On to Seattle for the weekend of special places in our life and special friends from over the years in the Northwest.  Judy had designed and we built a favorite home in Issaquah in 1996.  We sold that home in 2002 and I had not been back since.  I drove to the home pictured above, rang the doorbell and announced we had built this home and wanted to see it again!!!!  The current owners graciously invited me in to check it all out and it was a wonderful feeling to see what Judy had created and we so enjoyed during our time there.  I then went to the neighbors we enjoyed and found all of them home (surprising on a holiday weekend) and had time to catch up on our lives and those of our children.  It is very special to see all these friends again and it is those friendships that are so important over time.
