stuck in rush hour traffic outside of Seattle, rob commented how strange it is that we manage to see Steve and Amanda so often, even though they live on the West Coast. it is strange, but good.
we arrived on Monday afternoon and stayed until early Tuesday afternoon and in that time, enjoyed wonderful food and conversation, even though we were still adjusting to the time change (it's hard to convince your body that it's NOT 4 in the morning after driving over 30 hours in three days). steve showed off (to our benefit) some of the skills he's learned in his cooking classes and we enjoyed salmon, homemade bread, hummus with red peppers and other deliciousness.
we also had the opportunity to visit their church in it's weekday coffeehouse mode. the atmostphere was very relaxing and artistic and of course, the coffee was better than most of what we can get in the midwest. we left later than we intended thanks to a welcoming space and good exchange of thoughts and ideas. it's great to have people with whom to discuss life's big questions in engaging and productive ways.
