Alessi's Ark


last night addie's adorable friend the amazing singer Alessi from london was in our humble little town, rollin with the homies.

here's a peak at her singing one of her enchanting songs on a balcony in scotland:


we met for beers at brick oven pub where they have over 25 brews on tap (good ones!) for only $2.50 on wednesday eves. jorden calls it b.o.p as in "wanna bop tonight?"
speaking of jorden, isn't he dashing in one of his many striking vests? he has been cajoled (many of our poor guys can relate) into the whole modeling thing lately...
i was just noticing how all my friends have great style;
check out jamie's amazing taste in sweaters....

and becky, (of course) at seven months preggers looking fresh and fashionable as ever!

and my darin, with simple tastes that naturally run toward the plaid and the flannel...so cozy.

and my dear adorable friend kaitlyn, who lived in london for a year and became friends with alessi, and now here we all are about to sing karaoke together in good old p'ville.

all us ladies, gearing up...
i didn't get a picture of us girls (we sang "never tear us apart" by inxs, not an easy choice!) 
but i did get matt trudeau and bryn rocking no diggity.

art totally fell in love with my vest (shhh, i'm totally giving it to him. i regretted not taking it off then and there and handing it over. that's how clothes should be! passed around for maximum quantity of lovins)

saying good-bye....alessi and alexander are hitting the road for los angeles.
i do hope you check out lovely alessi's music, if you haven't already, cause she is sweet as honey and wise as an owl.

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..."

Image
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

Image
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 ...
