Family Tree

Visited my great-aunt with the grammie the other day. My family is strange, kind of insane, and beautiful. Spain, New Mexico, Germany, California -- love, responsibility, abuse, murder.

Later that day, my grammie and aunt helped me remove my dreads and told me their personal love stories.

Nostalgia: January

Januarys in my life have often been interesting. As this January passes -- I'm heading up to Berkeley!

-- I'd like to pause and honor the past.

January 08, in Hawaii
and sailing in Long Beach.

2007 was a hard January, but I made some great decisions.

2006 -- where was I? Turkey in 2005.
Big Bear in 2004 I think, guessing from Scotty's long hair.

And before? Well, 2001 in D.C. and 2000 in Baja!

Speaking of Baja, I'm going back there this Summer! Reunion!

I heart San Clemente

On the way back from SD, my brother and I visited an old childhood friend who lives by the shore. She was sitting on the beach with her baby, and we took a walk on the sand. I talked to J-A as we walked.

San Clemente is a wonderful place, and I'm glad our friend lives there.

How do you take care of an orchid? a rose?

Orchid Show, Balboa Park

San Diego with the sibs

This past weekend, my sister, brother, and I lived it up in SD. I like them. I like SD. It was relaxing, loving, and sharing. It was a "good thing."

Cat people

So, I'm wondering what is the difference between cat and dog people? My brother is thinking about getting a new family dog, and I suggested a cat instead. He didn't like that idea. But look....

Wouldn't she be nice to have in your home? Let's name her "Dinah."

Hmm...I'm now reminded of Cat Power. She's cool.
