As we finished our snowshoeing we ran into a gal with a couple of dogs and we learned she was Aaron Mercer’s great, great grand daughter. And brother to Asa and Thomas Mercer. The Mercer brothers were part of the founding group of the University of Washington, the infamous ‘Mercer Girls’ and my hometown, Mercer Island, was named after them.
Jodi and I discussed a way to commemorate mom’s ‘backup dents’. In recent months there have been a rash of small accidents with her new Subaru. All of them happening in reverse and all of them at very low speeds. We think we have a solution….
After coming home we switched gears and headed over to the Sun Valley Inn and Lodge. Mom and Dad spent quite a bit of time over there and while it was beautiful, it sparked conversation of the future of elegance past. The grounds are lit and it was fun walking around.
Then it was off the restaurant for an excellent meal. Duck and Trout highlighted the meal.
