Sailing Update

Boat life has been an adventure. Last week was our first Duck Dodge. Duck Dodge is a sailing race around Lake Union that happens every Tuesday evening in the summer. Out came the sun as did a lot of boats. Ty was on the jib sheet and I was the photographer. We sailed around the lake, barely missing other boats, watching collisions and having fun. After the race we 'rafted up' in the middle of the lake. It was a party like I'd never experienced floating out there in the dark. Here are my favorite pics.

Lucille

While home for a visit I took my nanny's portrait. Grandma Lucille Stone turned 91 in March and is the sweetest southern belle in Spokane. Although she has dementia and is often confused, she always knows who I am. I think you can see her dementia in this series of photos - one minute she's right there with you and the next she's not. You can also see her kindness.

Her loyal cat Sheba.
