And we’ve got our own desfilando around the house. One young boy sure makes a good parade all by himself. He and his Dad drew a US flag and they borrowed a quilt stick (taken from the baby quilt I haven’t worked on in years).
After the parade (and I hope we [...]
We went for a short ramble Saturday with the Kid’s friend. They took some encouraging, until they transformed into Bugs Bunny, Speedy, Super Why, and finally Bugs Bunny and girlfriend and Spot Bunny and girlfriend and me as Taxi Rabbit. A crowd, considering we’re three people, and only one of us over four [...]
At la playa fria, we buried the kid. Or did we find toe seedlings coming through the sand?
We played soccer with Uncle’s puppy. Border collie and cocker spaniel, both parents mixed. Four months old, and a sweetheart. He wanted to play with the rabbit, who wasn’t too worried.
Abuela and the kid [...]
The Monday after Easter, we decided we’d had enough snow. So we drove from Sonora to Jamestown and spent a couple hours wandering around Railtown.
We looked at old trains.
We walked around the Roundhouse and looked at old trains.
I took a lot of photos that look like this.
I took a lot of completely different photos that [...]
We took a quick overnight trip with friends Easter weekend to look for snow. Took some driving, but we found it! (Give me a break here - we live in Oakland. No snow. Heck, I saw more snow in Birmingham, Alabama than I see in Oakland!)
The kiddo wanted mittens for the snow, not the gloves [...]
A friend and I drove down to Stitches West today for the last day of the Market.
Our feet hurt after nearly 6 hours doing the shopping walk. After a while, we would look at each other and say, “Oh, it’s more yarn.”
So much loveliness!
Only a few, out of so much:
I met Cheryl Oberle briefly, [...]
Every year, my husband goes to Mexico for two weeks, always including Easter week. Every year, we pay about the same for the ticket. Every year, he waffles - will he go? won’t he go? will he go? - until he finally buys the ticket. Every year, by the time he gets around to buying [...]
Saturday afternoon, driving onto the Richmond Bridge from Marin.
It was Mema’s birthday, and I visited for her birthday and to gather some signatures. When she spoke to my aunt by telephone, she told my aunt, “A neighbor is here helping me with business.” (I was happy to be seen as helpful, rather than meddling.) But [...]
Today’s the last day of the Kid’s three week winter break. Nothing exciting planned, but it was a Nice Day. I cleaned up a bit in the morning, and left the front room about half done. Time to visit my grandmother today. The Kid wasn’t going with me, but at the [...]
One of our must-visit places in the area when family (or anyone else) visits is Kronkhite. Officially, Rodeo Beach at Fort Kronkhite in the Marin Headlands. We always called it Kronkhite. Now, in my own little bit of family, we call it La Playa Fria. Because it is.
When I moved back [...]
