at Shenagan's in Tacoma for Sunday brunch to celebrate Isaac's 17th birthday.
Isaac's actual birthday was on Wednesday and he had other little celebratory events, but we grandparents got in on the good eating part. There are no photos of us eating and Isaac does not like to have his photo taken. Let it be known, though, that Tom and I delayed our holiday weight loss plan until after that brunch. By the time we had finished eating, the sky had cleared and Tom and I went for a walk there along Commencement Bay. We got in our two miles.
Once lined with lumber mills and fishing docks, the remnants now act as "sculpture" along the bay shore.
Chinese Reconciliation Park is a lovely spot dedicated to the memory of the Chinese who were the victims of bigotry and cruelty during the 1885 expulsion of Chinese Americans.
When will we ever learn.
Even in winter spring is never really far away here, as noted by the catkins of the hazel trees.
And the blooms on this Edgeworthia.
Satisfied that we had walked off a few of our calories, we returned home, where we settled in to read newspapers and social media until it was time for the Seahawks playoff game against Green Bay. We weren't favored and the first half looked bad for us, but our Seahawks overcame a 21-3 deficit at halftime to come charging back. Unfortunately our final drive for the win fizzled in the last minutes and we lost 23 to 28. It was an exciting season. Snow was in the weather forecast for overnight. How much would we get? People emptied grocery store shelves. Would it be "Snowmageddon" like last January? Well, we got none here overnight, and just a few snow showers off and on throughout the day so far.
So far the snow has fizzled. I guess in some nearby areas they got lots more, and there is more in the forecast, but I'll be just fine with more snow fizzle.
