Choo Choo


This weekend I ventured down to the land of Port, otherwise known as Portland, to meet up with my parents and sister at the antiques and collectible show. I know, I know, what an exciting life I do lead. It was a good time had by all. We walked around and checked out all sorts of pretties and all sorts of overpriced crap. I didn't really buy much but I was close. The above image is what I almost bought but I didn't like the framing. It was an etching signed by the artist from the late 1920s early 1930s who seemed to have a fascination with dogs urinating. I thought it would be good bathroom humor. If you want to look him up on the web his name is Boris O'Klein. Apparently, he was a Russian who went to Paris to earn his artist chops and that is where he developed his risque fascination. After the show we went out to dinner and then back to my parent's trailer for the night and I taught them how to play Mexican train. A good time was had by all and especially by my mom as she was the victorious one. Below is my artsy fartsy picture of the game. It really does have a horrible name, though. It sounds like something that should happen in an East LA prison. What a good game! I took second.

Traversing the High Seas



Today C & I had a big adventure....we went kayaking around the arboretum. We started on the outskirts of Lake Union and had to go threw the Montlake Cut, that was interesting. There were a few boats definitely going over the speed limit and we were tossed about. We were rewarded when we reached the arboretum, nice calm waters, lots of ducks, and a heron. The biggest reward of all was C saw an old naked man swinging his weiner in his friends face. I guess the freaks come out with the heat. Needless to say, we made it back in one piece and I am no longer a kayak virgin.

Eastern Bound

I have been spending my evening planning our trip to OKC in the fall. We are driving and along the way we are stopping at Yellowstone, the Tetons, and in Jackson Hole. I am getting excited for our adventure and thought you might want a few snapshots for our last trip eastern bound. If you don't like the pictures, too bad.

Happy 4th of July



























I just thought I would say a Happy 4th to the like 3 people who actually read my blog. I decided what would be more American than you getting some pictures from the road trip Jason and I took cross country? Here are some Patriotic scenes.
See if you can guess where all 5 pictures are (it should be pretty easy) and if I know you (those are the contest rules) I will take you to lunch.
