I promise to finish posting the pics from our trip soon. In the meantime, please pray for a former co-worker and good friend of mine. She has been a huge part of the little Cramer prayer team and I'm honored to be able to return the favor. I just wish it was under better circumstances.
I learned today that she is going in for surgery tomorrow to remove a lymph node from her neck. A PET scan indicated there were 3 areas of concern and the doctors are trying to rule out lymphoma. Her surgery is scheduled for 1:00 tomorrow. Please pray for her, her family and her medical staff. Please pray that it is not serious and that the doctors will get the information they need from the surgery.
Thank you in advance. God does listen.
Update
They found no signs of lymphoma! Praise God. They are still waiting on some biopsy results and she will require some further surgery but for now things are looking good. Our God is an awesome God!

Seattle
We arrived in Seattle on Wednesday and stayed until Friday morning. We had a great time and enjoyed the cool weather. We had perfect weather each day we were there. We also had a lot of fun taking in the sights Seattle has to offer.
We stayed downtown at a great hotel that was central to everything. I loved that we could walk anywhere we wanted! The hotel was a Double Tree but is housed in an old building that used to be a men's club. It is still called the Arctic Club and is absolutely beautiful. Rumor has it there are ghosts but we didn't see any. :( All in all our stay was great!
I loved the doors in the hotel. The ones from the hallways to the rooms were bright blue. I didn't get a picture of those but I did get the one to our bathroom inside our room.
And of course no trip is complete unless Brutus tags along. He he is contemplating the price of the snacks in our room.
Of course we had to do all the tourist stuff like go up in the Space Needle.
And take pictures of the skyline from the top of it.
We also did a tour of Underground Seattle. The place that does tours is in the old part of Seattle called Pioneer Square. This is the original part of Seattle that had to be rebuilt after a great fire. It has underground sections because they raised the city due to flooding problems. It was a fun and educational thing to do.
This is the front of the tour building in Pioneer Square.
These are skylights in Underground Seattle. You walk over them on the existing sidewalks never knowing what is underneath!
And of course we had to see them throw fish at the Pike Place Market.
After all these adventures, we headed east to Spokane to see the Gordon family. But more about that later. :)

Vacation 2009
What a great vacation we had. We started in Seattle for 2 days, drove to Spokane for the weekend, reconnected with old friends, drove a scenic route back to Seattle, stayed another day, took the Amtrak to Vancouver, went to Victoria, back to Vancouver and home to Dallas. Of course that is the condensed version. :)
What? You want details and pictures. Well, stay tuned....
