Off to Bellevue

I'll be heading up to Bellevue, WA to spend the weekend with my aunt and grandmother for my maternal grandmother's 90th birthday fete. My aunts and uncles and mom and stepdad will also be there. I don't expect any drama, though there may be some awkward. I don't have a laptop, so I'll be unplugged until my return Sunday evening. I have my two current writing projects, though, and a knitting project (pictures soon) that I'm hoping my grandmother can help me fix. I think she'll get a kick out of that. I'm also wearing a cardigan she knitted for herself in the 60s and am taking the skirt (it was a suit) and will wear that to the event this afternoon at her living facility. I suspect she'll take great pride in pointing out that things she knitted 40 years ago are still being worn!

You all be good to yourselves. And [livejournal.com profile] wolfiekins, it was so great to talk with you a couple of days ago. I've missed our phone calls!

Have a safe trip and a great visit with your family! I look forward to reading about it when you get back. :-)

You have a 60s suit that your grandmother knitted? Wow! That must be really cool! Sixties knitting was a remarkable thing.

Safe journey!

And enjoy WA! I miss it!

I'm glad you clarified this. In New York, "Bellevue" is understood to mean a mental hospital. I'm not sure why--it's a regular hospital, but for some reason nobody seems to remember that.

Oh, have a lovely time with the fam. hopefully there won't be too much drama. I know your gramdmother will be thrilled that you're still wearing that outfit.

I noticed in a post or two ago you talked about "Lord John Grey and the Private Matter" what so funny is I just myself two weeks ago, borrowed the first two books in the series from the book store I work at. Probably around the same time you were borrowing the cd's from library. Great minds and all that, right? I'm enjoying what I've read so far. Did you ever read her Outlander Series? I haven't yet, but have most all of them somewhere? *lol*

Talk to you soon!
