The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is to celebrate! [ with thanks to Dove Chocolate …]
The hills are alive
with making green. And lots of coyotes
seen and heard in my ‘hood.
This past week: Stopped
by TREK Winery for a quiet early
evening with Carlos & Trish. Thanks to Beth & Knut
at Sunnbolt for putting together
their monthly jam. On Saturday Carlos & I headed to Antioch to visit his
sister and pick our fill of oranges from her 2 trees. Luckily the rain held off
until we were finished! Had to toss a
coin for Saturday night, and pals The
Tickets Band won--at Presidio Yacht
Club. We missed Black Market Blues
at Hopmonk—and several friends said
it was a fabulous show. On Sunday Harold Jones & The Bossmen produced
another class act at San Geronimo Golf
Club. Great to see so many of you there!
Tonight the Pro Jam at Hopmonk; Wednesday the Corte
Madera Big Band Dance; Friday Danny
Click at The Sleeping Lady?, or
perhaps Eric McFadden at Hopmonk, (sure is nice to have a great
spot in the neighborhood!) or Terrapin
Crossroads; Saturday the James
Moseley Band Dance Party at Seahorse
--definitely! Perhaps The Lonestar Retrobates at PYC on Sunday if we’re able! Looks like another good
week of musical entertainment for this gal!
Blessings as you begin your personal journey again each day. ♪♫♪
