Movember Moustache
To support his Wellness Committee at work, Don is participating in Movember. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Don started Nov. 1st. This photo was taken Nov. 20th. 10 more days to go. Unfortunately, there are more white hairs than dark ones.

Visitor
Well, after having an open doggie door for the past year or two, something besides the dogs finally decided to use it - one of the Stellar (Blue) Jays that live in our neighborhood. We found it hiding behind the curtains. It didn't seem hurt, but our 3 chihuahuas went bonkers chasing after it. Don finally shooed it to the bathroom where he closed the door, took the screen off the window and let it fly back home. Happy ending.

31st Wedding Anniversary Excursion
Don and Michelle were married November 21, 1980 but due to schedules celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary Friday Nov. 11th with a trip to Seattle. It was a blustery and rainy day, and Michelle's travel umbrella was blown to pieces. The celebration started off with a trip to the Seattle Art Museum, followed by lunch at the Metropolitan Grill, then on to the Fremont district for a tour and sampling at Theo's Chocolate Factory. They then stopped at Southcenter Mall before heading to the Showare Center for a Disney on Ice show (Toy Story 3). It was a fun day.

New Cars
Our Ford Exploder is no more. With a cracked engine head and broken timing chain it wasn't worth fixing. And the old Subaru's rear end was going out, so yesterday we bought two new Hondas, a CRV and an Accord. After a few years of no car payments, we now have two. Yikes! No more eating out.

Easter Bunny Shocker!!
Easter Bunny Shocker!!
I came home after work and noticed a little bunny lying on the lounge chair in our bedroom. I thought it was one of the chihuahua's play toys - they have a bunch. But when I took a closer look, it turned out to be a real bunny rabbit - a dead one. I guess Tinkerbell had found it in the yard and brought it into the house. Poor little cottontail. Michelle freaked out.

Mariners Opening Night
I attended the Seattle Mariners home opener against the Cleveland Indians. Great opening ceremonies but lousy game. Indians scored 10 in the 4th inning alone. It seems that most of the games I attend the team loses. But that's our Mariners. 
Don's New Office
Don moved into his new office at the new Bonney Lake Justice Center. Initially it is kind of cold and lonely as only 4 other people are on the same floor.

Brady's Visa Application
You wouldn't believe what was required for Brady to apply for a Visa to Brazil. About a dozen different documents, many in duplicate, and most had to be notarized. As usual, Michelle did most of the work. Anyway, we finally finished it and sent it certified mail to the church mission travel office. Hope we got it right, and they don't send it back with corrections needed.

Michelle's 53rd Birthday
Michelle doesn't mind telling her age, as she looks much younger. For her New Years birthday celebration, we went to the Seattle Center and watched Tron Legacy on Imax 3D, and then went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. After we returned home, Michelle opened her birthday presents, and then we played board games.
