It's official.  Leigh came to work in the same tie he wore to work when he started at Weyerhaeuser.

08-30-22

 

Morning came fast today.  But boy was the sky pretty, like a pastel baby blanket.

08-29-22

 

Drove to heck and gone to wish Leigh a happy retirement after almost 35 years at Weyerhaeuser.  I've only known him well for the last four, but its been a wild ride.

Summertime bliss.  I love the food, drinks, and ambiance at Agua Verde cantina.  It may be too warm this summer, but I'll miss it regardless when the weather turns.

08-27-22

 

We spent the day in Federal Way, Fife, Ruston, and Tacoma.  The main event was touring the Statdium High School with Pretty Gritty Tours.

I've been reading, reading, reading, reading a lot this summer.

Last summer I read 13 books that counted toward the bingo card.

This year time is running out and I only have 10 so far.  How can that be?!?

Our new pig salt and pepper shakers that Max & Vanessa got us at the market.  Cute!

 Hi, Jellybean.  A different view tonight was we visit one of Bruce's buildings in central district.

Margaritas and magic at work this afternoon.  I was sad that I medded up my pinata cookie when I tried to use the tongs to get it on my plate, but the themed cookies were really cute.

Stumbled across some additional AUGMENT inflatable art while walking with Mom.

08-21-22

 
A newer mural that we have not yet seen.  Walked to the Seattle Center for lunch after church.

Blackberry picking in the morning, dinner with Diana and Nathaniel in the evening.  Summer fun!

Our table at the Sunset Supper fundraiser event, thanks to Joan for taking it.  What a fun group of people to hang out, what a lovely weather evening, and what a lot of wonderful food to sample!  Here's to another year of the Pike Place Market offering so much more than a tourist destination.

Back in shoes today, some walking back in the routing, and new shoes too!

08-17-22

 

No shoes today, only slippers and yoga pants, did't leave the building thanks to a really sore knee.  Movement is a special privilege that we often take for granted and boy am I missing it!

08-16-22

 

We see this Henry decorated car across the street a LOT, so good chance to get it photographed.

08-15-22

 

Feels weird to be walking around Amazon on Monday evening but not with Mom.  Starting the week without restuarant food was a win though.

08-14-22

 

Daytrip to Everett!  A Christmas gift finally cashed in.  It wasn't the right season to look at birds, so we did Funko HQ, a walk along the marina, lunch, and a few more park stops.  Great day!

08-13-21

 

Today was a peninsula adventure with Kimberly and Adam.  We explored Manchester, Port Orchard, and Pouslbo.  Great weather, lovely ferry rides, and lots of laughter with friends.  Blessed!

08-12-22

 

Vacation day today, so I am off my normal routine.  Walking Lenora instead of my normal Virginia, Stewart, Olive, and 2nd streets.  We watched this mural being spray painted, now it is complete.

08-11-22

 

The building that my dentist is in got some new artwork that looks pretty mid century modern, I'm digging it!  My design game on my phone is doing 1950's theme right now, too, so having fun virtually designing with this kind of artwork.

08-09-22

Spent the evening on Capital Hill.  Forgot to take photos at the event at the Garage, but there is plenty of weird to capture on Capital Hill.

08-07-22

 

Got my new lightweight selfie stick and tripod (for Africa) working.  Since my arms are so short my selfies are pretty limitted.  This will help if I can deal with the new thinner phone case.

More Seafair Blue Angels fun today.

08-06-22

 

We enjoyed a day of Seafair festivities today.  Hydroplane races, air show, Blue Angels, extreme heat, steep clopes, and $16 bubble tea.

08-05-22

 

TGIF!  Enjoying the far reaches of SLU tonight.  One of Bruce's new buildings has a New Orleans vibe.

08-04-22

 

Photo scavenger hunt with MOHAI museum tonight.  Enjoying our city in this goregeous weather.

08-03-22

 

KUOW hosted a panel discussion on Fentanyl at the central library.

Some of the content:

Preventing death and promoting life for a stronger community.

Isolation is bad.

People need access to dignity, health care, and housing.

Lovely evening with Xander on the roof tonight.  Everything a lazy summer evening should be.
