8:36pm Post Vanishing of the Bees drink at Poquitos with Aimee, raising morale. , a photo by The_April on Flickr. I was craving the guacamole at the local restaurant Poquitos. This was April's 8:30. Prior, we went and saw a documentary called Vanishing Bees. A local food organization sponsored it. I grew up scared of bees. I didn't like them. They buzz around, get in my way and sting! EVIL!!!! No, not evil. Thanks to bees, we have the yummy fruits and veggies available. If bees disappear, we may have to rely on other countries for our produce. Thats sad & ridiculous! We need to step up! This documentary gave me a whole new found love for bees and making me be more strict on where I get the items I eat. The grocery store will always be the cheapest and most convenient but I don't know what is or isn't sprayed with pesticides. Whats REALLY sad and not mentioned in the documentary but you have all these big corporate farms (who wouldn't waste their time at local...
My friends can be silly
P1030398 a video by The_April on Flickr. April, Asa, Carinna, Megan, Jim and two of their friends went camping the weekend I was doing Scooter Insanity. While camping at a state park, the saw flyers about a Park concert. They decided to make posters and act like groupies. Not only did they have a blast, the SENIOR BRASS band loved their groupies. The gals with two bands members Signs said: Bass kicks ass Drums - I'd hit that Woodwinds! Blow that wood. So goofy. Something the Galoopers might had thought of.
Bastille Day fete was a blast!

Its not just Bastille Day
On July 3rd, we had my grandma's funeral service in PA. Soon after, I came back to an apartment that I needed to start packing because I was in the process of moving all while knowing my grandpop would soon be passing and I would be traveling back to PA for his funeral. It was an extremely rough time for me. A year ago today, friends reminded me that a Bastille Day celebration was taking place at the Corson Building in Georgetown and that even if I wasn't in the spirit, I should go because its going to be a great time. The event was just what this stressed out, broken heart needed. That garden will forever be a special place to me for I spent a lot of time that evening not only enjoying friendship and the event, but also appreciating how lucky I was to have such amazing friends and family with great grandparents. My grandparents were fun people who loved music and social gatherings. So today I celebrate their lives in that magical garden. If you ever happen to go to the build...
It's the eve Bastille Day
2010.07.15 Bastille Day , a set on Flickr. Its the eve of one of my favorite days. Not because its Bastille Day, the independence of France, BUT because I get to spend tomorrow afternoon and night inside my favorite garden in Seattle. I absolutely love the smells and ambiance of this magical spot where is one of the locations Bastille Day is celebrated in Seattle. I'm very excited. A car or two of me and friends are leaving work early to carpool down to the event. Last year I got there after work and missed the chicken races that local chef Matt Dillon held. I am not missing anything this year. Excited!!!! If I recall from our Gerritty-May family reunion 10 years ago or so, someone married a French woman AFTER they had a child outside of wedlock. I asked if this made us part French but my grandmom's feisty sisters said that it was nonsense and untrue THOUGH its in our genealogy. So tomorrow I celebrate the French mystery mistress who is hidden in our family roots.
