Postscards from Seattle, WA – Eagles in Concert 2010

Posted on by

It seems to be a long time coming – the concert that is. We had tickets for the 13th and well it didn’t happen. They rescheduled for the 26th so we headed downtown once again. Lucky us we for sure had a fabulous time, they played for ever it seemed and we were upgraded to the first row!!! Ok now this would not have happened if I hadn’t had my hip replaced and attended in a wheel chair – and when they asked if we would move from row 25 to row 1 we said sure why not?

Nice evening we stayed downtown and walked (ok wheeled LOL) to Key Arena.

Mt Rainier

Sunrise and Dad’s status

Posted on by

To begin with, this was sunrise this morning. Sure is nice to have that first cup of coffee and watch the sun rise and see how the mountain changes. But I have been remiss about making a post regarding my Dad. For those that know what happened.

The court date was 1/24 and Dad and many friends showed up at court along with the Attorney for the other side. But not the two German guys that did the beating. The Judge was not happy that they didn’t show up and scolded their Attorney. So things are not settled at all. New court date is 6/30 now.

Will keep you posted.
