El Seis de Mayo


i've got some photes from eric and ashley's cinco de mayo party.
we had such a good time.
there was tons of homemade salsa and guacamole, so i was basically in heaven.
oh, and of course margaritas!


plus, emily wore this dress that she thrifted last year when we were in kalispell, montana. it cost her $2.99 and is completely handmade...gorgeous. mine came from etsy and i love it...had to pair it with a cotton slip cause it was a teensy bit chilly.

we got to see old friends like sara and kelly:
and new friends like bridget (on the right, next to the luminous mallory):
and cassi, a model and photographer's assistant, who took a lot of these great photos:

this is our host eric with friends akira, ryan, and chris:
and hostess ashley with her adorable kitten jules. i'm so in love with him. his body is stocky in just the right way. i'm so glad our friends are cat people.

we had a sombrero photo shoot:

but best of all were jules' antics. he uses his paws exactly like hands. he eats with them and everything, like a little raccoon!

i won't even get into details of the pull-up contest. yeah, i refrained from that one but i am quite surprised at how strong most of my friends are, both the guys and gals!

all in all it was a perfect cinco de mayo and i am excited for more spanish-style dancing at our upcoming tapas party.

how was yours?

gorgeous photos. really, you got some cool friends and I still think you are absolutely beautiful.

Cinco de mayo is definitely an American holiday cause I had no idea about it till I went there. Thus, CDM day was non existent here in oz!

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r...

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here! That lu...

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep ...
