As I mentioned September was action packed beginning with dropping my parents off at the airport and they headed to China to watch potatoes and corn grow. The weekend came and I drove over to meet Mickey Blue Eyes and we headed to the technical school he is interested in and then I drove to my sisters and we went to dinner at Endolyne Joe's. Someday that will be a tax write off, because we took an after dinner walk so I could take photo's and study the neighborhood, research for a book that has been knocking around in my head for awhile, 'Curador' is how I have come to refer to it as. This evening we had some rare time alone with her youngest daughter while the older kids were boating. The following day was more of the same; we lounged on a blanket covered grass slope above the pebbled shores of Lake Washington hanging with the baby, providing food and pit stops for the boaters. Summer was delayed this year and it was a rare hot and clear blue sky day in the heart of the Puget Sound.
The next weekend I attended Zac Brown at the Gorge with friends. Driving the back way along the river to meet them at Vantage. What memories that drive provoked. Hanford, Midway, Desert Aire, Mattawa, Shawana and the dams. The locale of my early youth. Midway now gone, so gone that if you look nothing is there kind of gone. But on second glance there is a road and entrance. But the houses, trees and community gone without a trace. Eerie because I can remember napping in the house nearest the sub station, playing in the park and wishing to be riding the horses housed in the corral next to the steep slope of the river gorge and the only thing that remains is the subway station. The houses and trees completely gone, vanished like the land of never was.The Vernita Toll Bridge has been paid for and is now just a bridge. Desert Aire has grown and I don't recognize it so much and as I pass by Buck Owens Hill, was shocked at all the new housing in Mattawa. I kept driving and didn't stop till Vantage.
The first weekend of October brought lawn tickets to the Uproar festival. Me and the girls stopped in Cle Elum to pick up my boys and we made our way to the White River Amphitheater for the sounds of Seether, Three Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold. Traffic after was a bitch.
Basically did not write much at all. But I saw some great bands this summer and had some good moments with my favorite boys in the entire world.
In the circle of life I'm ending the dry spell of the blog where I began at my sisters.
Oh and I almost forgot, got this years boots for the boot collection.
