Julie came to visit early September and stayed for three nights. Sunday we walked around the Ballard Farmers Market, toured the Nordic Museum, and then Noah and Natasha and Jen, JC, and Rosa joined us for Yvonne's delicious dinner. Monday the three of us took the bus downtown, investigated the Central Library, stopped at the Public Market, went round and round on the big wheel, looked around South Lake Union, then checked out Sunset Hill and Golden Gardens Park. We had a great time with Julie! Sunday evening with everyone was especially fun: lots of stimulating conversation, empathy, and laughter.
