Paint Nite Plumage

The peacock on top of the bookshelf is my very first masterpiece.

Watch out Picasso.

Well…

Not exactly.

I’m still proud and giving myself a pat on the back though.

Here’s how it all began.

In elementary school I dressed up as an artist, a la Georgia O’Keefe style, for a Halloween party at church. I wore a long sleeved striped shirt that was a little too big for me, black pants, and some sort of hat. In my mind I pulled off the artist look flawlessly. Later that night I became the queen of bobbing for apples as well. We used tongs instead of submersing our heads into a bucket of ice cold water.

Scored. Every. Time.

Seattle Mariners player and Safeco field.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Edge family


Mom and I at Seattle Center
Once in awhile I forget 3,000 miles separate me from my family.  When it happens I'm usually venturing out into new territory here alone. I look around and have a "you're not in Kansas anymore" moment. After not seeing my family for nearly two years the distance went to zero when my Mom, Justin (nephew), and Kai (niece) flew into Seattle from North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Whoo hoo!
