Susan is busy this morning, so we're not doing much. We did brush Mr Rogers cat. There was a fair amount of fur deposited on the lanai but there is still some cat remaining.

In the early evening S&B came to the condo, having parked in the best parking space on the opposite side of the street. We chatted, then walked down to Anthony's Pier 66 for dinner.

Anthony's asked if we wished to sit outside. Since it was a beautiful evening we said yes. A small cruise ship named Sliver Muse was at the Bell Street Pier.

Just as we were having drinks Silver Muse pulled away and headed north. Coincidentally, O had just received a solicitation call from Silversea trying to sell us a cruise on their line.

We had great food and chatted on travel things done & hoped to do. We agreed on tomorrow's plan and walked toward the car along the waterfront.

As you see, the moon was looking down and the Wheel was taking the tourists for a spin.

They hopped into their electro-VW and we continued the short walk to the condo.

A good evening.

From 0430 to 0600 Mr Rogers cat wandered the house opening drawers and doors, hopping onto the bed to look us in the face, and making noises. Finally D fed them.

We had coffee but no food, then went to Susan's. She drove us to the Blue Star Cafe, a local breakfast-anytime place that also serves burgers, steaks, the whole range of foods. O had his eggs, sausage, potatoes, sourdough toast, bloody-mary brunch.

Then Susan gave us a longish electro-VW tour of Ballard and Fremont. Nice beaches, a few people out but it was chilly.

She let us go, so we went to Fred Meyers, a Kroger affiliate, for foods. We brought them home and put them away.

O grabbed the bears and walked a mile to UPS to ship them home. They should arrive on the 27th. Then he walked back (2.2 mi) stopping for a beer on the way home.

We did Happy Hour with the cats, after which O installed the new hose. O got a desire for a hot dog, so he walked to the stand near Pier 55 for one, then back, another mile, for just under 10,000 paces.

We did laundry, and started packing for the move to the guest suite tomorrow. O should be able to pick up F&D from Pier 91 about 0900.

O vacuumed and the cats scattered. They don't like vacuum cleaners.

Now we (all) take it easy.

Up early to get things done - laundry, vacuum, garbage, recycles, feed cats, change sheets on bed, put out other set of towels, probably some more buy can't think of it now.

At 0854 Fran called saying they were leaving the ship, so O headed for the garage and drove to Pier 91. The luggage and walker were loaded into the CRV, which then returned to the garage. F&D and their luggage to the condo. O to the office to get keys to guest suite. O&D moved to the guest suite at the north end of Waterfront Landings, right where the Lenora Street elevator sits (not running currently due to construction around its upper end).

We sat for a bit then walked down the waterfront to Alaska Bakery & Restaurant for a sandwich & coke. Good sandwiches, added chocolate chip cookie. Many people out and around, sidewalks crowded. We hiked back to just take it easy until something happens to cause us to move some more.

Susan picked us up at 1000 and took us places. Up around the east side of the north side to Bothell, and into Redmond.

We stopped at the Village Square Cafe for lunch and chat. Good food, very filling.

We wandered a little more in that area then Susan dropped us off at Lenora Street next to our guest suite.

Hugs, bye-byes, adieu, etc. Then she went off to do her chores.

We went in to start packing.
