the year that was...

2005

 

 

  january... a quiet month as i recall. saw the new year in at home, how almost boring. set off some fireworks in the road out front, topaz loves fireworks!
 

 february... who, me? yep, back onstage in steve martin's "THE UNDERPANTS", a silly play. also lots of music: KODO, the japanese taiko group, at the marin center. then here in blue lake, TEMPEST, the celtic rock band, and a week later, LITTLE FEAT! wow! full month!
 

 march... eVc retreat at sea ranch again this year. we keep saying we'll try different places, but we get such a great deal on a house there & it's so beautiful.
         

 

 

 april... 2 weeks on the road with the teardrop, a grand desert wildflower tour! & at the end of the month, there was tracy's 50th birthday.
 

 may... one of my favorite humboldt county events -- craftsman's days at the blue ox milllworks.
 

 june... time for a testimonial, that digging in the dirt with my hands really does help keep me sane & happy -- i love my garden!
         

 

 

  july... looks like summer! the solarcooker guy cooking veggies in the co-op parking lot. fun things happened this month that i don't have fotos for, especially mad river festival & folklife festival at dell-arte.
 

 august... i took a birthday trip back east to visit kin. then after i got home, brother david moved his family here from haiti, which has gone insane, in time for roxanne's birthday.
 

 september... northcountry fair! samba parade! summer's over... & so is redwood curtain theatre's stay at the eureka mall -- we cleared out & moved everything into storage for a few months.
         

 

 

 october... the annual chamber readers party was a 30th anniversary party! & halloween was especially fun this year of course, with a kid in the family.
 

 november... began the month with a getaway weekend at orr hot springs, then WCA had a great "novemberfest", and for thanksgiving went with david & his family to visit aunt bernice & uncle everett in lake havasu city AZ.
 

 december... i love december! bringing in the tree & getting the decorations down from the attic. & dressing topaz up for the foto. also another 50th birthday party this year, marianne o'sheeran's.
