What weather

Yesterday, we decided to get the rest of the moving out of the way. First, we picked up the truck and got our new couch and dropped it off at home. We succeeded in moving the sofa bed from the living room to the back room with only slight damage to the house (broken glass in the China cabinet, a few new scratches on the floor, and a couple of spots of chipped paint). When we were done, we went to move all of B.'s remaining furniture from his apartment.

I don’t think he’s ever believed me when I’ve spoken about snow in Seattle. Needless to say, in the middle of moving, it started snowing so hard it was almost like hail. We got some hot chocolate from a little mini mart across the street and were off—with two thirds of the work done. When we got home, we took a short break and then unloaded all of the heavy stuff while it was still snowing outside. In the end, I hurt my back a little, but it felt so good to have it done.

Later, after dropping off the truck and picking up my car, we went to Lottie’s Lounge (our favorite bar in Columbia City) to celebrate. They had live old-time music that sounded like it was from the Appalachian Mountains. The duet that performed, Squirell Butter, did a lot of music from the 1920s. The woman, Charmaine "Lady Li-Lei" Slaven, made it even more enjoyable with some great tap dancing.

I was happy to have my favorite drink, listen to the music, watch the snow falling outside, and relax for a while. (You can see a little of the snow if you look closely). It's magical when it snows in Seattle.
