On the last weekend of the June to my surprise the sun appeared in the Seattle sky. Julia and I were invited to a BBQ to beat all others. We went to a Tom and Martha's absolutely fantastic home on Lake Washington. Here we sat on the dock and sipped drinks and visited. Later, when the sun on the dock was intruding on our shaded location we moved to the shade of the house. Tom set fire to the BBQ and placed the salmon on the heat. Soon after we were enjoying delicious perfectly cooked salmon, yes it was expertly seasoned with garlic. Martha prepared darn near everything else that made it possible for Tom to present the salmon to the table. The two worked way to hard and each complemented the others talent perfectly. Everyone brought a little something delicious to make the day perfect. When the food was properly devoured we all watched as Birthday boy Greg, who is now 60, open his birthday cards, I was amazed at his ability to open and read each card at such an advanced age. Lisa, his lovely wife never helped him once :~). Ann and Dave can not be left out here either, Dave in his pastel tie-dye shirt and Ann with her urban streets runner's road rash provided excellent conversation starters. Really you didn't need to do all that to make me feel comfortable, but thanks you anyway. I had a great time visiting with everyone and look forward to many more gatherings.
