Amazing flowers from the Proctor street market...
.... from a few weeks ago. A delightful way to spend a leisurely Saturday morning.How crazy are these flowers? Sproncy, sprightly little things with purple pinstripes. Sitting on my bedside table.Lovely.

Cushman substation (did Fritz Lang visit Tacoma?)
In 1925, a reporter for the Tacoma Sunday Ledger called it "a model of modern electrical engineering..."Yep. Freaky deaky.

Stoke of the Day!
Ali hits the big time of skater photograpy - Thrasher Mag's "Stoke of the Day" - I'm so proud of him!Ali's Photo is Featured as Photo of the Day on Thrasher! Next time, I hope they spell his damn name correctly... YaquBian. It's tough to build a rep when they don't spell your name correctly.

Oh, and here's what I've done in the last 8 days...
....unpacked my last PODs into my storage unit, got Washington driver's licenses for all 3 of us and an international one for Lina, drove my son and all his crap up to Vancouver BC and moved him into his apartment, drove back to Tacoma with my daughter after a couple of days, dropped her at Seattle airport so she could go down to San Francisco for 5 days to see friends and get her visa for next year for working in France, worked 10 hour days, closed on my house in Kansas, drove up to Seattle to fetch my daughter again today and whew!But I seem to still have energy left to eat some mind bendingly sweet dark red cherries.
Ali's new place...
New friends - Dylan the roommate in a hoodie and Nick (upstairs neighbor and chef) wheeling up a new board to go skating with Ali. Both very cool people. And it warms the cockles of a mother's heart to see a broom leaning up outside the door and not one, but TWO, count them, TWO vacuums in the apartment for some reason. The apartment is cosy and neat as a pin and looks like it will be a great place for Ali to live. Ali's got MAD hair in these photos, non? I love the purple house with the sunflowers next door. And then hugs and tears outside, saying goodbye. It was hard for Lina because she won't see him now for probably a year or so and they are great friends as well as being siblings. It really makes me happy to see how much they care for each other and how good they are at expressing it to each other. We close out the sequence with a little Lina Chicken Dance with Ali.
Lunch? Dinner? Linner?
Anyway, the "last meal" with Ali in Vancouver. At an Italian joint. AWESOME. The best lasagne I've had in probably 30 years - since I lived in London, I think. Paper thin spinach noodles, spectacular bolognese sauce, and bechamel. Lina and Ali were equally delighted with their meal and each other, as you can see by the photos.
A banana has been sighted on the streets of Vancouver
A very large banana on a walkabout. I don't know why.
