Another scene from Lincoln Park

 

SCM Clinic In Lebanon

Remember all those wheelchairs and other medical supplies we were collecting in the summer for SCM to ship to a free clinic in Lebanon ( which is suffering from a number of man-made disasters)?
The container is still on its way but the clinic is open - and here's their first video (...with subtitles...).
 

Your donations will be put to good use!

I try to put up something every day that makes me smile, but I forgot yesterday ... so ... here's something that never fails ...

Puget Sound, from Lincoln Park tonight

 

Car Cover Tinker Toys!

Today's project: put up a cover to protect my housemate Heather's car from Scot the Pine's enthusiastic sap. After a few days of bombardment, her car looks like the aftermath of a seagull party, except the sap doesn't hose off. 

The weather was not scheduled to stop raining until Friday, so my friend Julie and I said, "what the heck, it's only water", and spent about an hour attaching connector A to pipes 1 and 2, et cetera. 

This is adult tinker toys!!! 

The result is pretty much we needed. I am especially pleased that the rain will still go into the driveway's permeable surface (somewhat concealed by needles and clover) so it can feed the tree instead of the overloaded storm sewers; the water just takes a detour sliding down the canvas top. 

What's YOUR next project?

 

Thanks Lula!

 

Lula has to stop teaching Monday Body Combat classes because of hours changes at the VA. She's still teaching in Tukwila although I think it conflicts with BodyPump.

I am grateful for her teaching and encouraging me to move forward in a new direction. Thanks Lula!
