a fun saturday night and the Big News around town...

 
saturday night we watched emily's brother's band play a show at my favorite summer hang-out, marco's cafe in lotus.

brett, bass player extraordinaire, and his band the Ingredients were phenomenal. it was their farewell show; he's heading up to redding to go to the fire academy.

potato-pesto pizza...yummmmm...
brett's best friend, evan, aka evergreen.
it was ida's (sitting next to darin) last night in town too...she's on her way back home to norway now and we miss her already.

i LOVE marco's. it has the best summery vibe, all the river rafters hang out here and there's live music and delicious food and sometimes vendors selling crafts out front.
here's my friends justin and laila, the owners on the left, with anothony our buddy who works there and other staff. how fun is this?!
and of course i had to pose with the band.
these kids were truly incredible and utterly entertaining.

but the BEST PART OF THE NIGHT was when joey and emily took darin and i aside and told us that they are going to get married!

he has been saving this little box to put the ring in for over two years.
once prop 8 got overturned, he knew it was time!
the ring he got her was from the native american trading post and then he proposed to her on main street placerville!

i cried.
i could not possibly be more happy.
to have THIS GIRL as my sister!

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
