Daisies!

Daisies are my favorite flower. When I was a kid they used to grow in my backyard (and front yard) almost as weeds. I loved cutting them and I'd even bring them to my teacher.

This pic is from the Belltown P-Patch, a community garden here in the neighborhood.

Tacos del Dia!

My phone died today, and I forgot to throw my charger in my bag before heading out. I met my friend Valentina (by the way, if you ever need to hire a photographer, she is amazing!) for happy hour at Little Water Cantina and ordered the Tacos of the day! Delicious!

I went to lunch with my friend Chris, who also happens to be my neighbor. We hung out at his place after lunch for a minute and sat on the balcony. Between messing with crackheads, we noticed how cool the clouds looked over the sound today.

2nd Ave Mural

The McGuire Building is a hot mess, we already know that. Now some community members are coming together to build a mural on what would otherwise be an empty wall.

Best Gift Ever

My mom was visiting (as you may remember from previous posts) and she wanted to send me a thank you note for my hospitality, which was so not necessary but very much appreciated.

A keg of Bell's Brewery Oberon, my favorite beer ever. You might think, why is this important? Well, you can't get it here, or even close to here. It makes this Detroit girl very, very happy.

Oregon Coast

Today was a random day. April and I hopped in one of my client's cars and took a very random road trip to the Oregon Coast. It is about a four hour drive, each way. Random, I know. It was so fun though.

Summer is, well, late to the game this year. It was a bit chilly on the beach at Cannon Beach, so here we are, in our North Face and Mountain Hardware, like true Pacific Northwest Transplants.

I should say, I did make it into the water though, waste deep!

Naked Bike Riders!

Today was the World Naked Bike Ride 2011, and here are some naked bike riders from the back. Seattle is awesome.

Bonus:

Social Media Monthly Magazine?

Bob Fine, the creator of Social Media Monthly Magazine, stopped by the Belltown Pub to meet some Seattle folks and give away free copies of the mag.

Yes, a printed version of a social media magazine.

Richie Aldente

April and I ventured up to Fremont to see Richie Aldente play at the Nectar. It was such a good show, if you have a chance to see this band - do it!

Bonus: Video!



Also, this happened yesterday...

Black Eye

Well, this is the only pic I took that day, but that is Zak and his black eye (which was a trampoline accident, not a fight.)

Mount Rainier

April and I walked to the new Molly Moon store downtown and walked around the market, where we ran into Mr. F!

Fireworks & Friends

To avoid the babies, families, traffic jams and crowds on Lake Union, we decided to stay home, BBQ on the roof with friends and enjoy the Fireworks from Belltown!

Happy 4th of July!

HardRock!

The view from the rooftop deck at Hardrock Cafe Seattle.

BTW - Check into Foursquare there, the deal is worth it.

And here is the RetroCam version of the pic:

My Old Life

Whenever I walk by, I cannot help but look up and smile and silently be grateful for encouraging me to be the person I am today.

Also, this was the only picture I took today, go figure.

Lola!

Mr. F took me to breakfast today. He chose one of my favorites, Lola, one of the many Tom Douglas restaurants here in Belltown. Delicious way to start the day.
