Finally found some bubble tea.  A latte with bobas, even.  The Boba Fest in u-district was a bust, but this shop in Capital Hill was a great find.  Love lazy Saturdays.

The Irish bar across from the market always has entertaining signs, but this one really made me giggle.

I was enjoying the tulips on the way to work when I realized that if I got on the other side of the planters I would have a great shot.  Love how spring is the promise of better weather coming.

Return to office festivities continue.  As do six hours of meetings a day...

04-25-22

 Walk a different street, see different things.  Wool art in a window display.

Two trips to church today, and this statue in a gallery nearby caught my eye.

04-23-22

 

Architectural Tour of Denny Triangle today.  Architects, and us, Seattle enthusiasts.

Dinner and cocktails with Joan tonight, woot-woot!

04-21-22

 

Rain, sun, and rainbows.

As far as commutes go, mine is pretty good.

04-19-21

 

Return to office is official.  Getting plenty of gifts and treats, and smiles and hugs from co-workers.  And no meetings today, that might be the very best!!!

04-18-22

 

Wet shoes, wet socks, wet walk.  And really fat feet, LOL!

Extra long church time today for Easter.  Trying to talk to people I don't already know, made a few new connections.

Garage Sale on Balsam Avenue!  Day 3, story skies, light traffic, long day, but always fun to hang out with the stuff and people of yard sales.

Happy birthday Xander!  We enjoyed Plum Bistro and Hot Cakes and a lot of topics of conversation.

04-13-22

 

We changed internet providers today.

And our smart house is not a smart home any longer.  No timers, no lights to turn on, no shipping notifications.

Alexa?

My thank you gift for helping on the project last year to create a new REIT.

Back on my feet after a second Covid booster wrecked my weekend.

I like to say that we see donated Bombas on homeless people, but I guess Bruce is right that we mostly see donated Bombas dicarded by the homeless.

Super cold out, even witht he sunshine, but we took a daytime walk over to the Spheres to get a banana.  We were graced with some awesome chalk work on the stairwell.

04-06-22

 

Yep, back home.

In Philly there were not tents, strung out homeless, and the few we did see where very cordial.  Portland was nice too.

Is just Seattle this bad?!?

04-05-22

 

Home again, looking at the historic buildings on 3rd Avenue.  The line for Moore Theater wraps around the block, and mostly females.  So glad I had an extra day of PTO, was a bit aimless today.

Independence Hall, when Philadelphia was the capital.  A table for each of the 13 colonies, a sun chair for President Washington.

“I have often looked at that [chair] behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I… know that it is a rising…sun.” – Benjamin Franklin

Murals, museums, and tiny tiny alleys.  Love the brownstones, bring on the brick!

04-02-22

 

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has all of their most famous works in one circular room.  Several Van Gogh's.  A Monet.  And I totally remember studying this painting in Art History in high school.  It is Telouse-Lautrec, At the Moulin Rouge, late 1800's.

No fooling, I loved this library mural we found on our South Philly art walk.  Seems fitting, too, since we spent a lot of our down time reading.

It was fun seeing the liberty bell, riding the Hop On Hop Off bus and learning more about Isaiah Zagar.
