Last few days at home and now… Boston!

by Emily in

July in Seattle flew by with celebration after celebration. We celebrated two weddings, some birthdays, a newborn baby and positive news on Max’s aunt who’s battling cancer. It was a joyful visit packed with love.

This last Thursday Max and I stopped by the local Alzheimer’s Association office to visit the brilliant and compassionate faces who have offered so much support for Spoke Your Mind. Here’s a pic below:

We had all day Friday to pack our stuff to get ready for our flight the next morning. Max boxed the bikes and bob trailers while I uploaded footage and backed it up on the hard drive. It takes real time to upload, and we needed to free up space on the computer for this leg. That’s all boring stuff- but what’s exciting is how Max managed to carry all our stuff to the van cab in Boston. What a man!!

Now we’re getting ready to interview Dr. Graboys on Wednesday and speak at an event held by the MA/NH Alzheimer’s Association chapter on Thursday. Although we had anxiety before leaving this time considering our lack of funds for leg 2, it feels good to be in Boston and we’ve already met some wonderful people. Keep the good vibes coming…
