hopping on the penny-farthing
Last month we went to Port Townsend and walked around for several hours. From the ferry, we walked along the shore, until we reached the State Park. We happened upon this couple who's hobby is preserving history. They both wear the clothes of that period and the husband restores the old, penny-farthing bikes.

We made our way back into town and I caught site of this retro ice cream shop with it's own bubble gum dispenser.

Tired from all the walking, we decided to catch a movie at the town's old theatre. I loved the painted movie curtain. It reminded me of how my sister and I liked to call our Mom, The Rose.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
