I'm back!

Long delay in posting.

Been too interested in keeping the Jimi Hendrix quote and alas....

I'm over it.

Since the last post I have had another house concert. Sean Brooke Feeney.....super good show.

I have performed with a new guitarist at an Art Gallery. Some cover songs.

Have started taking guitar instruction from a famed pro Rik Elswit. I want to improve my rhythm guitar skills and am game to work methodically to do so. Thanks Rik. Power chords and picking patterns.....here I come.

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.

I hosted my second House Concert

Last week, I hosted Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands for a concert.

There were about 45 attendees and it was really good. The music was sharp as a tack and amazing.

Didn't get any pictures except for this sad little side, rear view someone got from the hallway...

The Monarchs are Back

The past week, I have seen more and more monarch butterflies in the hood.

They must be at the beginning of migration to lay eggs in the eucalyptus groves nearby.

December will be teeming with them.

Havana

Last night, went out to a Cuban restaurant with my three kids.

We shared our entrees.

We had a good time.

Hike

Today, took a hike with Ju and went through marsh lands.

Yesterday, took a hike with B and Ju and Star and went near the bay through an off leash dog park. Star stuck close and was really good and we were impressed.

Took naps after both hikes. Heavenly, deep sleep naps.

Day trip to Calistoga California

Had a day trip with my youngest child.

We had lunch in downtown Calistoga at the All Season's Grill, went to the Petrified Forest and saw Old Faithful Geyser (all in reverse order mentioned and pictured)!
