When we moved to Seattle back in the day, I was newly pregnant with Lucie. Bucky and I were fortunate to have some long-time friends living there who were also becoming new parents. One of those friends was Linda who is the oldest daughter of some of my parents' oldest friends. Linda and her husband, John, were in Seattle for his job and I was excited to have the connection. I was even more excited to be able to share our pregnancies together. We were just a few months apart so we shared lots!
Linda's firstborn was Lauren, born in a hospital in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in May 1997. Just like Lucie, Lauren is now all grown up and just graduated from college. Post graduation, she did what many new graduates do, and headed to Europe! Lucky for us, she was able to spend a couple of days in Barcelona.
It was fun to get to know her as an adult and reminisce about the old days too. Spending time with her made Bucky and me think a lot about her parents and the time we spent as young families in the Pacific Northwest. Nice memories and lovely people.
