Corningware

never looked so good...

Prep for our 2016 pre-Thanksgiving dinner. Pork shoulder (some people call it Pork Butt. Anatomically incorrect but still delicious).

Still life at Butcher Shop

The hunt was successful: rabbit, quail, grouse, pheasant. Wouldn't want to try the mushrooms.

L'ARTISTE EN PLEIN AIRE

Also known as our personal Modern Day Charlemange.

BREAD,BOOTS AND BOXES

Breakfast followed by a drizzly walk. There's a picture to be painted -or something to be eaten - just about everywhere.

WHO CARES ABOUT COBBLESTONES?

Broken ankle be damned!! The ancient Roman roads are smoother than Petaluma's potholes, the bridges are for walking (not traffic jams) and the reward is always some new vista of converging angles, buildings holding up other buildings and SILENCE. I think the sound of water is actually louder here in Lagrasse because there is not the chatter and clatter of modern life.

Re: Two-two-two-two to Toulouse

Absolutely incredible where a little airplane hop will get you these days. Wonderful adventures!

Le Land du Laundry

Two-two-two-two to Toulouse

Flying, driving, traveling back at least a thousand years to the Middle Ages, hiking to the top of Chateau du Termes then snack atop the fortifications.

OPEN STUDIOS

Sonoma Art Trails Open Studio October 8-9 and 15-16. One hundred twenty six handmade books made in advance and 76 books created on-demand. All but four SOLD and lots of folks interested in classes. The culmination of 5 months of work. Brava!!!

SF Opera in the Park

Summer in San Francisco: getting and wearing down in Golden Gate Park. In the great traditions of those hippies, a free concert for 20,000 people announcing the upcoming SFOpera Season, a tribute to 9/11 and a sing-along. Cold, but fun.

Midweek Mendocino

> After hikes in Van Damme, Pigmy Forest, along the bluffs and out to the lighthouse, we went paddling (with the help of a solar motor) and sailing 3 miles up the Big River.
> According to our guide, along with the decimation if the Pomo Indians, there was unregulated logging from 1857-2001. By 2002, people raised 17 million to buy the land and river access from Georgia Pacific to stop the logging and preserve the area. It's a State Park, but now more a sanctuary. It is easy to feel that it is a sacred place.

Rivertown Revival 2016

Gary and I love stripes.
Mort and Virginia love everything!!!

Bastille Day Dinner

In the face of all the unpredictable, intentionally alarming events in the world - there is always time to celebrate friends, food and simply getting together. Thanks to Stephanie and her Water Street Bistro staff for starting and keeping up traditions. These precious little islands of beauty, pause and remembrance always make the swim worthwhile.

BAPTISTRY STRIPES?

Or maybe inspired by the Siena Cathedral??
Heading back to US of A and cooler climes after a hot-but-magical summer in Florence and Sienna (with a side and sockless trip to Cinque Terre).
The Italians have a cookie called "Bruti ma Buoni" - ugly but good. I'm thinking so many things could be described that way - or the opposite. Something to try out on our re-entry.
