Summer

Happy Summer my friends and a big high-five to the Z-clan in Tennessee!

Wanda, We Bid You Adieu

The time has come for us to say a teary goodbye to our Wanda. She has been our wonderful traveling companion in California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii. We are going to miss her very much, but she is in the hands of a couple who will give her the attention she deserves and will take her on many a camping adventure.

Some will say she is just a van, but to us, she is Wanda the Westy! Those who have had a Westy will surely understand.

Frieden my friends!

Shakshuka

There is nothing like a little shakshuka in the morning! The Tunisians do know how to roll for breakfast. A tip of the paddy cap to Yotam Ottolenghi's "Jeruslaem" cookbook for his take on the shakshuka.

A dollop of olive oil, then harissa, cumin, garlic, tomato paste, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs. Add a little yogurt on top for a delicious breakfast for two!

Peace my friends!

A Bit More O'Bellingham

I took a walk around Bellingham this morning to take a few pictures to share with my many thousands of followers:

 The backways and alleys draw my eye with the contrast in colors and the fading away of the old.

 I think Clark Kent works here.

 This is a tree by a yarn store that is decorated with knitted works of art.

 Many, many trees downtown produce many, many leaves. Fall should be a blast!

 The new is here and there. Fortunately not too much here.

 One of the ugliest parking garages I have ever seen. East-German designer perhaps!

 Plenty of red brick here!

 Tracks to nowhere. Trains run all day and night here down at the bay, but they have moved on from this part of town.

I work out here at the YMCA. The Y was first in Bellingham in 1889, and moved to this building in 1942.

Soaking up the sun this morning.

Peace my friends and a Happy 4th!
