Since my brother passed we’ve been slowly getting rid of his possessions. I found this old Jitterbug flip phone that was in pristine condition. I had to laugh, it’s 5 star enabled.
Jitterbug
Full Weekend
We stopped by to see Mom then drove down to Temecula to see Cheryl, then the Dalisay Wedding and finally a quick visit with Tawny. I’m so tired.
Olga & Jonathan 2021
The pandemic put a damper on the wedding as the date kept getting pushed back, but their day finally arrived on the 23rd. It was so nice to see family again and while it’s been over a year it felt as as if no time had passed.
I brought a 36″ softbox and a 300 watt strobe to a wedding. What kind of a moron does that?
Humming Bird Feeder
We installed a feeder for the humming birds that like to frequent our backyard. In the past they have always ignored it, so I didn’t expect much. Sandy made a “special” food formula that brought in a single hummer multiple times. I spent the next hour waiting and in the span of about 30 seconds I shot 145 photos… only one was acceptable.
Point Lobos
Work brought me close to the Golden Gate so I ventured to Point Lobos.
Ramen Friday
Last Friday I had some work to do in Sebastopol, so I visited a favorite of mine Ramen Gaijin.
Working at the Car Wash
Dom was washing cars and asked if I needed one. I was about to accept til he asked for $75.00. He said something about a college fund.
Davenport Beach
Stopped by Davenport Beach after work in Santa Cruz.
Funeral Relatives Reunion
The death of my oldest brother brings us together again. I stated this has to change after my Father’s death (2010), sadly it didn’t. The only time we get together is for funerals.
Carie was a tremendous help as always. We had a visit from Brad but I forgot to get a photo of us together (kicking myself), so I asked him send a few with some recent catches. Cheryl and Daniel brought us torpedoes which brought me back to my childhood. Bethany also dropped by and forced us to eat vegan. I thought she was gonna make Mom do yoga next. Thanks for the flowers & lunch Rhea.
We stayed with Hester & Don. Just before we left Hester brought out some old photos so Sandy made some copies.
Polenta Dutch Baby with Mortadella and Swiss Cheese
I tried a recipe from my friend Bunny.
