weekword: fantabulous

last saturday night, rain city had her dancin' shoes on. does it get more fantabulous than that?

follow the links to this week's other posts of "fantabulous" over at asphalt and air.

july in seattle (part 2)

just a few more random portraits from my trip. in addition to the show, i dropped by the housewarming party of a dear friend from high school, said happy bday to jen j, and breakfasted with julie for the last time on this continent for a while (she's moving to new zealand this week).

july in seattle with start/play... i mean... play/start!

i drove half the band to seattle and went to their awesome show at the wild rose on saturday, where they were unknowingly incognito.

washougal river and the three pupskateers

i spent the hot afternoon with some friends by the washougal river in washington. we are dogsitting julio and rusty this weekend, but they didn't get to go because it's like herding cats to get these three to do ANYTHING other than facilitate chaos! they look so innocent and sweet in this photo, though, don't they?

field day!

candise organized an awesome field day at kenton park on a perfect portland summer day. it was so much fun, and the injuries sustained were minimal (pretty good, considering none of us had done these things since elementary school). later in the evening, we went to the play/start show at the e-room, which, as usual, rocked!

4th of july

we started independence day off right with my current favorite sandwich - the VLT (vegan BLT) from the little red bike café. after a day of much-needed house- and yardwork, we then headed over to sherri and christie's house for a vegan potluck in a neighborhood that apparently secedes to washington on the fourth of july (oregon's fireworks laws are much stricter). it was a great day!

my sister's blog!

my sister started a blog. you should check it out: emmaline's practical kitchen.

i'm guessing that in addition to yummy recipes and food ideas, it will probably feature the out-of-control cuteness that are my nephews. case in point, the first photo is of bryce:
