Great Weekend

The snow is almost gone now… a bit left on the lawn with our snowman reduced to a tilted lump. We managed to play in the snow a little bit yesterday when we went for a hike/walk at Cougar Mountain with C.J. and Mike. It was a bit overcast in the morning when they came over for breakfast, but by the time we set out, the sky has cleared up and it was sunny. We let Gander off leash and he did really well staying close to us. It was a very nice and easy ‘hike’.

Dan and I then hit the outlet mall in North Bend because he needs a ‘new wardrobe’. Because of the extra holiday sale, there are some amazing deals. This was really Dan’s first outlet mall shopping experience, and he was very pleasantly surprised by how cheap some things are. So I think I will get less resistance in the future when I suggest going to the outlet for a spin. He also said that from now on, if we need to shop for anything, we should check out the outlet first! Sounds good to me!

We met up with one of my vet school friends on Saturday night. Nenad has been working as an equine vet since graduation and he is in town for the AAEP Convention in Seattle. His wife, Tara, (also a vet from my school but from a different year) and his daughter, Katarina, are also here. We made plans to have dinner at McCormick & Schmick’s in Seattle and we were joined by one of his partners from the practice. We had a wonderful meal and a great time catching up and talking about everything from ski experience to world politics. Not sure when I will see him again, but it was sure great to be able to keep in touch with old friends.
