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 building for an event or one of Matt Dillon's dinners, spend some time in the garden, smelling the lavender. It's a good place for the heart.

Cheers!

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.
