I lived in a lot of places before I landed in Seattle. But, once I landed here - 1991 - I fell in love with it like I had never fallen in love with any other place. And I'm still in love. I do love the weather. For sure. But, mostly I love the culture and mores.

There is this Methodist church in West Seattle. It's just a regular church in the middle of a regular neighborhood. I found it originally because it was not far from the pool and there was a big sign that said 'garage sale'. It was a fabulous garage sale. Before the pandemic they held garage sales and rummage sales and bake sales regularly and I never missed a one. They were the nicest people and they had great shit.

I honestly had not thought of them much in the past three years until today. Today I learned that they are hosting a drag queen tea party!!!!!

I love living in a town where a regular random neighborhood Methodist Church holds a tea party with a drag queen and invites anyone and everyone. (I'm not going BUT I sure did make a donation.)
