view from the park

we didn't camp on the beach (too crowded) but we were very close by, and walked down to explore. for you non-seattle readers, the water is puget sound. and mount rainier was out!

camping trip!

our nice little tent:a picture from the car deck on the ferry:
nilla, very chill with the camping:
peet, very cute as always:
peet and nilla got to play with two other dog-friends, and jason & i got to hang out with 7 other people-friends. it was so much fun!

Current events

I wonder if this building will keep its name?

our little old man

yesterday was peet-i-versary. he's been our pup for 3 years (which makes him about 4 years old). this is the best picture i have of peet with his happy-dog-park face on. he smiles at the dog park, or at the end of long walks. it's the greatest thing to see our little old man smile!

Friends?

I took this not too long after these two got mad at each other over a toy. Apparently they made up. Tru went home on Saturday.

our car shop

we seem to be keeping them in business. jason needed new tires.

Chang Thai

This is our favorite Thai restaurant from our old neighborhood. We ate there or ordered delivery quite a lot. Often enough that at one point the delivery guy said, "it's been awhile!" when we hadn't ordered in awhile. We moved to our new neighborhood about five months ago, and haven't been back since. It's a 20-some minute drive in good/no traffic.

Last night we had an errand to run in North Seattle, so we decided to have dinner at our old spot. We got there and found it closed. Permanently.

Farewell, Chang Thai. We'll miss you.
