• Visit with the Bean

  I had a wonderful weekend. 

  

  The Sheets at the Stag in Woodland

  My friends, The Sheets, played an amazing show in Woodland, California. Way too short but a power house of a set. I need to get busy and get them booked again around here soon.

  David had to work Saturday (which is usually our only day together all week) but we packed a bunch in that night. We shopped for some summer duds for him. He does not own any shorts. Well, now he does. And we are in the market for sandles. He bawked at first, but our first eighty degree day…well, he changed his mind pretty quickly. I guess you don’t really need summer clothes when you live in Alaska.

  I scored on a fabulous sundress for fifteen bucks at the Banana Republic Outlet. 

  Then we went to Woodland to have dinner with The Sheets before the show. Again, they played a fantastic set. Those guys and gal are just great.

  

  Who is two years old???

  So Sunday I got to hang out with my grand daughter, Juniper! She turned two on Friday. Her dad had her on Sunday, so I went to Placerville to visit. She has strep throat, so we visited at her daddy’s house for awhile. That little angel is a spit fire and so polite!

  I brought Lola with me to visit too. Juniper was so careful and kind to my little dog. Lola was on good behaviour. She can be snippish sometimes, but I kept an eye on her (she was abused and beaten at a previous home, her little tail was even broken). Juniper loved her. Lola was a champ. Juniper ran around her home and yard and was full of smiles and non stop talking. She is just this gorgeous little ball of fun! It did my grandma’mas heart every kind of good.

  Daniel is so sweet to let me visit. He is such a good daddy. These are tough times and he is just a wonderful daddy despite the rough time he is dealing with (he and my daughter split up).  The most important thing is The Bean. 

  

  Simone with my little girl

  I headed back home but thought I would try to track down my gf’s for some quality girl time. I managed to get Stac and Celeste in the same day. Stace and I went over to Celeste’s place. Simone was there. I made sandwhiches, Celeste poured cocktails. We had a heck of a good time! I miss my girls!

  

  Stace and our cute waiter

  My friend Stacy is heading into her third trimester of her pregnancy. We also met up for dinner with our respective mens. A wonderful noisy family Italian place called Buca Di Beppo. Stac and Scott had reserved seating in the kitchen. What a blast. The food was fantastic and huge portions. And the chefs sent additional plates our way at no charge! It was so good to see Stace. She is absolutely glowing and gorgeous. I love that girl. We are already making baby sitting plans for me! Yay! I am just a grandma’ma waiting to happen!

  Lets see…what else…a little trip to Alameda to visit Laura and Ian. And of course a visit with her mom, Mary. Mary recently broke her hip and is in a care facility while she heals up. I brought Lola over for a visit. Everyone likes a little dog, right?

  

  Lola gettting treats from Mary’s roomie, Nora

  Oh, she was pampered and petted. She has been bugging me to go back soon!

  That about covers it. Working lots. Mostly staying out of trouble. Madly in love.

  I could not be happier.

  So, on that note…

  

  Do you see how fat she is?

  David has her on a diet and she is not happy about it. She vomited (a big disgusting fur ball ech!) on his side of the bed. To make her point. Nice.

  ps: I am planning on a house show at the end of May with my pal Brendon Massei (you have read about him here before – The Viking Moses) and his pal Joey DeMarco (Teenage Mysticism). This should be great fun! I already have interest from a local band to play too.
