Over the last year, maybe longer my mom has started her own home business.  She has decided to or should I say she did decide to start making earrings and selling them at local bizarres and craft shows.  She has also made cell phone holders and a few necklaces for me.  I would have to say that she is doing pretty good.  The winter time or should I say between Christmas and April are the off months since most craft shows are outside and in the Seattle area this isn’t a good time for outdoor activities.

A guy I know and I are working on a new website for her so she can start selling her goods online.  I hope that will grow her business base and make more money since they are in retirement.  If you have some time check out her website – webersoriginals.com ** Just keep in mind the site is being built at the moment. **

Of course I will blast the news once it’s done.

Checking in to see if there was any new info about the shooting up in Kent, Washington that was by the Kent Cornucopia Days Festival.

Now the Kent Police are looking into possible gang ties for the shooting.  They had another incident where they found another young man shot in the neck in Renton which they think he was shot while trying to retaliate for the earlier shooting..  Just crazy..  Renton is my old home town..!!!

Here is part of the article:

“There were about 20 people, plus 10 to 15 customers in there when the shooting happened, so it was a pretty busy place at that moment,” Kent police spokesman Paul Peterson said.

About two hours later, at 9:40 p.m., an 18-year-old man stumbled into a convenience store parking lot near the Renton Transit Center and collapsed from a gunshot wound to the neck, Renton police said.

So I got lucky today and my flight with American Airlines was NOT canceled.  Thank goodness.

So after arriving I took a little road trip to Bellevue and then back to Renton.  It’s good to be back home and see the old familiar sites and all the new construction going up.  I do NOT miss the traffic, and I thought the traffic was bad in Dallas/Fort Worth, but wow it was already bad when I moved away from Renton but it just sucks now!!!

Here are 2 shots, one of Bellevue from the car and the other from Lake Washington from Renton (via the car)

Tomorrow I hope to get some more pictures and post some to my photo page of the ones I took today.
