Favorite Day ....Mark And Tressie's 11th Wedding Anniversary..

Yes. Happy. Together. Married in San Francisco June 13, 1997.
Friday the 13th.....
paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) clearly, Not us.....

After a simple ceremony at City Hall, our honeymoon began in The Castro after eating a fantabulous dinner and drinking much champagne at Stars. This, sadly , or not so sadly, became our song.....Why? because I swear, every bar in the Castro had MTV playing on their TV....and this song was playing in every bar every time we walked in!!!
Mark said: "Those girls are so cute!" Jokes on him. We found out when we got back home.....those girls are brothers!!! It's HANSON....I still have no clue what they are saying, but for MmmmBop....

So enjoy a little Mmmm Bop...... the original video we were entranced by......

in this later video.....you can hear their voices are already changing.......

Graduation day June 12, 2005

Lights Camera......Action....

What a yummy day it was ! the vintage shops in Tacoma were open, people were walking downtown from their offices, their condos and busing and driving in .......
'




Planted the box outside with pretty purple alyssum, petunias, salvia and nasturtiums...lychnis and a buddleia that simply frightened Dino since he is not a fan of Butterfly Bush.....Yes, true, they can be rangy and weedy.....oh, but don't you love the honey scented purple candles in midsummer...the butterflies do.....I will sit for hours this summer at Rampart.....and watch the urban butterflies and bees give a show of thanks for the buddleia........
and of course, you probably have many near you if you live or work downtown...they grow in the gutters at the Luzon....just to name one urban garden location....
Purple and Chartreuse paint for the outside is on the June agenda...



Tropical delight....
