Coming Home to the Alki Homestead

0206-Homestead 0085-HomesteadMembers of the community were able to take home a slice of log from the historic 1904 Alki Homestead at this year’s auction benefit for the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. This year’s presentation was “Coming Home to the Homestead, Alki Homestead” held at Salty’s on Alki. Restoration has begun on the famous landmark that was destroyed by fire in 2009. Brother and sister, Catherine Gruye Alexamnder and Rob Gruye told stories of growing up in the Alki Homestead. We all look forward to the rebirth of this much loved Alki icon.

Twins?

I met the twins via a referral from one of my favorite realtors, Ginny. Sean’s blueberry colored hair – very becoming; and handsomely recorded in the fall colors found at the Arboretum on campus. His brother Andrew has the most charming smile as I’m sure you’ll agree.

Maiselle’s Senior Session

gailannphotoLeave a comment

Between rainy days we lucked out…it was a beautiful, cool, sunny day and perfect for photos. We met up at the community college for a walk through the park. Her funky style and fearless attitude made it a pleasure working with her. Maiselle’s smooth skin tones and beautiful hair complemented the fall colors beautifully.

It was the “Monster Dash!”

gailannphotoLeave a comment

I helped sponsor this year’s “Monster Dash”. It was a great day for a 5K. Over 200 participants came to Lincoln Park, most in costume, to dash through the park.  Those able to run or walk started the 5k about 9am followed by the Little Monsters Dash! What a sight…they ran their little hearts out!

Festival highlights:
– Masterpieces of Polish Cinema was presented at NWFF.
– Director Zanussi was gracious and relaxed as he spoke to avid fans at Scarecrow Video.
– Reception at SIFF with several Polish actors/actresses
