I had a play-date with my niece, Hannah, yesterday and we had a gorgeous Seattle summer day for it. We picnicked in the park, kicked a ball around, played catch, watched the clouds drift by, went to the beach, played Beamo (big frisbee), and hung out at my house… Quite a full day!
This is “Raw Corn”, an accordion-guitar duo that was playing down at the Ballard Market today. They were really fun to listen to and I even bought one of their CDs… They sing everything from “Ring of Fire” to “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.
A.J. and I often head away from Seattle for weekend trips, and Portland, OR is one of our favorite destinations. We have nearly always run into some kind of festival or gathering while here (impromptu bike parades, a gathering of Santas, etc) and we weren’t let down this time. On Saturday evening as we walked back to our hotel, the police were shutting down roads for the “Dyke March” and then today we found ourselves immersed in the Portland Pride Festival. Needless to say, Rainbow Bear had a blast!
The house is now sheetrocked! A representative picture of the kitchen & dining area:
