Don't tell Uncle John, but we had breakfast at a diner this morning. Steph hadn't gotten to eat outside the house in a while, and we had spotted this small diner nearby yesterday while on our Christmas Tree mission. Ed's diner is a nice place on the way to Burien. It has big windows, so lots of daylight, and we sat near the door with Bill in his seat on the floor. He didn't get much interaction and slept through it until Steph's food came. Bill was a gentleman, but had us scrambling for the check as he signaled his hunger.
The day was also noted by a quick trip to the grocery store. By the time we got home, I felt like it had been a full day already. I had previously gotten up early and gone for a run down at Alki. It was a pretty good length for me, and into the wind, plus some time running in the sand for my ankle.
We also had a visit from our neighbors across the street. Diana and Megan came by. Megan was born on Oct 31, about 3 weeks before Bill. We greatly appreciated them coming by to say "Hello".
The Christmas tree is a nice one by my standards. I tend to go with a scraggly doug fir, made even better if I got it from the Forest Service on some snowy logging road in the mountains. This year, I found a church lot selling them in support of their Boy Scout Troop. The Boy Scout selling them was clueless on whether it supported anything or not, but the adult at least had the story straight. It's a fine Noble Fir that I hope the in-laws enjoy.
