Let's scrape some of that moss off that's been growing under our feet. We moved into the Perch on May 16. We celebrated my birthday and Mother's day on Sunday, May 14 at Steve and Bonnie's house. Steve manned the grill admirably. Great fun had by all. The following weekend, Lilac weekend, our friends from Filer, Idaho, Tom and Patty Losser, finally made it up to Spokane. Tom's son-in-law, Sam Snow, is this year's Lilac President. Tom and Patty had planned on staying with us. Unfortunately, we had no house for them. So they added themselves to the weekend's pinnacle of chaos since Sam and his wife, Christy, were understandably tied up with events. Along with Tom and Patty, we attended two: the planting of the President's rose, and the annual Armed Services Torchlight parade. The planting of the rose was quite something, and I hadn't attended the Torchlight Parade since high school when I spent the whole evening chasing short skirts and hot pants. It was all fun. We also had our friend, Liz Ulmen for dinner one night and Leticia another. Meanwhile back at the Perch, after consulting with Liz, we hung another piece of art, but are still waiting for the living room rug so we can install the TV and the rest of the art. Eventually our little nest will feel like home. All in good time. It's been just seven days, and as I said once or twice before, Life is good, especially today.
