Seattle Art



























The magnificent art of Chihuly is on display directly below the Space Needle in downtown Seattle.  It's hard to imagine the size and uniqueness of his glass creations!  These two story masterpieces are incredible!  Our first stop on the way to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival was delightful!  We enjoyed a wonderful meal in the revolving restaurant on the top of the Needle.  After this treat,  we walked through the Pike Street Market.  You can get about anything you want at this market.  The fresh fish and vegetables enticed you where ever you looked.  We would highly recommend this adventure to anyone!

Bkake & Brady


























The two "B's",  Blake, the Longhorn and Brady, the Duck were both having fun recently.  Blake,  Holly and Joe's son was running in the "Derrick Days Race" in Mildred, Texas - a BIG fund raiser and Chile Cook Off.  Blake's school got a trophy for second place!  Congratulations Blake for doing your part!   Meanwhile, in Eugene, Oregon,  Brady was busy trying to get on base.  If you will note,  Brady was called out on a low ball that we would have liked to show to the umpire!   He also made some nice plays in left field.  The Red Lion sign on the fence was a reminder to us all - the place Jana and Paul were married in Eugene before Brady was even thought of! Note:  Not sure what kind of lens Holly uses for her photo but it sure makes her look10 years younger!  Click on photo to enlarge.
