The Washington Waits Clan in Seattle

Sheila & Fred (my cousin) in the backyard of Fred & Ann's home in Edmonds
Aunt Mitzi, DW, and Fred

DW sitting in Fred's pristine Corvette, which by the way was custom ordered and assembled at the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, KY near our home in Lexington. This thing is loaded with stuff even most Corvette owners haven't even heard of or can only imagine.

My daughter Kristin (middle) from Lubbock (TX) & one of her friends who just happened to be in Seattle celebrating Kris' 40th birthday the same weekend we were there - - totally unplanned. How great was that!

This pic was taken at the Market Place in downtown Seattle after Sunday morning services. Sheila & I totally enjoyed our visit with the Waits family. We also visited with my cousin, Wayne Flood and his mom, Marie (one of dad's sisters). While in Seattle we stayed with Ann and Fred at their beautiful home in the charmingly quaint little town of Edmonds, which is bounded on the west by Puget Sound; spectacular views from many angles inside their home! Can't say enough about how Ann & Fred were such splendid hosts. Took us everywhere, including the Trojans-Huskies football game (I'm a big USC fan from my years in Los Angeles and close ties my company had with the university), and to dinner at the downtown Seattle Metropolitan Grill - what a feast that was! We appreciate and are so grateful for their generous hospitality. It could not have been better... well except maybe for the fact it rained virtually every day we were there except one.

Until next time, stay hooked up to the Power Source.
