RIE
AND MERCEDES ATTEND THE NUTCRACKER
Rie
Munoz and her granddaughter, Mercedes, attended the ballet, The Nutcracker
Suite performed by the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, December
12. They were joined by friends from Juneau, Judy Crondahl and her
granddaughter, Katherine, and another granny/granddaughter set from
Kansas. Together they stayed at the Hostel International, Seattle,
in a room with three double beds. All the girls slept in the top bunks
and the grandmas slept in the bottom bunks. Other activities included
a ride on the monorail, a visit to SAM and of course FAO Schwartz.
The play was magnificent and the group was treated to backstage passes.
CHRISTMAS
IN TENAKEE
Rie
Munoz spent Christmas and the following week in Tenakee Springs enjoying
her cabin recently renovated. She was accompanied by family members,
Cathy, Mercedes, and Juan who have a cabin a short walk away. Rie
sketched, painted and enjoyed Tenakee.
Rie�s granddaughter, Mercedes, age 8,
wrote Santa a heartfelt letter asking for only one thing, a small
hamster to replace one that died last year. She knew I didn�t like
the rodents but she believed that if there was a Santa, he would come
through for her. We all left on the ferry at 2:00 am Christmas morning.
The ferry arrived in Tenakee at 10:00am. Well, miracle upon miracles
there was a small hamster waiting for her under the tree. Mercedes
was thrilled with �Hammy� and we brought him home to Juneau. The next
night however he escaped by climbing up the water bottle holder and
slipped into a wall vent in our kitchen. We have food and water waiting
where he slipped in, but as of this printing, �Hammy� is still at
large, scratching his way around the bowels of our home. We hope �he�
is not pregnant...
