Laces Akimbo

I've already posted one of these photos but after putting it together with it's sisters thought I'd add it as a little story.

My son Skyeler.

My oldest son Skyeler is a chef at Txori in Belltown and Vios in Ravenna. He makes delicious tapas at the former and Greek food at the latter. I don't get to see him enough.

Souvenir

Stopped in to see my friend Curtis at his shop, Souvenir in Ballard, and took this picture of the art on display there.

Vinyl

I've been scoring a lot of vinyl lately at estate & yard sales. Lots of fun stuff but not much jazz or rock and roll. I now have a collection of Henry Mancini soundtracks, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, and musicals not to mention some nice Sinatra and Nat King Cole. All of it in very good shape. My mom liked a piano player by the name of Frankie Carle and I now have a collection of his also. I think I'll post some of the cover art also as it's very groovy.

Maebe the pit bull terrier.

This is Maebe. She's a pit bull that moved in with us along with our son, Graham. Up until having Maebe in the house I would have believed that pit bulls are mean viscous dogs but Maebe is the complete opposite in fact the only way I can possibly picture her harming anyone is by over loving them. She even spent one sunny Sunday afternoon in our yard playing with a kitten. The kitten showed absolutely no fear of Maebe. She loves ice cubes and every evening at cocktail hour when I get ice from the fridge she's right there to get a cube for herself.
