The grass is NOT always greener..

We have the worst neighbors. Brian doesn't even like them. When he is out and they run up to him, is tries to go inside. We have filed a complaint with the city about the dump they call a yard. We are just waiting now. Aren't you jealous of our view?

Ouch!

This is a regular suburb gas station. I get my gas here 90% of the time. It is generally the lowest in the area.... Can anyone beat that? I am guessing we will be near $4 by the end of the summer.

Hotel

The newly upated Hotel Gilbert had it's first guests this past week. My great friends Greg, Angie and their daughter Abi came from upstate New York. This was their first trip to Seattle. They did get to see Mt. Rainier. They actually got to see Mt Baker too. We did the market, underground, ferry ride, ate, tower tour, walked around the needle. It was a great week! I was very sad when they left yesterday.

Other stuff....

Today I we are going to Opening day at Safeco Field. We are in a box! It should be a blast.

Just finished the book 'The Time Travelers Wife". VERY GOOD!

I have a new camera, my canon broke... so far the picures look good. Agree?
