Over the top technology

A hat tip to Tony at The Mortgage Cicerone for passing along this amazing, and a bit scary, information. The GPS in your cell phone allows you to be tracked and with today’s satelite technology, you can be located and viewed at any time! I love technology as much as the next person…but is this too much?

Happy Mother’s Day

My Mom is the blond lady sitting on the left. The photo was taken at Seward Park just a couple years ago. The red car is an Austin Healy, I’m guessing a 1961 3000 (one of my favorite cars). My Aunt Teen is the other lady with my Mom. Who are the boys…Who knows?
I’m assuming my Aunt Vianne snapped the photo since that’s her Jaguar in the background. My Mom and Aunts would cruise the Renton Loop "back in the day." This was a few years before I came along (I’m the oldest wisest of three girls).
Happy Mothers’ Day to all Moms.
Just in time for Mother’s Day

Do you have a present for Mom yet? How about some Marble columns?
Oooh Laa Laa… I’m sure these will add value to your home or at least it will look like a millionaire lives there. Of course I can help you with a home equity loan to finance your marble columns!
I love Spring in Seattle! Happy Friday everyone.

This Wisteria weathered a real tough winter. The plant is less than a year old and I’m happy to see it thriving.
Not Feeling Funny on a Friday
April 13, 2007 by 3 Comments
This is my second day of having a bug. Not the type Larry Cragun likes! I’m sick at home. Luckily, I’m usually pretty healthy. When I’m not feeling at my best, I don’t know why, but I like to stretch out on the couch and fall asleep watching something stupid on the TV. I was just getting ready to take a cat nap…and I see one of my cat’s (we have three) has beat me to my spot on the sofa.
Thelma is almost the size of my Pug. I think I’ll let her have the couch…for now.
A Room with a View: The Inn at El Gaucho
April 9, 2007 by Leave a Comment
My husband and I received a wedding gift to stay at the Inn at El Gaucho in the Bell Town district of Seattle. Saturday night, we had tickets to see Greg Brown and Bo Ramsey at the Moore Theatre, so we decided to use our present.
Since we were staying there, we also made reservations for dinner prior to our show. I have to tell you, I was so impressed with the service. The food was outstanding too. We had the New York for Two–prepared perfectly. It’s not cheap–but hey, we don’t go out much and the room was paid for!
We caught a cab to the show at the Moore. The Moore Theatre was built in 1907 and is the oldest remaining theater in Seattle. It is certainly not as flashy as The Paramount and is in need of some TLC. Regardless, the Moore is an amazing venue.
We had the fortune to see Greg Brown and Bo Ramsey at the Tractor Tavern a few years ago. That was an incredible concert. Greg made you feel like he was long time old friend and was very interactive with the crowd. His performance then was passionate and lively. I probably went into this concert with too high of expectations because this show seemed to be lacking that. It was a bit disconnected and, although he is very talented and has a one of a kind voice, it appeared to me that he just wanted to get the gig down and call it a night.
We walked back to El Gaucho and finished our evening with a flaming Spanish Coffee. The photo above I snapped with my Treo from our suite, is of The Cyclops bar (it’s a blinking neon eye). While relaxing in our room, I had a chance to read Seattle Metropolitan Magazine’s list of the Top 10 Neighborhoods…click here to read more.
We should go out more often!

The March of the Librarians takes place in Seattle’s new library. This documentary reveals what happens when 10,000 librarians gather for an American Library Association convention. I just had to share!
