Seattle Brain Cancer Walk, family visits

Many thanks to all of you who made donations to the Brain Cancer Fundraiser/Walk last Saturday, and to those of you who were able to join us there. A special thank you to the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, who were an official sponsor of the event, and an extra special thank you to the cello section, who came along and serenaded the participants.  More pictures here. (BTW it's not too late to contribute.)

Meg was very happy to experience everyone's support, and was very moved to see her fellow orchestra members there, walking and performing. She continues in excellent health and has started practicing her clarinet again, in preparation for  rejoining the orchestra this Fall.

The walk was just one part of a  busy weekend for us: Meg's sister and her two daughters were visiting from California, and her brother (and his partner) came up to join us for the evening. We enjoyed assorted Seattle attractions in assorted groupings, and all managed to get access to our (only) bathroom more or less when we needed to! We've now recovered, spent the week at work, and Elspeth is now enjoying a visit from her girlfriend for the July 4th weekend. Seattle's summer seems set to arrive right on schedule (July 5th).
