At least it didn’t rain on our parade!

July 21, 2007 by Leave a Comment

This is pretty close to a perfect day for me…a "home town parade" with JP Patches and afterwards…we went to the Alki Hot Rod Show.    There were a few times we thought the rain would sneak in but it held back until the show was finished (or did the show finish because of a few sprinkles?)…regardless, this is my definition of a very fun Saturday.Img_5315

With West Seattle’s Farmers Market and Seattle Fish Company…who needs Pike Place Market?

July 5, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Okay, we still need and love Pike Place Market.   Last Sunday, we thought we would have time to venture out of West Seattle to Pike Place to pick up some fresh oysters and other goodies for dinner.   We ran out of day!   And after checking out the goods at the Farmers Market and Seattle Fish Company…we decided to stay in the ‘hood!  Img_5274 Img_5275

The Seattle Fish Company not only has a huge selection of fresh seafood, they also have wines with pairing suggestions (very handy) and some groceries as well.   Our oysters, which were fabulous on the grill, came with a free lemon!

Team Up with Tully’s for JP and Children’s Hospital

June 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Img_4808 On Tuesday, June 19, 2007…all day long…Tully’s will donate 20% of all store revenue to support the JP Patches statue fund and Children’s Hospital.   

Please support your local clown and Puget Sound treasure.    We have Tully’s conveniently on Alki and Fauntleroy in West Seattle.

Or…you can purchase a Patches Pal Paver and have your name along side Img_4819_2 this beautiful statue to be located in Fremont.    The statue will have JP and long time friend, Gertrude standing next to ICU2 TV.   The TV will have a slot to accept donations for Children’s Hospital and any surplus funds raised to build the statue will also benefit Children’s.

These photos are from the unveiling of the future statue that took place earlier this year during February in Fremont.

My husband surprised me the following  month when JP Patches appeared at my Img_4825 birthday party!  Yes…obviously, I’m a Patches Pal.    And I (along with many) adore JP.    I remember watching him on KIRO in the wee hours of the morning before school and getting to watch him again after school.    I always looked forward to seeing him.     JP Patches show aired from 1958 to 1981 entertaining and teaching many of us Puget Sound Natives in our younger days. 

Don’t be a Gorrrssssst…support JP!  Besides…your donations are tax deductible.
