Finally, I blog about the real reason I went to Seattle, to meet the Covey side of Betsy's family. First full day in Seattle I was a touch bombarded, meeting about 20 people but I wouldn't have it any other way. G-Betty, the matriarch of the family, is awesome and hilarious. She passes the time knitting, creating eye-glass buttons (don't ask), rock-butterflies (just what they sound like), reading about going to Mars and complaining about all the new people moving to Seattle. All of the others I met were awesome as well, must come from the great area in the Northwest, gives everyone a good attitude. Peter and Sue Covey let us stay at their house as we explored Seattle. Sue is the master of hiking preparedness, she always packed lunch for us which saved us from exhaustion. Her daughter, Kristen, could very well be the best coffee maker in the world. Ann and Tom, who live in my dream location on Whidbey Island and also run a crabbing sweat-shop on their back porch, employing, strangely enough, only Iowans. So, all in all, the family is great and would love to move out there and be close to them, unfortunately, the Coveys won't allow any more people in Seattle.
