Watching the moon cresend behind the Olympics was breathtaking this morning.
Friday’s Beautiful Sunset is Dedicated to my Dad
December 9, 2010 by 1 Comment
I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. My Dad passed away on Friday afternoon. My sisters and I were on our deck watching the sunset when a dozen red roses tied in a gold bow appeared.
The moment after the sun set, the phone rang and it was a nurse telling us that our Dad had peacefully passed away. Dad was 64 and had been battling various health issues including progressive lymphoma (skin cancer).
Rest in Peace, Dad.
I love this time of year and posting photos of homes that are decorated to celebrate the season, friends and family. Please email me photos of Beach Drive neighborhood homes decked out for the holidays and I will get them posted.

Last night’s sunset and the SUN…it’s going to be HOT!
August 15, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Last night's sunset was a treat that's beauty partly caused by a fire on the Olypmics. The cooler evenings are a welcome relief following our recent hot temps.
Speaking of HOT, the National Weather Service has issued a HEAT WARNING through 10:00 p.m. Monday evening. Note: early the NWS had issued a "heat advisory" which has been reduced to a "warning". Either way, with temps in the mid to upper 90's–it's hot for us sensitive Seattle-ites who are typically never seem completely happy with the weather ("it's too hot" or "it's too cold").
With ongoing temps in the 90s, it's a good idea to check on neigbhors and make sure you don't have any pets trapped in garages or storage sheds.
From the National Weather Service:
* IMPACTS: THE ELDERLY…CHILDREN…AND PEOPLE WHO WORK OUTSIDE
ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO THE EFFECTS OF HEAT. IF PROPER
PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN…HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE ARE
POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED
ROOM AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
* CHILDREN AND PETS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN VEHICLES
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES…ESPECIALLY DURING WARM OR HOT
WEATHER. CAR INTERIORS
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. THE HOT TEMPERATURES WILL
CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE LIKELY.
DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM…STAY
OUT OF THE SUN… AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
Keep cool and enjoy the weather!

I don't mind a blustery day when it's followed by a beautiful sunset, do you?
Seal in the Sunset

This fella was calmly floating around the Puget Sound last night. When we first spied him, he was floating on his side with a flipper straight up in the air…of course by the time we grabbed our camera, he stopped.
