Giving up and getting out of March was tough, a lot of difficult things happened. The hardest part was when I whined at people they often had an even way worse experience than I was talking about.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST AT BOLINAS FIRE DEPARTMENT  Mothers day, May 10^th 8-11AM 

It’s a really nice community, family, friends, experience, lots of meet ups. Always fun. I crack hundreds of eggs and always have a good time there. It’s so nice to eat and see everybody there.

I am back from New Orleans French Quarter Festival, and it was really uplifting. There was so much great music, people of all kinds and all were kind and Happy. the only thing that was a drag is that it’s hard to pick what to go to as it was sooo full. I was so happy and everybody I saw was happy and nice and it was huge and so well presented I couldn’t believe it. I am making a book about it. The only problem was there was so much happening it was hard to decide who to go see and hear. I walked 6 to 7 miles a day just going from stages to stages and it was amazing. I had to see John Boutte he’s so talented and nice and he was being replayed on the radio on my show while I was seeing him in person.

Here I am with the Grand Marshall and the painted drawing of him from my last years book. I also go to Jamnola Museum and this time I got boiled in the crawdad boil.   

 I AM OUT but I am Trying to catch up in so many ways NOW I HAVE 2000 EMAILS and I HAVE TO GO THRU 2000 in my junk pile MOSTLY SPAM BUT …I went out to the Dead Night  benefit and I just loved the way the Grateful Dead Appreciation band got it. such talent. Lots of music dancing fun and a little tears with Ripple

So happy to be able to have a painting at the Bolinas post office for people to see. This painting is like an admonition. “Mild, kind, yet earnest reproof.” I have always worried and have to slow down, I am happy to show it here I was the last artist to show in the P.O. before closure and am so glad to have the P.O. back and open.

Slide Ranch 

I went to their event this year and it was an amazing experience with people that I was introduced to and really comfortable with. Everybody was so happy,nice and interesting. I am happy with the way that they do their summer camp. I can see that if I had a grand child, which I don’t (in case somebody has an extra) kidding, anyway I would love to reccomand that camp. It is the kind of camp I had when I worked being a camp director for many years.

They offer week long summer camp for ages 5-12 AND still have a few spaces left.You better hurry cause I know it fill up. The summer camp program is amazing, mission-aligned, kids and parents love it,and it supports the sustainability of the Ranch. Planting Kids in Nature Since 1970

Earth Day Marin

so much fun I had great kids come in and do their drawing of the house that they want to have and how they are going to get electricity and how they’re going to keep it from burning up because I have to put the trees and plants a certain amount away etc. etc. I have to tell you even the young ones did great. But I’ll tell you who was really great is Fabrice Florin who is the leader of Green Change, Earth Day Marin (for his last time)a great friend, and more. He did a remarkable job with all the people that he got to volunteer there and work there little hearts out. It was amazing as it is here I was so impressed and honored to get to do my art project there I loved it and him. And IT WAS GREAT FUN !
