Cath and Crumpets and Me

[susandennis]

This morning I took a Brit (albeit one who, except for the odd word here and there, sounds for all the world like she was born and raised in Iowa) to our crumpet shop where we actually saw them being made on the griddle and had ours with real fruit jam and tea (well, I had coffee).

cathboblet and I had a wonderful time wandering all over every where. It was fun to show her my little nooks and crannies of places. We went through the market and saw the fish throwing guys who weren't throwing yet, however. And wandered down to the water front and then back up through Belltown. We saw a line - queue, if you will, of people outside a yarn shop! (We had actually already heard about the yarn sale there while we were at the crumpet shop. Those of you who do not knit - and I suspect there may be one or two of you left - are really not in with the in crowd.) We saw snow, too! We each saw a couple of flakes. It was very exciting.

And cathboblet got a latte at THE original Starbucks. I have the proof. (It's a thumbnail - click to get more cathboblet.)

When I left her off at her hotel it started to rain so I did the smart thing and ducked into Bed, Bath and Beyond where I snagged a pair of bright lime green pillow cases, a new frying pan and a lava lamp night light. On the way to the bus stop, I went through Bon Macy and got some new socks and a pair of earrings and then I followed the football people all the way home.

What a great Saturday morning!

edit: why didn't you people tell me that the picture didn't upload??!!!! Geesh.
