Host Homes Needed for Monthly Board Meetings
HELP! It's no fun going to the Bellevue Library for our monthly Board
Meetings (May meeting) when we can walk to a neighbor's home and meet
new/old friends. Sign up to host with Nyla Wang:
mailto:secretary@vuecrest.net secretary@vuecrest.net. (We come already fed
and watered!)
Spring/Summer: Think Vuecrest Views.and Trimming
We have had a wet winter and the result is that trees, hedges, shrubs have
significant new growth. Our CC&R's clearly state that walls, fences and
hedges shall not be higher than 6 ft. above the Existing Grade, and those
bordering the street are limited to 4'. Also, trees and shrubs shall not
reach a height that will obstruct the main floor view of the adjacent or
neighboring properties. Main floor view is defined as "Standing view from
main floor/main living area, including kitchen or where one entertains
guests, is considered for protection". So, get out those clippers and keep
your neighbors, your growing things and your community happy.
Large Vehicle Concerns
Large trucks, campers, boats, mobile homes, RV's are not permitted to be
stored on Vuecrest properties. They are permitted in garages at all times,
and in driveways only for temporary cleaning and servicing.
Save the Date! Our Annual Vuecrest Summer Picnic will be held on Sunday,
August 28th. You'll hear more exciting news about this popular event in
future newsletters.

TID-BITS!
This newsletter is for everyone, and we'd love to hear from you! Melissa
Hambleton, an avid reader, has agreed to tell us about her latest greatest
book that she just couldn't put down until the last page. And my husband,
David, who usually focuses on 600 page historical biographies (which tend to
put him to sleep) has now moved into more contemporary reads and will share
some of his thoughts. We also have our monthly feature "New to the Vue"
where we welcome newcomers, as well as our "Vintage Vuecrest" where
long-time residents have a chance to reminisce about their early days in
this wonderful neighborhood. If you fit into either of these categories, let
us know! And if you don't, then let's start new categories: Do you have some
gardening pointers to share? A quick and easy reliable recipe? How about a
quick tip for organizing something/anything! Can you teach us how to arrange
fresh cut flowers with flare? YOU know something that WE don't.so share it
with all of us, your neighbors!
Let's talk about May and all the fun and wonderful events that await you!
While strolling through the park one day
In the merry, merry month of May,
I was taken by surprise
by a pair of roguish eyes
in a moment my poor heart was stole away.
A smile was all she gave to me
Of course we were as happy as can be! Ed Haley / 1884
We can start with the FREE 13th Annual Kirkland Artist Studio Tour on
May 7-8. It's a chance for a behind-the-scenes peek at private "ateliers"
and an opportunity to meet and mingle with local artists. 22 homes and
studios will be open to the public, many along the shores of Lake
Washington. This is a self-guided tour (map provided on-line) and features
artists who work with assorted media, including pottery, painting, garden
art, jewelry, glass etc. Watch these well-known local artists as they
create; and let yourself be inspired at the same time! Take your mom (after
all, its Mother's Day weekend!) in gratitude for what she created (YOU!) See

it! It's TEN GRAND!! On Saturday, May 14, 7PM, ten grand pianos and ten

Disney's Lady and the Tramp / 1955). Oh my! Pussy(cats) Galore! Many

Blvd. S., 10AM-4PM. ***** Did I forget to mention there is still another
holiday this month?? May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day!!! Don't waste
your time mixing up butter, sugar, eggs and flour in a bowl, cuz it's NOT
chocolate-chip COOKIE day; the focus is on those sweet and luscious little
chip-eroonies themselves, sans vehicle. Just stop at QFC and buy a hefty
celebration sized bag, slump down in your car real low so no one sees you,
tear the bag open.and funnel 'em down! Not every holiday has to be shared
with others. ***** Did you miss the Veggie-Fest last month?? Do you wish you
could have been there to taste some "new" foods? (That always kills me...as
if foods are really "old" or "new".unless you're talking about the number of
weeks they've been sitting on the back shelf of the reefer.). Here's another
opportunity to stay in touch with "cuisine au courant": The 18th Annual Herb
and Food Fair is being held on Saturday, May 21 at Bastyr University. It's
FREE and should be a real "happening": educational speakers and workshops,
cooking demonstrations, nutrition experts, live music, garden tours,
face-painting for kids, etc. Check out their website:
http://www.bastyr.edu www.bastyr.edu or just GO THERE: 14500 Juanita
Drive NE, Kenmore. 10AM-5PM. Theme for this year: "Feed your mind, body and
spirit". Sounds like a really fine plan to me-*****I'm beginning to think
that May 21 may be a SUPER bee-sy day for all you Vuecresters! "Honeycomb,
won't you be my baby, Honeycomb, be my own. What a darn good life when you
got a wife like Honeycomb" (Jimmie Rifers/1957). Bzzzzzzzzz. It's the
BEE-FEST! Here's your warm-up: What do you get if you cross a bee with a
doorbell? A hum-dinger!!! HA! What do you call an over-weight bee?
Chub-bee!!! HA HA! What goes zzub-zzub? A bee flying backwards!!! HA HA HA!
Alright, already! I'll stop if YOU stop, that is: Stop by the Bee Garden in
west Seattle and bee.bee-witched!!! http://www.westseattlebeegarden.com
www.westseattlebeegarden.com. ***** If the buzz of the bees is just too low
key, and you want some REAL noise, head up to Paine Field for the 21st

Are you still with me? Hang in there.the month of May has FIVE Sundays so

world. There are over 150 performances with collaborators from the Peruvian,
Japanese and Polish communities, as well as a spotlight on Black Arts and
Idaho's Treefort music. Even Seattle Opera is scheduled to present its new

Museum...again! What a place! Just stroll downhill to the BAM ("Bam, bam, he
shot me down, bam, bam, I hit the ground, bam, bam, my baby shot me down."
Nancy Sinatra/1966) for some free, drop-in activities on Friday, May 27,
10AM-11:30. Kidsquest will be there and provide lots of hands-on fun stuff
to do.
Do I hear you asking: "Can we go home now, Can we? Can we??" HUSH! The
answer is NO! We haven't celebrated Memorial Day yet: Monday, May 31.
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave. George Cohan / 1906
My Memory of Memorial Day in the 1950's: I grew up in a small Vermont
town (pop. 500) and there was an annual Memorial Day Parade. Everyone
gathered by the flag pole on Main Street in front of the Ackerley Memorial
Building which housed a bank, our town library and several offices. The
parade ended at the local cemetery, hardly a mile away. I remember seeing
maybe 6 or 8 really old men in brown uniforms that hung limply from their
shoulders and smelled of moth balls. They wore matching hats that looked
like boats, the kind I used to fold out of a large piece of paper. I thought
I knew everyone in my little town, so I wondered: Who are these men? Where
do they live? What do they do the other 364 days of the year? They just
seemed to emerge on this last Monday in May and everyone made such a fuss
over them! They led the procession very slowly (and I thought they should be
last, not in the front - they're holding everyone up!) and there was lots of
saluting going on. These old guys were followed by the high school band;
that is, whoever was forced by their parents to show up and play. Then came
some adults I knew, like our school teachers and Harry who ran the grocery
store and Mr. Stafford who owned a hardware store and Clarence who drove the
town snow-plow. Then there were always a few older kids from my school, but
only the boys. They had woven red, white and blue crepe paper streamers thru
the spokes of their bikes, and then used clothes pins and playing cards to
make a loud flap-flap noise as they pedaled. They were always last in the
parade because they just joked around and did wheelies and made stupid faces
at everyone. I was never allowed to go to the cemetery so I just watched
from the stairs at the Memorial Building until the very end of the parade
turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
If you're looking for an old-fashioned Memorial Day, head out to the
Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle, 9404 East Marginal Way South.
The Boeing Employee Concert Band will play old patriotic favorites from
10:30AM, followed by a ceremony at 11AM. ****If you want something more
ROUSING, more RUMBLING, more RAUCOUS then it's time for TANK-FEST!! ("Tanks
for the memories, of rainy afternoons, of swingy Harlem tunes." Rainger &
Robin/ Bob Hope/1938). More noise! More smoke! Stand back when that Mighty
25 TON Sherman heads out on the field, a'rolling and a'firing away! View the
outstanding collection (courtesy of Paul Allen) of 25-30 last-of-their-kind
WWII aircraft, restored to the highest level of authenticity. 10AM-5PM at
the Flying Heritage Collection, 3407 109th Street SW at Paine Field, South
Everett. For best prices buy tikkies at:

FREE, ages 6-17: $10, Seniors: $12, Adults: $14; family package pricing
avbl. ***** Are you too pooped to go anywhere? It's Memorial Day and if a
patriotic salute of the quiet kind is on your agenda- then settle in for
some sofa-time, prop those feet up, keep the popcorn handy and tune in to
Channel 9 on Sunday evening, May 29. 8PM. Enjoy their annual tribute to the
service and sacrifice of America's men and women in uniform. This year's
concert will feature the National Symphony Orchestra, as well as well- known
music stars. ***** "How much is that doggie in the window?" (Patti Page /
1952) So you bought that adorable little pooch, brought it home but now WHO
IS GOING TO WALK IT???? Vuecrest has a young, new entrepreneur, her name is
Hailey Hansen and she lives at 9650 Hilltop Road. She is 8 years old and has
been walking and feeding dogs for 3 years. At this time she is available
every Wednesday from 12:30 on; just drop off Rex or Fido with bowl and leash
and she'll keep them entertained for as long as you wish. Hailey has 3
friends who will be working with her, and when school finishes in June,
their doggie-care will expand to more days and longer hours. She's a true
dog-lover (attested to by Harley and Clyde who currently reap all her
attention). Give Hailey a call at 425-229-0145 and talk "dog". ***** Have
you been to Totem Lake lately?? Well, it's GONE! Not just the totem, or the
lake (I never saw either of them anyways). All that's left is a lonely
little Ross and a shoe store on the north end. The rest has been razed!
Yes, RAZED.what a great word! You might think they "rebuilt" Totem Lake (ie,
they "raised" it) but nooo, they tore it down (razed). These are called
antonymic homophones, where the words sound the same, have opposite meanings
but are spelled differently. Almost, but not quite the same, is the
antonymic homonym where the words sound the same, have opposite meanings but
are spelled the same, such as: cleave (cling together) vs. cleave (tear
apart). And here's another one: "I turned the alarm OFF after the alarm went
OFF (ie, it went ON). YE-GAWDS! Aren't words fun??!
Last minute Reminders: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice
cream!" (Novelty Song by Howard Johnson/1920's). Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream
will open a scoop shop on the first level at Bel-Square, opposite McDonalds,
in late May. What a perfect spot for a break after shopping, or stop by for
an after-dinner treat. In honor of the political season, check out their
favorite new flavor: it's called "Bernie's Yearning"! (WHAT?? No "Chumpy
Trumpy"?? They must be trying to save us from BRAIN-FREEZE!)
Book Re-Vues: "Hi! I'm Melissa Hambleton (you may remember me as the
organizer of recent annual picnics). My husband Bert and I moved to
Vuecrest four years ago, from the Sammamish Plateau. We're at 9805 Vineyard
Crest, and are delighted to live in the Vuecrest neighborhood! Our three
children are all grown, and now we are having a great time with our
grandson. I enjoy gardening, golfing, travelling and playing the piano, but
reading is my favorite hobby!
As a dedicated reader, many of my best reads have been recommended to me by
other readers. I'm in a couple book clubs, too, so sometimes am 'forced' to
read out of my comfort zone, which I've discovered usually is a very good
thing. I'm delighted to have an outlet for spreading the news about some
really good books on my list. All of the books I read are widely available.
We have a great library in Bellevue, and wonderful bookstores! Don't forget
to go to the KCLS website; checking out their e-books is a breeze. Happy
reading!
Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson. (Spoiler
alert: the boat sinks!) As a reader who has always had to be coerced to
read any non-fiction, an author like Erik Larson is so welcome! He can take
an historical event, and bring it alive, through impeccable research and,
especially, by humanizing history. His stories about the people involved in
events are wonderfully written. The 101 years since the Lusitania's last
voyage will drop away, as you'll quickly be caught up in the story. Dead
Wake reads like a thriller! I was captivated by the passengers' tales, and
by the information about all the political maneuvering going on at the time
(World War I). Did I catch a whiff of a conspiracy? Read it..you'll learn
AND be entertained! "
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (Quick review by David Pitkethly)
This is a memoire written by a brilliant chief resident in neurosurgery
at Stanford University who finds himself with the devastating diagnosis of
advanced lung cancer with widespread metastases. He is a year from
graduation and looking forward to a promising career in academic medicine.
Paul Kalanithi has a degree in English literature, and his masterful skill
as a writer is evident throughout the book. As a bonus, a very flattering
forward is written by Abraham Verghese, Professor of Medicine at Stanford
and the author of the bestselling novel, Cutting for Stone.
Dr. Kalanithi describes his years of medical school and neurosurgery
residency in great detail. This is a fascinating portrayal of the rigors of
the training it takes to become a neurosurgeon.
The overriding theme of the book is his tremendous will to live despite
the devastation of knowing too well, as a physician, what lies ahead .The
issues of dying, relationships, doctor as a patient, religion, psychology
and relevant authors/ literature are all examined in illustrious detail.
I highly recommend this 200 page book, and it is available at the
Bellevue Public Library. DTP
New to the Vue: We welcome Joyce Luo and her husband Daniel Li to 9331
Vineyard Crest. They are originally from China, but have lived in Redmond
for the past 18 years. Daniel works for Microsoft, and Joyce for an
international IT company. Their son Jeffrey graduates high school this
spring and has not yet decided whether he wants to go to MIT and study
Computer Science, or attend Duke and become a physician; he has been
accepted at both schools. Their daughter, Delora is 14 and attends Bellevue
High. Both kids are very involved in swimming at the Bellevue Club. They
started at an early age and enjoy competition. The Li's are a busy family
but still try to find time for jogging, reading and making new friends.
Milo, their long-haired black and white tuxedo kitty welcomed me with extra
loud purrs and figure 8's when she sniffed out the cat-nip mouse I had made
for her. They moved here last December and look forward to participating in
Vuecrest activities. (Got a kitty? Let me know and I'll make a mouse for
yours, too!)
Vintage Vuecrest:
The sun made a timely entrance as I started my walk-around, but I didn't
get very far. Just several houses up the road, I saw an open door at Anne
Kellogg's home, 9678 Hilltop Road, so I thought I'd say a quick hello. The
wonderful thing about Anne, is just that: there is no quick hello! She is
much too interesting and engaging, and I happily lingered. The clouds were
back out by the time I left a couple hours later.
Anne grew up in the Highlands in Seattle with her 4 siblings. After
attending Briarcliff College in New York, she transferred to UW and studied
sociology. By the end of her junior year she had fallen in love with a
handsome young medical student, Howard Kellogg. After Howard completed his 4
years of medical school, they decided to settle down in Yarrow Point where
he established his Seattle surgical practice and they raised their 5
children. Then, over the years, it seemed they had less in common, and went
their separate ways. Anne was now on her own. She had always had a passion
for cooking and this seemed like a perfect time to establish her own
catering business. She also worked at the Yankee Kitchen and then, Mr. J's
(both cooking stores in the present day QFC). In 1986 while she was out for
a walk, she saw a fellow pounding a "For Sale" sign at 9837 Hilltop Road.
The house was lovely, situated on a large and deep angled lot, and even had
a pickle ball court in the back, which thrilled her! Although she has done
many updates over the past 40 years, it still has its original rambler floor
plan but is modernized with charm and color - Anne's own unique personality
glows throughout. She always loved travel and on an excursion to Australia,
she shared a table with a fellow traveler, Dutch Hobbs, and that set her
future course on a whole different kind of excursion! They married in 2003
and enjoyed their time here and in Denver, where Dutch continued to work as
an engineer, until his passing last July.
Anne has been a very busy gal all of her life; she has spent her years
cooking, skiing, gardening, playing pickle ball, and volunteered for 20+
years as a reading tutor to children and with the Junior League. Many family
celebrations, which include her 2 remaining siblings, her 5 adult children
and their spouses, 18 grandchildren and 9 grandchildren are often held at
her Vuecrest home where she continues to be Hostess Extraordinaire. (Oops, I
almost forgot that little cutie-pie spaniel Maddox, who actually belongs to
Anne's daughter but seems to have made himself a "pooch in residence").
One of Anne's fondest memories is of the Bunco card group and its
members, most of whom lived here in Vuecrest. There were usually 16 who
played regularly and they rotated thru homes every month. When Anne was the
hostess, she would set up several tables in her living room for the other
Vuecrest players. Her beautiful views of Bellevue and Mt. Rainier must have
made a perfect backdrop for those fine culinary lunches she served. I bet
those were great days! I should ask Anne that if she's ready for a "Bunco
Revival".sign me up!
Fond Farewell - Louis Chirillo passed away on March 1 at the age of 92. Lou
and his wife Rhoda moved to their Vuecrest home at 9614 Hilltop in 1960.
Their daughter Gina held a small gathering for family members at their home
and shared remembrances.
Mother's Day! It is always the second Sunday in May, and this year it
falls on May 8th. The concept of Mother's Day started in Philadelphia in
1908, by a lady named Anna Jarvis. Anna wanted to honor her mother, who had
cared for soldiers on the battlefield during the American Civil War
(1860-1864). She so admired her mother's brave and unselfish deeds that she
appealed to the government to designate a national day, when ALL mothers
would be honored. In 1914 this national holiday was created. Treasure your
mom, I'm sure she treasured you-
A Mother's Day Wish, said in a song:
I pray you'll be my eyes, and watch her where she goes,
and help her to be wise. Help me to let go.
Every mother's prayer, every child knows.
Lead her to a place,
guide her with your grace
to a place where she'll be safe.
I pray she finds your light, and holds it in her heart.
As darkness falls each night, remind her where you are.
Every Mother's Prayer/David Foster/Celine Dion. Listen to
her sing it so beautifully!
