Local Art: Fremont Fair Art Cars
The weekend before the Summer Solstice there’s a street fair, complete with citizen parade, in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. Lots of food, art vendors, and craziness ensues.

Construction, Part 2
The outside is finished at last!
That big doorway will change. There are no windows facing our house because that’s where the bathroom is.

1969
I’m not sure if this is Sunfish Pond or Watkins Glen. That’s Helen, Kenny Mastelesz and Joan. I don’t think I went on this trip. But I love that rock formation!
