Email Quote of Note
A correspondent from the American midwest writes, "Last night I sliced open a dodgey
looking tomato from the garden to find it PERFECT on the inside." You can't tell a tomato
by its complexion.

Welcome!
Thanks for clicking on our page. Check it out. After you look at our latest news, send us email and tell us your news. As you probably know, our address is: snydder -- that's with two d's, one for Dan and one for Dave -- @earthlink.net. Of course, the stuff in italics isn't part of the email address, it's just in there to fool email address scavengers.
Summer has been very busy, but we squeezed in another trip to the midwest to see
Dave and Dan. We joined Dave after work on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. He's editing a book
to be published by the Fiber Arts department of The School at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Of course, white wine is appropriate when you're wearing a tie.
We all traveled to Iowa City to see Dan, who has spent the summer as a paleontology research assistant. He showed off some fossils he will write about in his dissertation, which to the untrained eye look like rocks with blemishes ... luckily his eyes are trained! We also met Dan's new girlfriend, the delightful Tomoko.
News and Notes
- July's "Peeking in Our Neighbor's Beds" Garden Tour attracted 110 guests to our
backyard.
Experts from the local nurseries led the gardeners on the tours, and we
learned new facts about our own plants!
Apparently, Seattle gardeners are mostly women and mostly blond.
- While we were in Chicago, we saw Brendan Healy's newest play, Relatively We. Brendan has been an honorary Snyder since he was 13, but we are not biased when we say, the play was terrific!
- We're planning a trip to Montana to see Jim and Julie Shadle. Our main responsibilities are to inspect Jim's vegetable garden and check on the fish populations.
- And our house is getting painted. We've picked gray-green, which should blend in nicely with Seattle's gray and green.
