I had no idea that I did until my neighbor spied the starts on one of my orchids. "Keiki" is Hawiian for baby. I feel so lucky! I’m new to growing orchids…so we’ll see how this all turns out.
Remember these?

First, a commercial from Washington Mutual…where even Paul can get a home loan thanks to their flexible underwriting.
Then…don’t worry, you can sleep knowing you have AIG…I won’t miss this annoying kid…but I did enjoy the laughing baby ads.
Wachovia currently is dancing around in talks with various banks right now hoping for a merger. I wish I could have found the ad where the lady was talking about making her option ARM and how she liked to make her deferred interest payment when her dog was having puppies! All I could find was this promo on a "fixed rate mortgage with payment options for wiggle room".
For my puppy-fix, here’s one more from WaMU.
Better late than never!

I’m just now starting to see signs of some ripe tomatoes from my garden pots.
I’m sure they’ll be worth the wait. We’ve had such a lackluster summer that these fellas will be lucky to ripen on the vine.
JP and Gertrude’s Big Day
August 17, 2008 by 2 Comments
Today in Fremont amongst hundreds and hundreds of Patches Pals and politicians…JP and Gertrude’s statue was unveiled to the delight of many. Pat Cashman did a great job as the narator for this event.
The statue has all ready raised $78,000 for Childrens Hospital and will continue to do so when Pals make donations into the ICU2TV portion of the statue.
There were so many fans there (most with red noses) that I was not able to get a great shot of the new statue…I plan on visiting again soon.
You can check out more photos from today by clicking here. (Also included in this photo set are photos taken from when the original statue design was unveiled).

These Barn Swallows moved in next door and are chirping up a storm. I think they are sweet tweet.
Mortgage Porter Super Hero Trading Cards
July 31, 2008 by 1 Comment
Last week, in San Francisco at RE Bar Camp, the attendees were surprised with their very own super hero trading cards. Somehow, my trading card didn’t make the order with the other "super bloggers" (which is easy to understand since this huge feat was pulled off in just a couple days before the event). A huge thank you goes to Gia Freer, VP and Community Manager of RealSeekr (aka Principessa di Proprieta) for creating my super hero trading card!
On a much more serious note, please check out my article on Rain City Guide about The Housing Rescue Bill which was signed off by President Bush yesterday.
Last Chance for a Patches Pal Paver
May 18, 2008 by Leave a Comment
JP Patches was in West Seattle yesterday, as covered here by the West Seattle Blog. The fundraising for JP’s statue is wrapping up and I understand that your last chance to purchase a Patches Pal Paver is tomorrow, Monday, May 19, 2008. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your name, words or wishes at the base of the statue honoring JP Patches and Gertude. You can get your paver by clicking on JP’s mug on the right side of this site. I have two pavers and can’t wait to see JP’s statue.

Every year my son’s Great Grandma, better known as Nona, makes me a Rhubarb Custard Pie. It’s usually after my birthday because she waits until the rhubarb is ready from her garden…and it’s worth the wait! I’m one lucky lady.
