Connie and Reed Figley drove to Pullman from the Tri Cities to be stuffed with food!
I met that in the Bookie parking lot and was expecting a nice, old Lincoln to pull up. Perhaps even a Subaru. Well, I was very excited to see a 1988 Lotus!
The staff had a great time playing around their car. I almost wonder if we should have bid on this event ourselves!
Robin Rilette above - looks great in a Lotus!

Lunch was full of great dishes - as always. Gillian baked delicious homemade pigs in a blanket. When she said the name in French it sounded even more fabulous! Robin Rilette made her devilish deviled eggs. Thom Kokenge whip us up some croquettes and I made stuffed peppers. Other highlight dishes: goat cheese spinach squares, amazing brownies, pineapple upside down cake, delicious salads, chicken, shrimp rice dish, etc. It was...FILLING!
We chatted with Connie and Reed about how they met (work), what they like about public radio (news, weekend shows, ALL OF IT!), how they got into Lotus and car collecting, and about their awesome dogs.
A fine afternoon with friends we have always talked to, but never met. That's radio.
Gillian Coldsnow (whom I lovingly call 'G') and myself...she calls me "Missy."
