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.

It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
