Selling my mommy's house

My dear mother died and it was up to me to sell her home. This took quite some time, as she and my father built the home and in 1965 moved in, raised four kids there and kept quite a bit of "stuff".
The city of Tukwila also had plans to repair a storm drain that ran through her yard. It took several months of planning and cleaning to get the home ready for market.

Here I am with my mom before her cancer took her to the other side.

Spring has Sprung!

 Love spring! My favorite season. Time to clean up the garden...

Draining the Locks

It's that time again. Draining the locks in Ballard to clean out whatever grows underwater.
I wonder what odd items are found...

Garages

Are garages really ever used for parking? I say, no.

Recycling

I love that Seattle recycles. I need to remember to take the yard waste out before the bag gets full. wow.

Drawing People
