Last softball game of the year, and we won! Champions! Woo-hoo!

July 28


NEMO is in the shop today to fix his bumper. Got a Ford Focus as my rental. The dash kind of looks like a little face.

July 22


Playoff softball tonight.. took random pictures of things in the dugout

July 27


Just loved the tire marks in the grass! (Ok, so little things make me smile)

July 26


Garage sale with Helen in her development... the show stopper was clearly Lucy in her feline funhouse.

July 25


Went dancing tonight with my friend Alicia. Drink of choice? Water!!!

July 24


Had a playoff softball game tonight (We won!) The sun was bright for the hitters, but lit up the sky and the clouds pretty nicely!

July 23


Just a random shot of one of my favorite drinks. Creme Soda. YUM!

July 21


A duck family in Martha Lake. Today I tried open water swimming with no snorkel. I'm trying to see if I can actually do a triathlon without drowning in the swimming section. So far, so good. We'll see.

July 20



Went to Northwest Trek today with my friends Helen and Margaret! We saw a ton of animals and learned the difference between the cow family and the deer family.

July 19


The bite of Seattle is a great place to try new foods you've never had before! What do I always get? Corn on the cob! Who can resist really? And the line is super long all the time! Ha.

July 18


Took a run today down to the waterfront and back... and was amazed at the amount of bikes on this bike rack!

July 17


Ahhhh... my new mattress got delivered today! Comfy!!!

July 16


I know its not the best picture.. but it tells a story. See, I bought grapes at Costco and were enjoying them. Then I went to open the plastic container they come in and there's a SPIDER in there! Not any old spider. This is a black widow. So I got him/her out of the grapes and put them in a container (still alive... not sure what I'll do with it) but now I'm weary of eating my spider ridden grapes.

July 15


Second day of Jury Duty and I got dismissed again (they made a deal before it went to trial) This horse is one of the art pieces around the courthouse.

July 14


I had to erase everything off of my hard drive and re-install my operating system for my mac. Took up entirely way too much time... but at least I'm hoping it'll work right now!

July 13



Two pictures today!
Had lunch with Ted and Skye today.. was very nice to see them!
The other is from canoeing and the sun shining on the undergrowth from the lake.

July 12


I was on my way to run the "Run of the Mill" this morning when I was rear-ended. The woman was acting a bit weird, so the Sheriff talked to her a bit and then started doing a field sobriety test (of which she failed). She got cuffed and charged with DUI at 8 in the morning. Just wrong!

July 11


Went for a bike ride today... thought it was funny to see a fall looking leaf on the ground when summer has just finally started.

July 10


Just a random shadow shot of me on the wall from the direct sunlight from my dining room window.

July 9


Beautiful sunset! Loved all the colors the sun made the clouds.

July 8


Ripped off the tape in the bedroom from painting it brown. Of course I had to make a tape ball!

July 7


Just a random shot of cheese... but this was my first time making myzithra pasta at home. It was a cooking adventure that turned out great!

July 6


The long drive back home on I-5, lots of shiny truck wheels to get great reflections in!

July 5


Ken and I finally made it to the Oregon National Cave Monument. The tour through the caves was amazing! Highly recommended!

July 4


Happy fourth of July! This picture is from Gold Beach Oregon (Vacation mecca apparently of Oregon), where I set up to watch the city's fireworks. Loved the sunken boat in the water! If you look closely, you can see flashing lights over the last left part of the bridge. That would be a firetruck. :o)

July 3



This was a toss up between two photos. The first is from Cannon beach, the second is from the Tillamook Air Museum.

July 2


This truck is parked about 3 houses down from mine and I love the rusted out 'Ford' imprint on the tailgate!

Ah, the start


So this is the start of my picture taking for a year... I hope to actually keep up on it. I might not post everyday, but I'll definitely be taking a picture everyday. This picture comes from the softball field at Interbay. The other team didn't even show for the game so we decided to take batting practice.
