 Another protest.  This one was a little different though.  It was a #RedAlert event with theater workers.  All in black, quietly pushing their equipment.  First to be shut down, last to come back, feeling plenty of stress and hardship.

The Pike Place Market has reopened in a big way this weekend.  Street dining.  Long lines at favorite haunts.  Artists back.  And the patio is open, so we got to pose with (a crooked) Viktoria in the background.

I love this mural art we found in Pioneer Square.  Sloth is my theme for this year, and it feels oh so appropriate!

 Walk these Seattle streets almost every day, but this felt like a unique view.

Breaking bread with our core small group members as we say farewell to Megan & Mitchell.  Heading back to Texa, but hopefully back in the future!

Out of the open winows comes a glass bottle right as we were walking below.  Yep, downtown is fun these days...

Taking Mom out to lunch.

 Viktoria treated us to coffee this morning, yum!

 Dinner out with Joan.  Menus are gone, use our phone to find the curry and cocktails.

Too hot to walk with Mom last night, but tonight I found myself at our normal meeting spot.  What a lovely evening.

 Dinner on the roof.  I enjoyed the parmesan corn way more than the Serious Pie.

Today, many more miles.  We walked from Bothell to the UW Stadium Link station.  On an unusually warm day.  It was fun, looking forward to Spain.

We went on an impulsive adventure this weekend.  In the late afternoon we caught a bus to Lake City, got off at 145th and found the Burke-Gillman Trail and walked to the 5-ish miles to Bothell.  We made it to McMinnamins Anderson School for dinner, a drink, and an inviting bed.  More fun tomorrow!

Family Zoom night, every Thursday night at 6:30 for exactly 40 mintues.  We look like a serious group tonight.

It's been a cabbage kind of week.  Good thing I really like coleslaw!  Tacos that need a fork are my favorite!

Metro got some new Amazon swag!  Thanks A&J!

Look really close... see the white speck under the bridge?  It's a swan!  In the 90's we saw swans in Lake Washington a lot, was really fun to see one on Lake Union while walking with Mom.

 Moore isn't my favorite tasting coffee, but thrilled to see the critters back, and the location is certainly convenient.

Took a break from moving Anastasia and Jacob in to enjoy burgers around the fire pit in their new backyard.

Amazon got a huge new Seattle mural.

The sun is shining through the Great Wheel.  Waterfront walk.  It's even too hot down by the water.

I was trying with no luck to screen shot this infographic I found in some internal training materials.  Weyerhaeuser's Wood Product group takes logs, saws them into rough green lumber (nd gets chips as a byproduct), puts them in the kiln to make dry lumber, then finishes the boards into surfaced lumber.  Taking horizontal timber to vertical logs seems simpler.

Cherry season!  Love love love them!

New plastic mask.
