Pele and Basil bask in the sun while the sounds of Arlo swearing at his computer can be heard from the studio below me. It's something to do with filing for our Seattle city vending license and then the program froze. Arlo just proclaimed "Thank god for cookies" referring to all the numbers he has to keep plugging in, and the computer remembering them for him.

It's supposed to rain all week, bringing my front lawn into even more of a state of swimming pool like quality. I should soak in the sun while it lasts. This pink lady apple is a little too sour for my liking. I think it's time for a afternoon beach-walk.

Just another Saturday night Skyping with my sister Erin in Seattle!

Nice hair sister!

Dear Afrin,

Thank you for letting me breathe again.
(even if it is for only a short while.)

I love you.

Sincerely yours,

Slow Loris

About an hour after having a yelling match concerning
screen set-up charges with Arlo (we fight well, strong
and long) we decided to take a break and go to the beach
for a lunch walk in the sun. On the way to West shore
we stopped by the store, dropped off the new Anderson
red tower shirts (see below post for photo) and I got a
turkey sandwich to go, finding later this note in the
box.

How about this week Elise?!
Want to help us organize our mountain of transparency drawings?
I think we could really use your help!

We rode the roller-coaster when we went to Vegas last month.
We didn't go to gamble, we went to RIDE!
Just kidding, I gambled $3 dollars and Arlo lost $60.
Highlights of the trip were visiting the POOL tradeshow, big burgers, sitting by an actual pool in semi-warm weather, sleeping inside a pyramid, awesome cabbies, eating tacos and drinking beers, checking out dead bodies and the titanic exhibit, riding a roller-coaster, learning how to play blackjack and crazy carpet patterns.
Lowlights were, never breathing real air, never seeing the light of day, a horrible carry-on bag, blinking lights and blinging bells, long customer service lines, & not getting the two queen beds in the spa suite we were promised.
All n' all, GOOD TIMES!

Poor Arlo just spent the last hour getting quite crabby looking through our huge flat file trying to find our blue crab transparency. The old screen had it's final day and needs to be re-burned, and around here there are HUNDREDS of drawings and transparencies floating around. Needle in a haystack. We need a better system then this fake system we've been using. Happy Tuesday Everybody!

We'll be slinging shirts at outdoor and indoor fairs so very soon, can you believe it? Hello Spring! Stay tuned for a list of the upcoming fairs we'll be participating in!

We're screen printing shirts for Anderson's General store today!
It's a two color drawing hand printed on unisex and kids shirts of the red water tower out behind the store.
If you can't make it to Guemes, check out Anderson's online at www.guemesislandstore.com
Unfortunately, you can not order a cold beer online or sit with locals at the wooden bar and eat Yo's yummy food, but you can at least see what you're missing out on!

More of photo's of the shirts being made are on our flickr site!

Arlo and I are about to go on a little hike up Guemes Mountain with the dogs. We just gained access to this slow loris blog from 2002 and are having fun reading the old posts, and excited to start again now adding new ones!

You should look around and read them too! They're from the first log house i lived in, where I printed shirts in a detached garage.
