rebeccmeisterOn my way to the airport, I couldn't help taking just a couple more photos of some details from the beloved Montlake Bridge, in the dim morning light, with crows flying past overhead.
I love Seattle's Gothic architecture.
It has taken me a while to get sufficiently oriented to Capital District landmarks as viewed from the air, so I was pleased to recognize my home stretch of the Hudson River, just barely visible between the airplane wing and the low-hanging clouds, as we came in for a landing.
Not that I expect you to make heads or tails from this photo.
George appreciated the presents I brought back from the Cat Cafe in Kauai, although I'm not sure he understands the proper use for party hats? On the other hand, that is a sparkle ball affixed to the top, so the hat is sending some mixed messages.
Upon returning home, I finally got to open holiday cards, including one sent bythreemeninaboat and carried by sled dogs!
For the record, she sends the best cards. This one was hilarious as usual.

I can't remember if I ever talked with you about the Awkward Box concept. The term comes from a friend in TX who was exchanging Awkward Boxes with another friend of his for a good long while. The name just comes from the element that there isn't any sort of regularity or expectation to what goes into sending Awkward Boxes. But I do have it in my mind to continue sending you Awkward Boxes...just not with any kind of consistency. :^)
