So, we are finally here in Seattle AND I finally got to meet my sister Shannon Tucker. Now for those of you who are not up to speed. Shannon was introduced to me by my daughter Annabelle, both of whom are transgender. I was seeking advice on how to care for Annabelle post surgery and Annabelle suggested I speak with Shannon, who helped care for another young trans woman after her surgery. So, that's how we met, over the phone, just over 2 years ago. Since that time we have chatted many, many times via Facebook chat but had not met in person. So part of this journey was about making that happen. I call Shannon my sister because she is like a surrogate mom/aunt to Annabelle here in Seattle.
Seattle is an absolutely beautiful city, despite all the negative comments you hear about the rain in the winter. It's now August and the sun has shown very brightly ever since we've arrived! We're staying in a very lovely home in West Seattle that boasts a small waterfall and koi pond in the backyard! It is so very relaxing and peaceful here. The one bonus is I get to have time to myself to relax while the rest of the film crew is out on their shoots in which I am not included!
From what I hear, filming is going great. The crew is working long hours making sure they got what they need and it is all working properly. We've got another week of filming left, then we head back to Rhode Island!
