Seattle news

Ben is taking violin lessons.

Vancouver is a great city - lots of public art, beautiful and fun-filled parks, a fantastic aquarium, and miles of beach walks

Daffodils at the lake

We arrived this afternoon just in time for the rain, but it's still nice to see the daffodils.  Instead of grilling, we are going to eat at Zambistro's, Medina's gourmet restaurant, believe it or not.
Janice is doing well and taking only ordinary pain killers now instead of the strong stuff.  She was out supervising a cleanup on the canal when I called.

Janice had shoulder surgery today

Janice had a muscle reattached to the shoulder this morning.  The doctor was not sure beforehand whether it would work because the injury occurred last November and the muscle had shortened a lot.  But the good news is, he thought it went well.  I just talked to Janice and her arm is still numb but should wear off overnight. She is in good spirits except for finding out that she will not legally be able to drive for 2 months.  You may find more on their blog but it's not there yet. http://www.ourblog-mccc.blogspot.com/
