I made the switch

Well, kids I finally did it, I made the switch to a Mac.

I saw a Mac Mini on eBay and got it. Let me tell you, it is TOTALLY different than Window. It will take some getting use to, but I think I will like it.

It does run better, I will tell ya that.

I will keep you posted

Monday Morning

Today is my day off! I just needed a 3 day weekend, so I got one. I woke up at 5 which is sleeping in for me and when I came out into the living room and started seeing the sun come up,this is what I saw.

Walk on Alki

My friend Tom gave me a call this afternoon wanting to know if I wanted to go for a walk on Alki. Now, if you remember from my previous posts, I had pictures of Alki Beach, but I was a bit away. This time we came in from the back side, so you will be able to see what was in the distance in those other pictures.

Now, Alki is a point so it has a bit of a bump out into the sound.

Here is a map. you can see where we started and where we ended..you can also see in the middle where I live.
Click on it to make it bigger.

Now I took a lot of pics which I will put up as a slide show to the right, but I wanted to point out some things that were fun.

These are Condo's that go over the water, they are spendy, we saw some for sale the cheapest one was 500K
Then we headed to one of the beaches that is has stones instead of sand. Now the tide was out so there were some people down there. I saw this Mom and son, and it was a cute pic
We saw some art in one persons front yard. Their whole yard has all these blue glass bottles, it is really cool

Once we got to Alki, I don't know if I said or not, but there is a Small Statue of Liberty there. Then just spent 2 month making a new plaza for it and it is great.
Then we came up to the beach area, and as you can see, it is a real beach. Someone asked me if they brought the sand in, I told them, they did not.










Now, I have video on my camera, so I stood on the seawall and did a 360, so you can see it all. Yes it is bit windy.

That was my walk on Alki. As soon as the photos upload I will put a slide show off to the right

Totem Pole

Someone was looking at the picture I took from my front window and saw the Totem Pole. They asked me why it was there, and I said, because there is a park there. They asked, have you not gone down to look at it...I said "no".

Now I have lived here for 4 year and have walked by it but never stopped and looked at it.

Well, today, I did.

There is no plaque, or any reference why it is there. I did notice that it points toward my house, no wonder I have had a feeling of being watched.












While I was there I also got a picture of the Space Needle and of course the house.

New pictures of the boys

Ya know, I think it has been awhile since I put pictures of the boy on here.
I took some this morning, because I said I was going to use my camera more.
I do have to say, they are so darn cute..

Aren't they just the cutest! That is Dexter on the left and Bear on the right....and of course, here is the both of them

My yard

Ya know, I got this new camera at the beginning of the year and I really don't use it that much. So, I am going to go out more and take pics and post them here. They may not be that good, but I am learning.

I went out to my yard and took some pics of the blooming flowers. As I learn to use the setting, I am sure they pics will get better....

Lavender

Hot Lips Sage

Some Blue Flower

My Living Room Window

It has been so beautiful here the last week, I thought I would post a view of what I see out my living room window...I even made a handy dandy guide of what you are looking at.
If you click on the image, you can see it a whole lot better.

A. Qwest Field, where the Seahawks play
B. Amazon.com
C. Starbuck Central ( The Mothership)
D. SafeCo Field, where the Mariners play (behind the trees)

This is the view I see, so I thought I would share.

Terrifying Encounter

Now, don't let the title fool you, it is just the name of the You Tube video.

Listen to it, you don't have to have your speakers up loud, just loud enough to hear the people talking. Nothing will jump out or flash on the screen.

You will just have to trust me, you will thank me later......Enjoy....

I have found another one....just as good as the first!!!
