Birthdays and Bridge Fun

I had to lead off today with a picture of Myrt.

She's 94 today.

Last night at a family and friends dinner, she climbed aboard the sleigh provided for the event by Western Pleasure Guest Ranch.

With her are son Mel and his wife.

Happy Birthday, Myrt.

You're an inspiration to us all

and 

a darned good friend of my mother's. 

We all survived the re-entry of winter yesterday, although it turned messy as the day wore on.  Snow fell almost continuously here until 3 p.m.

We plowed the driveway twice, and it could use it again today.

This is the BIG SNOW EVENT day, but so far, it's pretty quiet out there.

I'm hoping the weather map I saw on TV last night was accurate.  It showed snow all around us and for some strange reason missing us completely.  

Guess we'll know before the day is out.

It is pretty out there this morning, and I do intend to go snap some photos.  Visibility yesterday was pretty minimal.  

Bill made it to Spokane and back for a meeting last night, so we're thankful for that.

I'll keep this short and just post some more photos, taken at last night's lovely "sleigh-ride" dinner at The Bridge.  

I added a couple of "thumbs up" photos----one taken in Seattle when Annie "hung out" with newly retired Seattle Sounders goalie Kasey Keller.  

The other was taken at The Bridge.  Janis (pronounced 'Yanee') has a production company in Spokane.  He came to America from Liverpool but was born in County Clare, Ireland.  Janis was shooting footage for a commercial.  I knew my daughter would approve of his "thumbs up."

Happy Wednesday.
