Fall dayZ

Even though we actually did see some (serious) amounts of snow the other day at the pass (OK, maybe not compared to parts of the Rockies, they've gotten several feet...), the weather in town has been all but wintery. Past couple of days have called out for shorts, and today, just back from mowing the yard and the leaves, it feels more like a great day in September. Sky is light blue, sea planes coming and going, not a cloud in the sky. Think it is time to take the dog for a run! This will not last...

After nice run with the (BIG) dog, we went over to Woodinville for a GREAT evening of fun and food with and for Magnus. He has after years of indecision, finally decided to go back to the motherland and settle in Gothenburg. This was really his last night wit the "gang", even though we sort of chickened out at the end and decided to return to (or with) spouses to respective homesteads. Could have been a great night out on the town, but this was just not the time. Everyone was tired (thanks to the Bergenheims' great cooking - big thanks).

Magnus, we wish you the best of luck in your (new) homeland and especially in your new profession. We sort of know you will not show in the Seattle area anytime soon, but it will not surprise us if you DO show up in the (southern) US again.

Apart from that, it was a great evening at Stefan & Yvonne's house. Good food, friendship, wine, desserts, cocktails, you name it! Just too sad we do not do this more often.
