A celebration of life, an event of death.

April 8th was Elizabeth's 17th birthday! She was at Job Corps in White swan, still, so John and I picked up her bff Monica and headed over the mountains for the weekend. We picked her up friday afternoon and back tracked into Toppenish in search of a sushi feast (Not easy to find 200 miles inland) Everybody had their fill and we drove back to settle in at the super 8. Next day we girls hit the Yakima valley mall. Some shopping, some snaps, lunch at applebee's with Daniel "a prospective squeeze", and we took in a movie, some girl /power film noir waste of time. The girls hadn't had enough but I went back to the hotel and waited for my friend Carrie and her husband and their 2 girls. They live in Richland, so Toppenish is not too far to drive for a pizza and a nice long visit. Everybody went home early; we new we had a long hall in front of us back to Whiteswan, then Seattle. All in all it was a fabulous weekend!
