Precinct 4689

On August 17 I worked as a Precinct Inspector at a special election. I could hardly hope for a better crew. I hope I get them again in November.

A Picnic and a Birthday

Dottie’s annual picnic took place at her house this year and happened to fall on Theresa’s birthday. What could I do but chronicle the action? Here is a peek at the festivities with a big THANKS to Dottie and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Theresa.

Don’t miss the video from my friend Ken to help you decide Dottie’s fate.

Dining with Chef Jeff and Susan

A fantastic birthday gift evening with Jeff and Susan Huff, both of whom worked in our restaurant in the ’80s cooking dinner for us at our house. The food and conversation rivaled each other for excellence. Jeff now teaches at the Culinary Academy in Monterey.

Rah

Rah, a truly fine cat, came to live with us for six months toward the end of his span of years. Lymphoma cut short his life with us on the mountain.

Mountain Cleanup

Anne — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 20:14:16 +0000

There are about forty households in the three miles up here at the end of our road. Over the years outsiders have used this steep terrain to dispose of things they needed to ditch (literally!). About thirty of us met at our house up here at the end of the road and spent the day working our way down and cleaning up the ‘hood. One neighbor had a large trailer, another a small bulldozer. We roped ourselves down steep hillsides and found more than we expected–including an empty open safe, an old toilet, a sports car hulk from which the motor had been removed, an old entertainment center and enough old tires to outfit FedEx.

I took pictures and put them together into this video. Although I intended it just for the neighbors, we were able to use it to get the County to waive the considerable cost of dumping this trash. They also recognized us at a Board of Supervisors meeting and gave us a plaque.

Here are glimpses of our family trip to Utah in December 2008.
Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but even pictures can not capture the time we had together.
