Last night brought a major storm to the Seattle area, but in between gales, I was able to trek up 1st Avenue to the Union Bar and Restaurant for delicious dinner of mackerel and fava beans. My taste buds were smiling.

The restaurant is directly across from the Seattle Museum of Art
Better even than the food, however, was this amazing painting. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
Well, I found out a little about Adde Russell.
It turns out that she’s the artist for the cd covers for Death Cab for Cutie:

Can I just say that Adde Russell has a new fan!
After Wednesday night’s storms, Thursday greeted Seattle with sunshine. In between school visits my intrepid tour guide took me to Mockingbird Books in Greenlake to sign stock, and who should I find there but one of my all-time favorite people, poet Julie Larios.
And then, to seal the deal, Julie and her handsome husband Fernando, invited me to dinner at their house:

There you go, life is good!
Hi, Kathi!! Hi, Julie!! Fantastic bookstore. Have a great picnic. xoxo
