Challah and blue skies

I am once again in Seattle, the sky is unbelievably blue, the house smells like the challah bread Alex and I just finished baking.  I have a fresh cup of a tea and need to head out to catch the bus in 20 minutes.  Alex is taking a nap on the couch, and there are plans to take a walk outside somewhere, after my 3:30pm appointment.  Life is really good right now.
