Katerina’s paw prints
The snow came as I watched the Seahawks win over the Dallas Cowboys. An exciting game and crucial for the Seahawks to have any chance of reaching the playoffs this year. Go Seahawks.

maybe it would be better to keep the photographer’s face a mystery as above
Red is the color for the season. My new hoodie is in aid of the Ballard Beavers teams. One granddaughter is a sophomore at Ballard High and a second granddaughter will be there soon. And Ballard High School BHS =BHS Belmont High School. Still singing the same old songs!

I’m working on a cap-sleeve sweater sort of choosing colors and making up the pattern as I go along. Pictured is the back just beyond the decrease for the armholes. I’m a few inches further along on the front. I was about to run out of the green so I chose more of the green – and a different shade of brown.

p.s. I should be writing Christmas cards instead of knitting or exploring my genealogy.
Julefest At Ballard First Lutheran Church December 6, 2016
Singing carols and dancing around the tree. (I’m on the right wearing the red Norwegian sweater} This is one of my favorite traditions of Christmas. Organized every year for the past 38 years by our Norwegian language teacher, Ed Egerdahl. A service of music and readings followed by traditional Norwegian food and dancing round the tree.
My Favorite Christmas Card December 27, 2015

This bilingual service was a highlight of Christmas for me.
Outer Hebrides December 23, 2015
The Hebridean Isle of Harris – the home of Harris Tweed – a favorite of my father whose memory we treasure. He passed away suddenly many years ago in 1949 at the age of 57. I was only 12.
