I didn't post yesterday because it was Sweet Hubby's birthday, and on that day I turn myself over to him for whatever his heart desires. It was a lovely day, including tunnel flying with a good friend, lunch at a swell seafood restaurant, and a cozy evening at home.
Today: I was invited to join a group of friends to celebrate a birthday (so many September birthdays!), and since we were gathering in a neighborhood I seldom visit, I decided to arrive early and walk around, not with any agenda but just to enjoy new houses and gardens, new streets, a new park.
One of the aspects of Seattle I most enjoy is that every neighborhood has a distinct character and flavor. This neighborhood, Magnolia, is quite hilly, seems to be monied, at least on the streets I explored, and has a cute little 'downtown'. Because of the hilliness (some people get trapped in their homes when the roads are really icy) and the fact that Magnolia is sort of isolated and not that easy to get to, Sweet Hubby and I didn't consider it as a place to live, but it's lovely to visit, and those hills do make for good, vigorous walking.
