Grateful...

After cleaning out my dad's apartment this last weekend, I just have to say that I am grateful for all those who helped. The church members who came to help were amazing, especially considering some of them helped dad move in all that stuff just a few months ago. Dad's friend Jerome was also an amazing help, saving us many trips to good will by finding places for all the useful household items. He even helped us cart most of dad's books to the library to donate. The apartment managers were also very helpful and understanding. Of course, Kat, Rick and Holly were also selfless with their time and energy. I am especially grateful for Holly, who was brave enough to tackle the bathroom! It was not a pleasant task!

Um...

After cleaning out my dad's apartment over the past few days, I've realized that there are just some things you don't want to know about your parents. The fact that he was over 60 and still wearing short shorts and using sun-in makes me laugh.
After looking at the kitchen, I'm grateful to know that he was never hungry!


It was kind of sad that he had pills and cough drops in every room and in all coat pockets. It has been fun to meet his neighbors and friends (they keep coming by to figure out who is making all the racket!) I probably could've lived without finding his porn collection, but I guess it will be a funny memory for a long time. It makes me nervous about what I'm going to find next!

China Town

So, I recently discovered that Las Vegas has a China Town. We went there today for lunnch. It was really interesting to see all the business names in foreign characters, when we were only a few blocks from the strip. We had a lot of fun, and the food was really good. It's too bad it was raining, I didn't get to take any pictures!

Bremerton

After being in Washington the last few days, I've realized how much I miss the green. Not the I have any plans for moving back to the rainy, frizzy hair states. Everything out there is just so pretty and peaceful, from the green trees to the water and ferries. It also reminds me of how far I've come since I've lived in the northwest. Of course, like always, I forgot to take pictures. I even had my camera with me! I guess some things will never change!
