Seasonally Speaking of Sablewood Look familiar?  If you live here, it should!  Last Saturday it looked this way before the wind and rain denuded it. Autumn in Sablewood (aka Bridle Trails aka Kirkland aka “lil piece of Heaven on Earth”) is more distinctive than in many neighborhoods simply because we believe and act on our responsibility to the environment.  And it shows.  Stewardship is a tremendous responsibility.  What we do today our great-grandchildren will be living in and talking about whether we’re here or not.  So we strive to leave a legacy of love and support, for them and for our neighborhood.

38 year Anniversary Patti and I celebrated 38 years of marriage yesterday. Our older daughter gave us a gift certificate to the Mongolian Grill in Kirkland, so that is where we went.
