Such a nice Sunday....

Hey folks... Today was a good day. It started out very drizzly, rainy and damp. But we finally we able to head to the park with Janni. I walked down to my newly discovered Cap Hill Sunday Farmer's Market. I think it's been around for the almost 7 yrs I've lived here, but I've never noticed, so it's new to me. I picked up some very fresh carrots, raspberries and a beautiful bouquet of flowers....all for under $20. Once we were home I attempted to make raspberry cobbler from a recipe I have that calls for blackberries - I followed the recipe to a T, but something didn't turn out correctly. There was supposed to be a crumbly crust on top. Hmmm......
Fresh Carrots
Yummy Raspberries
Look at these beautiful flowers!! Amazing against our red wall
?? Not sure what happened here. I followed the recipe.... well, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the berries were still delicious!
Well, well, well... look at who is very happy to get some rubs from his dad :-)

Che Guevara: A total psycho

I'm in the middle of a great book, Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him by Humberto Fontova
This author was on the Michael Medved Show about 2 months ago and I happened to catch this segment. I long has wondered why folks would sport this Che t-shirt I that see alot on Cap Hill. I formally did not know much about the Cuban Revolution. All I know is that Cuba sounds like it was an amazingly hip place in the early 1950's, that I hope Castro dies, and I really feel sorry for the Cuban people. Other than that, I admit I didn't know much.

But wow! After hearing this author on Michael Medved, I was in a rush to get this book. I finally got around to reading it this past week. It is a MUST!! A whole part of history is missing and has been re-written by the NYT (surprise!) and our own American media. Che Guevara is no one to idolize! Just when I think Hollywood can't piss me off more, I give thought to this morons who look up to this killer!! How stupid can people be?!!

Our trip to Westport - Part Two

More pics of us enjoying the beach today. Westport is about 1 hour, 40 mins from Seattle.... maybe almost 2 hours, but totally worth it! The temp today was about 75 and even the water was somewhat comfortable....
